    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 natural, lightweight coverage that feels like skincare on the skin. Many appreciate its hydrating, dewy finish and buildable coverage that evens complexion without feeling heavy. However, numerous reviews mention significant formula separation issues, with the product dispensing as watery liquid with chunks or clumps. Common complaints include an unpleasant smell that some describe as rancid or earthy. While many praise the natural glow and skin-like finish, others report application difficulties due to the separated consistency and note it can feel greasy or cause breakouts for some users.

      Amazing! Please don’t stop it!

      This is an absolutely amazing product.

      It may seem a bit weird at first because of the consistency, but once applied correctly it is just excellent.

      I was really sad to see that this product seems to be discontinued. Kosas, please don’t stop this!

      This is a very unique product. I could not find an alternative that makes my skin look so good and fresh and still natural. I totally love the BB Burst and hope it will still be available in the Future!

      Just discovered and LOVE! Please dont discontinue!

      I just discovered this wonderful BB tint and bought numerous bottles because Ive read it may be discontinued!! As someone in my fifties I have learned foundation is not your friend as we age. This has changed that for me! I hate most foundations because theyre heavy and settle into fine lines. This BB is lightweight and goes on beautifully. I read some criticism about separation, and after a few tries Ive learned to shake well, disperse a small amount on the back of my hand and swirl with a foundation brush. The result is perfect. I apply like normal all over except I lightly "stipple" over fines lines. Some people dont care for it but judging by reviews, many love it ...LIKE ME! Considering buying a couple more but not sure on shelf life. Wish it had SPF though. Please do not discontinue!!!

      Please bring it back!

      I only recently switched to this BB from another brand and am so sad that it is being discontinued. The coverage is perfect for my makeup preferences and I love the skin benefits and ease of application. Bring it back!
