Missha Perfect Cover BB cream #23 Natural beige review

Have you heard about BB cream?
What is BB cream?
Why Asian women crazy about it?


BB cream or also known as Blemish Balm cream is among Asia's hottest beauty product right now.

Dermatologist use it to help laser surgery patients protect, smoothe and regenerate their highly sensitive skin while also providing good coverage for post-laser scars and redness.It also serves as sunblock, moisturizer, primer,concealer, foundation,anti-wrinkle,has healing properties and skin-lightening benefits.

After searching and reading more reviews about BB creams. I immediately turn on my computer and look online. Many Korean cosmetic companies offer different varieties of BB cream. I have no idea what brand should i use first. I have sensitive skin, so I'm very picky when it comes to cosmetics.


One brand got my attention, Missha Perfect Cover BB cream. One of the best seller BB cream last 2009. I ask my boyfriend to buy it for me as a birthday present(2012) :) He bought the BB cream online( Articulos de Fabulouso) I think it cost Php800(sale price) for 50ml (the biggest size), not bad :). They have shade 21-light beige and shade23-natural beige.

Product info:

The package

A shiny box, upper color is  maroon and the lower part is gold. This is the box for 20ml, good for busy gals which you can bring it anywhere. Unfortunately, I already disposed the box for 50ml.

The 50ml has pump bottle dispenser, easy to use and very hygienic. If you're not sure about the BB cream better to buy the 20ml its a squeeze bottle,  which is great to test how it will work on your skin.

Shade and Coverage

I got the shade 23- natural beige.When I applied it in my face using a sponge, it easily blend and had a natural looking coverage while moisturizing the skin. it's a little bit oily but i think that's the moisturizing effect and that's fine for me. It's better to use a sponge rather than your hand because of thick consistency of the liquid, better to start in small amount and just add to get the desire coverage. It will last for about 5-6hours in a cool environment and less than 5 hours for warm environment.

 Humidity

Here in Philippines the weather is HOT ,so the BB cream oxidize easily. Not Only that, If you are acidic the BB cream or any foundation can lead to oxidation. It happens when the oils in your skin or foundation is interfering with the pigments, causing the color to intensify and turn orange, or in some cases, a shade or two darker. I'm unlucky on this part,because I'm acidic and it's to late to know that :'( But don't worry gals you still have a choice whether pick the lighter shade; after an hour you will have the perfect shade, use a primer it can act as barrier or stay in cool or air condition place :).

This is the first BB cream I tried,it work well on my skin. But for me, I don't use it everyday because I'm acidic and it oxidize easily. Maybe soon I will try the lighter shade.The positive points about this BB cream is the SPF42, which is good enough to protect your skin in UV and prevent skin diseases.
