Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream


Im pretty sure that if you're not into skin care, you would have no idea what a BB cream is. And even some of those who are into skin care still haven't heard of what a BB Cream is . I have heard of BB creams over a year ago from reading and watching korean blogs and tv shows and i was really curious what the hype was all about . Many korean actors and actresses attributed their beautiful skin to the use of BB creams which sparked my curiosity even more since i love everything that has the phrases "skin care" on it.









So what is a BB Cream?

BB Creams stands for Blemish Balm Cream. For skin care product addicts like me , i think most would agree that this is one of the best products that has ever landed in the market. Its very popular in Asia especially in Korea and Japan. Originally formulated in Germany it was being used by dermatologists to help laser surgery patients protect, soothe and refine highly sensitive skin while providing light coverage for post-laser scars, acne and other blemishes. Additionally, BB cream encourages skin regeneration and helps to maintain youthful skin. It was popularized mostly by Korean Actors and actress as part of their skin care and due to the Korean Wave slowly the BB cream became more popular not just in Korea and Japan but in other parts of Asia as well and slowly breaking through Europe and America.







MISSHA PERFECT COVER BB CREAM












Missha M Perfect Cover BB Cream in No.21 50 ml






(also comes in 30 ml squeeze tubes)












(most BB creams come in squeeze tubes but the Missha 50 ml BB cream comes in squeeze pump tubes, so you would't have to worry about the product getting contaminated)












The BB cream on its own has a very melty yet light texture, It is quite opaque at initial application but blends to your skin eventually.













(Here are some photos of me with futile attempts of trying to look Fobby using Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream No.21)
























NOW FOR MY REVIEW

Coverage: It has really good coverage a pea size (single pump) of this product was enough for my whole face and neck and gives you a smooth dewy finish and it covered most of my blemishes
Oil Control: it managed to keep my skin looking fresh for about 6 hours which i think is good





ADDITIONAL POSITIVES

  • Brightened and gave me a clean bare face complexion
  • The advantage of multiple products in one (tinted moisturizer, anti aging, whitening, SPF)
  • Boasts of an SPF 42 PA+++ (PA stands for Protection grade of UVA.)So you know a product is good if you see the letterS SPF on it usually products come in SPF 20's to 30's but this is SPF 42 which is a hell lot of Sun protection
Look out for my other BB Cream Brand Reviews: next on my list Skinfood BB Creams, Lioelle, Skin79, Etude house, The Face Shop,BRTC, Beauty Credit, Innisfree
