MISSHA M Perfect Cover BB Cream No.21 Light Beige - Light with Cool Undertone SPF 42 PA +++1.69 Fl Oz - Tinted Moisturizer with SPF

I used to use Laura Mercier mineral foundation (natural beige). When they discontinued the product, I went down the rabbit hole of finding something, Anything, that’s comparable. Still haven’t been able to find the perfect replacement, especially with the buildable, flawless coverage…. But this has Mischa BB Cream has delivered the results I need for every-day coverage. As far as effectiveness, I’d give it 4 stars. However, my 5 star rating is considering the bargain of a price that this comes at.The most important thing for me when it comes to foundations (or other makeup), is how healthy it is for the skin. I fall asleep with makeup pretty frequently, and most brands/products will leave my face incredibly dry, parched, and jacked up the next morning. This Misscha BB cream is light enough that I can fall asleep in it at least 1-2 times a week without affecting my skin so much. (Affecting, effecting, whatever. Lol. I can never get it right but you know what I mean.)Most importantly, I personally find that almost all foundations/powders on the market tend to leave deposits of some sort in my pores. I’ve been told I have a bright complexion- and I try my best to keep it clean and even looking naturally. (Not with heavy makeup.) I’ve tried many other foundations, including Laura Mercier, MAC, Chanel, YSL, Guerlain, or any other brand sold in department stores. (Because I used to work for Neiman Marcus cosmetics.) And I noticed that my skin would look great, even flawless, when wearing the makeup… but without it, my naked skin looked terrible and uneven. (Like the girls in the transformation videos/clips.) It’s like the foundation left paint deposits in my skin that could not get cleaned out. I would have to exfoliate and masque quite a bit for my skin to return to its even, and clean slate.So then I stopped looking for a “flawless finish” foundation, and started looking for a more healthier alternative for everyday. I still wanted the nice, even, “finished” look…. But something breathable… that lets your natural skin underneath shine through. I realized that if I wanted “flawless”, it would only be for special occasions because I’d have to work on getting my skin to recover from the “paint”.So yeah… that’s just a long, drawn out way of explaining why I like this Misscha BB Cream/foundation. It’s not perfect. And if you need heavier coverage, this is not for you…. But it’s a great, light/sheer coverage foundation for everyday. (I will say that a tiny black vein spot on my lower cheek still shows through… as well as some of my Sun/Age spots… but it still hides it pretty well, especially with blush or bronzer on.)Also just a tip for those who believe they need heavy coverage…. Maybe you can also try letting your skin purge out some of the deposits in your skin. Clean, exfoliate, and detoxify the skin a while, and you’ll probably find that your complexion is cleaner and brighter than you ever thought… and maybe the heavier foundations aren’t as healthy, or necessary. Idk. Just a thought.Note: I use #25 and #27, depending on if I have a tan or no tan. (Compared to Laura Mercier Natural Beige, I THINK 25 warm beige might be closer.)

This was my first time hearing about and using Missha. I’ve spent thousands of dollars on high-end brands, only to be disappointed. At different counters, beauty reps kept recommending different brands—three different people at Nordstrom suggested La Mer, La Prairie, Lancôme, Dior, Giorgio Armani, and even The History of Whoo, another Korean brand. It was frustrating.I decided to do my own research and came across Missha. Given the affordable price, I decided to try one of each kind and shade. As an Asian, I chose shades 23, 25, and 27. I found that mixing 23 and 25 works best for my winter skin tone. You may need to blend shades to find your perfect match. I’ve noticed that my skin tone is more pinkish in winter and more tanned in summer, which might explain why Sephora and Nordstrom reps kept recommending different brands and shades.This BB cream provides full coverage with a slightly greasy but radiant finish. It doesn’t feel heavy, and my skin ends up looking like a K-drama porcelain complexion. I use the BB Boomer primer first, followed by the BB tinted moisturizer. I’ll test it again tomorrow to see how well it holds up throughout the day. I also ordered the pressed powder and glow spray—not sure which one is giving that beautiful iridescent look.For the price, I’d say grab a few shades and mix your own for the perfect match!

Okay, to preface, I do makeup for events as a side hobby, & let me say… I wake up TOO early for work to be doing a full face of makeup on myself, so I usually will put on BB cream & some powder like the good ole middle school days, just to give me some color . I have tried a BUNCH of BB creams that have been subpar & I never really cared until recently when I noticed the previous BB creams I’ve been using just haven’t been cutting it anymore . They seem to fade away by the end of the day . I found this BB cream & I am IN LOVE ! I used it for the first time this morning & put a little powder over it & it looks like I’m wearing actual foundation but with a smooth, light texture ! It went on like moisturizer & doesn’t feel heavy or make my face feel dry ! For something quick, to give you some color, I’d 100% recommend this BB cream ! This is going to be my new go-to for work or an “on the go” look . It’s bigger than I expected & definitely works better than I expected . It’s a tad darker than my neck, BUT it’s not horrible . This stuff is like magic ! BUY IT !

I like this because it is a South Korean brand, and I have more confidence as an Asian woman in a brand that would know my skin type. Since it's made in SK and even has an established targeted market demographic for Asians, I use this as my go-to BB cream. It has SPF, which is important to me in makeup, but it has a weird odd number at 42 SPF. I say weird because SPF id usually a whole number, at intervals of 5's. Anyway, it provides enough coverage to wear on its own if you don't like a full face of foundation. It's also blend-able if you do want to do a full face. If your skin prep is good, even the cheapest makeup won't cake up and look bad.
