11 Jun Makeup Review, Swatches: AJ Crimson BB + D Cream: 8 Shades For Women Of Color: Latina, African American
It was a pleasure to attend the AJ Crimson BB+D Cream launch at the Shoreham Hotel in New York a few weeks ago. I myself found a BB cream that blended into my skin PERFECTLY (I use AJ Crimson #2 BB Cream!)
AJ finding my match!
Makeup artist AJ Crimson created a beauty revolution for women of color, launching a BB+D Cream ($34.00) that has changed the game!
Check out BeautyStat’s swatches of the IMAN BB Crème for women of color in 6 shades —> HERE!
AJ‘s work has graced the pages of Glamour, Interview and Marie Claire UK Magazine— and has celebrities like Fergie, Brandy, Missy Elliott and Hilary Duff requesting his services.
We’ve all seen the BB and CC commercials, which up until recently were only available in two shades: Light and Medium. You may even be lucky and find five shades, but none which women of color can actually wear to match their particular skintone.
AJ partnered up with Ofra Cosmetics for the development of this beauty balm that will moisturize, correct, protect, hydrate and cover blemishes. While most brands only offer a small range of shades, AJ went one step further and considered women globally:
“My goal is to bridge that gap!” says Crimson. “Women in the global community come in more than a couple shades and are left with limited options. By customizing the right shades and increasing the coverage, we made BB better!”
AJ Crimson’s BB+D Cream offers the following benefits:
• Lightweight
• Doubles as primer
• Natural looking
• Anti-Aging
• Flower extract treats bacteria and helps heal scars and acne
• Helps retain skin’s moisture
• Vitamin C
• Antioxidant agents
• Nourishing

Available at www.ajcrimson.myshopify.com, AJ enlisted the beauty of LeToya Luckett, Alexandra Burke and Adrienne Bailon who grace the ads for his new BB cream, which is available in 8 shades.
Evelyn, Adrienne & AJ
This formula feels air-whipped and disappears into skin, leaving it looking flawless and feeling hydrated. Even those with the darkest skintone can finally enjoy even-toned skin.

Posted at 23:55h, 12 JuneGarnier gets close for me but not close enough . It would be nice to find a decent BB cream to wear instead of a full coverage foundation , especially this summer.

Posted at 12:36h, 13 JuneOh, what a blessing! I’m excited to know that there is a product that will cater to the different hues of women. Like myself, I’m two toned and having a blend-able BB cream to cater to my needs is fantastic! I will definitely look into purchasing this product and see how my skin feels about it :)When my skin is happy, I’m happy!
Is there a way to get samples??
