    I can’t even begin to say how much I love this product, it is so lightweight and it doesn’t even feel like I have makeup on my face in LOVE✨

    Frequently Asked Questions

    You've got questions, we've got answers

    How should I apply BB Burst?

    Start with clean, moisturized skin and let your skincare fully absorb. Apply BB Burst with your fingers like a tinted moisturizer—the warmth of your hands helps it melt seamlessly into skin. For areas that need more coverage, pair with Kosas Revealer Concealer. Then, set with Cloud Set Baked Powder for a fresh, soft-focus finish.

    Is BB Burst a skin tint, a tinted moisturizer, or a foundation?

    BB Burst is a fresh take on all of the above, but is most similar to the experience of a tinted moisturizer. It has an innovative, refreshing gel-cream texture that delivers a hydrating burst of active skincare, light buildable coverage, and a smooth, hydrated, natural finish. It offers the prettiest tint + serious skincare in 1!

    What is the coverage?

    BB Burst has light, buildable coverage that looks like your skin, but better. You can apply 1 layer for a barely-there tint or build up for a smoother, more perfected look.

    What is the finish?

    BB Burst leaves a hydrated, natural finish—never greasy or cakey. The result is skin that looks plumped, fresh, and glowy without extra shine.

    Does BB Burst contain spf?

    BB Burst does not include SPF. For sun protection—and a smooth, glowy, hydrated base, layer it over DreamBeam SPF 40.

    Is BB Burst good for oily or acne-prone skin?

    Yes. BB Burst’s non-comedogenic formula hydrates without clogging pores or adding excess shine. It’s perfect for achieving a dewy, skin-like glow without heaviness.

    What skin types is BB Burst best for?

    BB Burst is designed for all skin types, especially normal to dry or dehydrated skin. Its hydrating gel-cream formula helps smooth texture and support moisture balance while feeling lightweight and breathable.

    Customers say this BB cream provides light, natural-looking coverage with a dewy, hydrating finish. Many appreciate its lightweight feel and buildable coverage that doesn't look cakey. However, numerous reviews mention formula separation issues, with the product dispensing as oily, watery, or chunky rather than smooth. Common complaints include an unpleasant smell and difficulty blending when separated. Some users experience skin sensitivity reactions. Despite these concerns, satisfied customers praise its natural appearance, shade matching, and ability to create a glowing complexion for everyday wear.

      I’m so sad they’ve discontinued this product. I love it. It’s super sheer, but still gives good coverage. It feels like skin care very hydrating. All my friends say my skin was really “skinning” every time I wear it. It is a great product I will miss it.

      BB Burst is fire!

      I’m sad to see this product go!

      It’s the perfect blend of good coverage yet feels lightweight and keeps my skin clear.

      That’s why I bought multiple! Get it before it’s gone.

      NEVER DISCONTINUE THIS!! - MY DAILY GO TO!!

      This is my favorite thing to use daily! 💗 The finish is light and hydrating, it doesn't crease and hides my redness perfectly without needing to use anything heavier. I was sad and disappointed when I went to two different Sephora locations this weekend to restock on this, only to find out at the second location that this product will be discontinued. Please don't 😭 I don't know what I will do without it. I'm using a different product from a different brand today the people at Sephora suggested as an alternative. It's not my right shade, it's a little thick and it's only been an hour since I put it on and it's already creasing. To my surprise I came on the website and found there's still a few bottles in my shade. Ordering ASAP!!!!!!

      Holy Grail

      I have looked for something like this for the last couple years, and I am so glad I finally decided to try it! Its coverage is just what I need! Enough to mask blemishes, but doesn’t blank out your face! Looks like your skin but better! I’m so glad I bought it!

      The absolute best

      I love this product. The coverage is absolutely perfect. It’s not heavy but very lightweight and comfortable. I’m 60 years and have tried a lot of brand name makeup, all were too heavy and drying.

      I’m so happy that found Kosas BB Burst ♥️

      Holy grail!

      This is my absolute favorite product for my face. I have tried so many foundations and skin tints and this makes my skin look so hydrated and glowy and lasts all day. It feels like nothing but looks so good. It is lighter coverage so it looks natural and if I have blemishes I just use concealer to really cover them up. I have super acne prone sensitive skin and this has been great for me. I have been using it a couple of years and don’t ever want to be without it!

      Light and airy

      Light coverage for a more "natural" look.
