Top 5 BB Creams for All Skin Tones

BB creams are a big deal. They exploded into the Western market in the early 2010s after taking Asia by storm starting in the 50s. Why do women around the world of all different skin tones love them? They save you time by essentially combining five products in one: serum, moisturizer, primer, foundation and sunscreen. You can use one on its own or underneath foundation, depending on the level of coverage you like. The BB technically stands for “beauty balm” or “blemish balm,” but we think it should stand for “basically badass.” Because they are.

Now, there are a variety of BB creams on the market that are “self-adjusting,” which means they come in a single shade that adapts to each person’s specific color. Here are our top five picks for self-adjusting BB creams that work for a range of skin tones to help you take the guesswork out of your beauty routine and ultimately, save you precious time in the morning.
