This gel-cream hybrid feels like a drink of water for your face.
Real Simple / Reese Herrington
I’ve long become a skin tint and tinted moisturizer convert, slowly learning to embrace a more natural look with my makeup. With my combo-dry and textured skin, it’s always hard to find a base that can blur, even out, and hydrate my complexion without also feeling like I’m wearing 5 pounds of product on my face. I prefer a foundation that feels more like skincare, which is exactly how the new Kosas BB Burst Tinted Gel Cream won me over on the first try.
Kosas is renowned for its skincare-packed complexion products, and the $38 BB Burst Tinted Gel Cream follows suit in all the right ways. Aside from the profoundly hydrating brew of skin barrier-supporting saccharide isomerate, red-reducing zinc, plumping copper peptides, and moisture-retaining sodium PCA, it’s the second-skin finish and airy feel, even after adding blush, bronzer, and the rest of the works, that keeps me coming back.

The brand provided me with a free sample of shade 20, a light-medium neutral warm, to test, and it quickly earned a spot in my beauty kit. As someone with a light olive skin tone, I appreciate the 24 hue options in the light, medium, medium deep, and deep shade families and in warm, cool, neutral, and olive undertones. Because the coverage is so light, the shade range is also flexible, which is a major plus for me since I always have the hardest time finding an exact match for my complexion.
I felt a refreshing cooling effect the moment the gel-cream hybrid touched my skin. I was impressed by how well it concealed the redness around my nose, eyes, and mouth with just two pumps while still feeling incredibly lightweight. I like to apply it with my finger, first letting it melt into my skin and then using a blending sponge to finish blurring it out.
While the formula is touted as buildable, it doesn’t get very opaque, making it perfect for nailing that “no-makeup” makeup look. Due to the radiant finish, I like to set it with a sheer powder to ensure it lasts throughout the day, but it does make a lovely base for the rest of my cream, liquid, and powder makeup.
Nail a very natural makeup look while boosting hydration with Kosas’ new BB Burst Tinted Gel Cream. Below are five more impressive complexion perfectors from Kosas worth checking out.
