Ok....I'm gonna have to check that out. I like my Laura Mercier TM but recently purchased Smasbox TM and I adore it!! I'm kinda racking up on foundations/TM. Ordered Benefits Hello Wow foundation about three wks ago and yesterday I ordered a Lancome foundation.

I use the Becca Luminous Tinted Moisturizer (technically not a BB, but..) and it's pretty good!  I wear the darkest shade in Mink.

I am thinking of the Tinted Moisturizer from NARS or maybe a product from BLACK'UP ?

CARGO TM gets it done! I also use MAC studio moisture tint in dark plus when I want a matte look. I will, however, say that a surprising fave has been Lancome Bienfait tinted moisturizer in 4. It will probably fit an NC 44-50/NW 40/43/45. I ALWAYS get compliments when i wear this.

 

Edit: I tried the NARS TM in Malaga & Seychelles. The former is around an NC 42-45/NW40-43 while Seychelles is around NW43-45/NC45-50. Nice, but not $42 woth of nice. Oily over time. I will be trying Smashbox's BB cream next- I'll report back!

I might try the others you all have mentioned.  I didn't like Nars' TM, because it felt greasy, but they all feel that way to me.

I also tried the bb cream from Smashbox in dark and I like the results. Tinted moisturizer is not the same as bb cream: bb creams are supposed to have a ton of skin care benefits whereas a tinted moisturizer typically does not. I'm sure depending on the brand the benefits in the cream vary, but at basic it's supposed to moisturize, treat and protect from the sun. With the Smashbox bb I wear alone or under a foundation. I think a lot of people are bringing up the NARS because it hit around the time of this bb craze, if I'm not mistaken. I still haven't checked out the NARS tm, but I'm happy with my Laura Mercier at the moment (in walnut). And I wholeheartedly agree about spending money with companies that acknowledge my end nof the color spectrum.

The NARS TM in this case is like a BB cream because it does have the skin care benefits.

 

Good to know Smashbox in Dark is a good choice, might pick up a sample.

I just looked up the ingredients in it and it does sound incredible. I may just have to check it out once my LM runs out.

I tried smashbox's too and it works great under foundation. The sunscreen in it makes it too light to wear on its own and it's too yellow toned. It does prime well and provides the sun coverage I need. I don't think I'm ever going to find BB creams dark enough because the sunscreen added to them will only keep them on the light side. I don't mind using them as a primer/moisturizer/sunscreen.

NARS tm is great, but it doesn't prime, and it's so oily.

I want to try out the new Jane Iredale BB cream - I haven't had a desire to try out BB creams since Jane Iredale released theirs.

Maybelline's Dream Fresh BB Cream  comes in  5 shades ranging from light to Deep in their Dream Fresh line.  I used the  Medium/Deep  over the summer and liked that it actually blended with my complexion as my skin tanned. The only thing I didn't like about it was I sweat it off and had to use  powder to reblend so I wouldn't look splotchy. I did get a sample of Smashbox's yesterday after seeing everyone's reviews so I'm gonna give that a try!

I heard Sleek has a new BB cream that ranges from light to darker than most BB creams go

I had to go do some searching to read about this thanks to you posting about it.

 

Danielle of StyleandBeautyDoctor blog did a review about it.

I bought the Maybelline Dream Fresh BB cream in Deep n after one day of wear I'm really liking it... Deep is more suited 4 a NW45 complexion but since its sheer its nearly traceless on my NC50 skin plus I dont mind a subtle bronzing... Anyone else try it????

Yes and I really like it cheerleader.gifI'm an NW45 and it blends perfectly; I also have oily skin and when I wear this shine doesn't break out as fast as other products. I've also notice that it doesn't transfer like Laura Mercier's Tinted Moisturizer (at least for me).

Not sure if anyone knew this but Iman will be debuting a BB Cream in December. The line will have six shades and can be found on imancosmetics.com as well as stores. The suggested retail price is $20.00. Just thought I'd pass this along.
