I was surprised by the jump between shades, I would've fit best with a shade between this and the previous but this works in thin layers although a tad too dark for my face.
Note: This BB cream is now too dark for me!

Packaging & product!
I really love what BB cream promise us. At least the Asian brand BB creams like Skin79 and Missha. Anti-wrinkle, anti-aging, anti-blemish with good coverage and oil control, it sounds like a dream! I've yet to have good experiences with BB creams but now I've hit gold!
Although this is actually a bit too dark and orange for me, in thin layers or mixed with other lighter bases/ bb creams I have it has been amazing on my skin! I love how this has high SPF protection. The consistency of this product is very smooth and it has high coverage for scars/blemishes. I love how there's a feeling of moisture on the face even on drier spots.
There are only 4 shades in this range of BB cream from Missha, they have different ranges of which I haven't looked into. The first shade is very ivory and pink, the next two and fair with slight yellow tones and the fourth this medium tan which is still not dark enough for a lot of people.
The packaging of this cream is very hygienic and great. I like the pump, it's clean for dispensing and the thick tube is soft and not prone to breaking unlike glass or a hard plastic.

I often on a daily basis mix my bases, depending on how my skin is feeling or if I've got a new slight tan. Mixing bb creams with foundations with tinted moisturizers!
Missha and Peri pera have the same high coverage and moisturizing feeling which I love however both have a dewy finish.
l'oreal and Bourjois have a semi-matte finish, I often wear bourjois alone unlike the others which I mix
By itself after two thin layers, this cream leaves a dewy finish, a glow on the skin but it stays wet on the skin and its needed to set with a light powder or like I do, a foundation powder lightly for long lasting oil control!

Recommend: If you fit into the three fairer shades or this medium tan shade then definitely give this a shot! If you are like me and fit between this shade and the one before, mix this with a lighter base to customize for your skin.
Repurchase: When I get low on this, totally! The consistency and feeling it gives my skin all day long is so comforting and I like mixing this to match my skin.
Bottom line: Moisturizing, high SPF, high coverage and very smooth and blendable, this BB cream really is an excellent all round BB cream which reaches all aspects of a great base. It's too bad there aren't many colors but I am pleased that this is quite tan.
UPDATE: This foundation is TOO DARK for me now. I match shade 21/23 from Missha, I use this to add beige warmth to my other bb creams!
How do you feel about BB creams? Do you like heavy coverage?
Tried Missha BB creams? Want to?
let me know!
Feel free to comment! Thanks!
missha perfect cover is my fave bb cream!! but I wonder why it's so expensive there? I always get mine from ebay for around 15$.. :-D
ReplyDeleteyou look good with this bb cream though! your skin looks flawless and clear ;)
That's the regular price here in Watsons! I haven't went to the missha shop but I will! That's great you get it for half what i pay! thanks! I love the finish, it so nice! :)
DeleteI looooove Perfect Cover. It's one of the best BB creams I have ever tried~ :)
ReplyDeleteToo bad this came out dark on you. It still looks rather nice and gives you a tan appearance!
Agreed, the best I've tried so far! Haha, I've been a bit tan but now not so much, must mix with something lighter for a better look! It actually looks correct with my limbs which are very tan but a bit too dark for the face! ^^
DeleteThanks for the review and the comparisons with the others! It gives you a lovely finish! :)
ReplyDeleteYou're welcomed! I love helping people out like that :)
Deletei have this one in 27, and 31 and the choboyang in #2 by Missha i love em both but this one breaks me out b/c of the mineral oil :( it has perfect coverage though and very moisturizing. Your skin is glowing!! love it on u :) and i am like you i always mix my foundations too i cant ever get the right shade :( its a dark cloud but the silver lining is i can try any shade i want as long as its yellow undertoned :D
ReplyDeleteOoo..I haven't tried the other bb creams from them! I must go try them! That's too bad! It is very moisturizing, that's why I love it! Yes, same for lots of us asian girls, yellow toned is the best match! :)
DeleteOh I've been dying to get this! Too bad we don't have it in Malaysia and I'm hesitant to get them online for fear of getting fakes.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking of shade 27, too, as I'm pretty tanned. I do agree 27 is a bit too dark for you, so good tip on mixing it with a lighter base.
I'm happy to hear it has high coverage. Want!
Aha! You should try once you get the chance! It's very very good! moisturizing, high coverage and combine with powder, you're set for the whole day! :)
DeleteI have a small tube of this, but I did used to use the Signature version regularly (which I really liked). I think these BB creams go a tiny bit ashy on me (I use #23) and can be oily, but I do love the coverage and blendability, as well as the dewiness you get when you first apply it. I haven't tried many BB creams, but I've been really happy with the 2 Missha ones I have :)
ReplyDeleteAh, yes I swatched the lighter ones and because I'm not very pale or pink toned, it was ashy on me too! It's very smooth isn't it? Missha definitely has been the best I've tried. Very happy too ^^
DeleteThe results look nice on your skin. Your skin practically glowed in the picture. So hard to find the right shade, isn't it? I'd get this again too, if one of the shades matches me.

Thanks! Definitely recommend this if you get the chance. Mixing has been the trick for a good match!
Deletecomplete review, awesome! now following you, hope you follow back and stay connected :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! I will take a look at your blog! :)
Deletegreat review, i'm happy that you compared it to other bb creams. I've been debated which one to get for to get for longest time but now I think I'll just get this one! :)
ReplyDeleteYou're welcomed! This one really is quite amazing, definitely worth getting. I can see myself finishing every drop of this!
Deletethis BB cream looks really good on you.. I tried Missha a few yrs a go.. broke me out :S glad it works on you though!
ReplyDeleteAww, that's horrible! sorry to hear! I think we react differently at different times though, I've yet to blame any of my breakout on foundations...but I guess I'm lucky!
ReplyDeleteOMG, this looks like such a great bb cream and the color looks like it might actually be suitable for me. Just wondering, what's your shade in the Nars ranges? I'm Barcelona. Just wondering if we're the same skin tone.
ReplyDeleteI love your detailed and informative review. And the idea of mixing them together to get the right color and consistency is genius.

Love your review and swatches of this and great comparisons, thank you they are really helpful. I get asked a lot about this product, I'm in shade #23, its really hard to find anything darker for other people. #27 I've managed to find on Yesstyles and even then, they seem to have bumped the price up for it. I am in the UK so need to buy online. It gives you a lovely healthy glow though. I am going to link your blog to some people who are interested in this product in this shade.

ReplyDeleteI have #23 and even though it is light I like it. I was supposed to get #27 but I felt it a bit too dark and will eventually turn darker on my acidic skin I decided on #23 instead. It's a little ashy on me because of the gray & pink tones in it but way better than #21 which I've also used for a short time and what got me into Missha in the first place :)
