I love Korean makeup and more Korean brands are now selling face makeup for darker and more tan skin tones. There are more and more Korean makeup brands being sold in Target now and there is a current trend in Korea towards tanning. One of the Korean brands that have embraced darker shades is Missha, so I will be reviewing Missha’s Perfect Cover BB Cream today.

The Missha Perfect Cover BB cream is healthier for your skin since it contains:

Rosemary Extract
Chamomile Extract
Hyaluronic Acid
Ceramide
Adenosine
Caviar Extract
Jojoba Seed Oil
Hydrolyzed Collagen
Matricaria Flower Extract
Algae Extract
Gatuline RC Extracted From Beech Bud

Cost: $8 – $10 💰

This BB cream has a perfume scent.

The Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream has SPF 42 PA+++.

The amount of product you get with this BB cream is 50 ml.

The Missha Perfect Cover BB cream comes in six shades

A. Honey Beige

B. Natural Beige

C. Light Beige

D. Warm Beige

E. Caramel Beige

F. Golden Beige

I got the darkest shade of this BB cream. Here are swatches of Missha’s Perfect Cover BB Cream in the darkest shade Golden Beige

Review and Wear Test

This BB cream is supposed to block UV rays and make the skin look smoother and more flawless.

Heaviness

While wearing this BB cream, it did feel light on my skin; it was not heavy. It felt like there was nothing on my skin. In photos though, this BB cream does appear to look thick. Unfortunately, this BB cream looks like a mask on my tan brown skin despite being the darkest shade, so dark for Korean brands is pretty light-skinned.

Shade and Flashback

This BB cream temporarily makes the skin look whiter and lighter, so if you are into skin lightening like many Asian cultures are, then you will like this aspect of this BB cream.

When you take pictures with a flash, there is flashback while wearing this BB cream, so this BB cream will look very white on the skin when taking pictures. If you are not taking pictures and you are in normal lighting, then this BB cream does blend in a bit better to match your skin tone.

Coverage

This BB cream has really good coverage. It has medium coverage, but it is buildable, so if you build it up, you can get close to full coverage. Also, since this BB cream does temporarily lighten and whiten the skin while you are wearing it, it does cover dark circles pretty well.

Blending

This BB cream does blend well into the skin; I did not need to set this BB cream with powder. However, you have to be very careful to make sure that you cover every inch of skin; otherwise, you will have patches where your real skin color shows through. This will look very odd and out of place in photos. I circled this in the photos that you will see shortly so that you can see how this looks.

Lines

This BB cream did settle into the lines underneath my eyes quite a bit, so I recommend keeping this BB cream away from the undereye area and any area with a lot of lines.

Final Thoughts

Pros: The Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream does cover really well and it does reduce the appearance of dark circles. The coverage for this BB cream is so good that you can wear it by itself in place of foundation.

Cons: There are a few obvious downsides to this BB cream. When taking pictures, because there is a lot of flashback and a white cast, it can look too white on the skin and very mask-like if you are tan. So, this BB cream is more for people with lighter skin tones and very slight tans. Due to the whiteness of this BB cream, I do not feel that this BB cream is for most women of color. You would have to be lighter, such as a light caramel or toffee skin tone like mine.

Finally, this BB cream did settle into the lines underneath my eyes and into my smile lines, so when wearing this BB cream, you should keep it away from the undereye area. Thus, I also do not recommend this BB cream for older, more mature skin.

Personally, I feel that my skin looks better without this BB cream, so this BB cream is just not for me. Have you tried any of the Missha BB Creams? What did you think of them?

Every culture has its own unique beauty, but one thing that all of them have in common is that healthy is always beautiful. But health is not constant or instant in life. Health is part of the life journey that we are all on until our time is up.

Later, I studied health and psychology at The University of Maryland University College. After college, I continued following medical breakthroughs around the world, from India to the UK. I soon realized that there was so much health knowledge out there, but so few people had access to it. Thus, I turned to writing.
