THE BASICS
There are 6 shades of Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream and two
sizes, 20ml and 50ml. I received the 50ml tube which has a pump dispenser. The
20ml one comes in a squeeze tube. Also the shade I chose is No.23 Natural Beige, which is the third
lightest and first yellow-toned shade in their range.
MY OPINION
I have ALWAYS wanted to try Asian
BB Creams. To know how good or bad are the various American/European BB creams,
I wanted to try the actual product. There were a couple of good options like
Skin 79, Liole but after reading various reviews, I liked Missha most; Keauty Store were very kind to send me a tube to try.
I have tried some, and swatched
many BB Creams in store. I do have an idea at least about the coverage and
consistency of BB Creams by Garnier, L’Oreal,
Olay, Nivea & Maybelline. And when bloggers say they are more similar
to tinted moisturisers they are right! Missha
Perfect Cover BB Cream is exactly what would one expect something which is
between a foundation & tinted moisturizer to be. Not heavy coverage, yet
perfecting the skin tone.
Of all the foundations, BB creams and tinted moisturisers I have tried, my favourite used to be Liz Earle’s Sheer Skin Tint, I always
reached for it. Since I have received Missha's Perfect Cover BB Cream every time I have gone out of the house I have
picked this up. I do not like heavy coverage, since thankfully I do not have
many skin imperfections. I like my skin to look natural, flawless, radiant and
even-toned. And this kind of sums up what this BB cream does to me. It covers
all slight imperfections and pigmentation quite well. I don’t even touch up
with a concealer.
I have the shade No.23 Natural Beige which is the lightest
yellow-toned shade in their range. The first time I was putting it on, I was
scared by the grayish cast in it. But that’s kind of the beauty of this
self-adjusting product, how after 15 minutes it oxidizes and sets like a part
of my face. It has a semi-matte finish, blends SO WELL and without using a primer it lasts an entire
day. It has
a nice creamy consistency which is not too thick or thin. It has an SPF 40+, so
you skip the sunblock. And it has moisturising properties which can be a
little too moisturising for oily skin types, and may require blotting papers
over the day.
Even the packaging is very
elegant, deep red and light gold, with a pump dispenser which makes using it
super-duper easy. Though it has a strong floral powdery smell, which is quite
pleasant for me but may bother some.
The Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream certainly lives up to its and the
Asian BB Creams’ hype. I LOVE this product! It is that kind of thing one would
take on a long vacation for both hiking around in sneakers and dressing up
proper for the evening.
MY RATING
Do I recommend it? Oh yes! If you want to indulge into the Asian BB Creams, better start here.
