Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream

I've been searching for the perfect BB cream and I think I may have found it.  I will admit, I haven't searched that hard.  In fact, this is the second BB cream I have tried and I think I'm content.

My first BB cream experience was the Garnier BB Cream for Oily Skin in the Light shade.  I received this free from Garnier.  I didn't really like anything about this cream.  I know there are heaps of people out there who absolutely love it, but it did nothing for me.  To use the word 'cream' is used very loosely since it is extremely runny, but nothing that a Real Techniques stippling brush cannot handle.  The shade was wrong for me.  Too dark.  Too yellow.

I read a review about the Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream and was super excited when I heard it was SPF 42.  Number 1, I need that kind of protection.  SPF 15 means nothing to my skin.  Number 2, 42 is the answer to the universe, so surely it would be the answer to my BB cream dilemma.  I placed an order through KeautyStore.com.  They had two sizes, and I decided to go with the mini to see how I liked it.  They were kind enough to send heaps of samples.

My goodies!

The packaging was really simple for the mini bottle.  It's a squeeze tube.  The first thing I noticed about this BB cream was that it was actually creamy.  It also smells like baby powder, which could put people off; however, it doesn't last long once it's blended in.



The shade I chose was No. 21 Bright Beige.  This BB cream does have a slight grey tone to it, but it works really well on my skin.  Much better than yellow undertones.  It looks fantastic on my skin and it does what I thought a BB cream would do.  It acts as a moisturiser.  I feel no need to use an additional moisturiser with this.  I don't need to add any sunscreen.  Recently, it had its sunburn test and passed splendidly (unfortunately, my body sunscreen did not do its job).  I have no need for a concealer; the coverage is build able, which makes it perfect in my opinion.  I have combination/oily skin and it holds its own regarding that.  I do set it with powder, but I only touch up once (if that) during the day.

I'm really glad I tried this BB cream and I'm so happy that I don't think I will continue searching for others.  Maybe if there was a colour in this range that had a slightly more pink tone, then I would consider it, but for now I'm totally happy with this product!

What is your favourite BB cream?

    1. I have a sample of the Lioele Triple the Solution, but I haven't had a chance to use it yet. I would definitely give this Missha one a try. The smaller size is pretty reasonably priced.
