I have been in search of a good BB cream for everyday wear with good coverage and with a good undertone for dark skin. Any recommendations?

Lumene has moderate coverage ( similar to a foundation ). They run rather dark which is a common issue amongst the pale toned ladies here. You can find it at Ulta or CVS/Walgreens. It's about $14.00 give or take depending on where you go.

Thanks Kitty! Are they sold online too? I stay in Nairobi so shipping is the only option for me:(

They should be sold online, it's a Swedish brand that isn't too popular here in the states. There are sellers on Amazon so you can always check that out. ☺

Noel, I tried the deepest shade in Garnier but it was way too light for me and it had a whitish undertone that made me look weird.

I am a 2y12 in the Sephora Color IQ match and these are my hits and misses:

Hits:

- Dior BB Creme: Love, love, love it (and I have a review of it in my profile- pictured).
- Dr.Jart: Light coverage, nothing I'd brag about.

Misses:

- Tarte: To light
- The balm: To light
- L'Oreal: After it 'set' it made me look like a gray zombie.
- Garnier: Broke me out
- Smashbox: Broke me out

I love how the Dior BB cream looks on you. Very natural. I think that's something for me to try out:)
