Missha BB Cream SPF20.......A Review

Hello ladies,

I was been given 2 samples of the Missha BB Cream with SPF20 during last winter. I used one of the samples but didn't feel ready to review it. Now after trying more high end foundations I feel more able to give my true opinion on this tinted moisturizer.

As you can see the package is nice and compact, easy to carry around either in your handbag or travel beauty kit. The bottle says that this is a cream which contains 7 essential vitamin complexes derived from natural ingredients. It is more than a tinted cream as it aims at moisturizing the skin while giving it a more even skin tone and also protecting it from UV as it has SPF20 in it.

I believe the above description is absolutely correct. This tinted cream feels amazing on my skin. It is really moisturizing. It has a very subtle scent so doesn't bother me at all and doesn't water my eyes and nose either. When I apply it, my skin looks natural just more even. So it does help you achieve a more even skin tone.

It doesn't however cover my redness but just minimizes it a little. I apply it on top of my Body Shop Skin Primer Matte It and then powder it with Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder. And I must say that this is the only tinted moisturizer I have tried which doesn't make my skin look dehydrated or cakey even after applying the powder. I believe it is due to the fact that it is very moisturizing and that's exactly what my skin needs to look great.

This product only comes in one shade. When I squeeze the product out of the sample it comes pretty dark almost taupy coloured. But then once I blend it in my skin it looks almost transparent and matches my skin tone nicely.

Overall I think that the Missha BB Cream with SPF20 is:

1. A very good tinted moisturizer. I wouldn't call it a foundation as it is transparent and has almost no coverage.
2. This product is great for women who want to even out their skin while looking natural. It is good for those who need high coverage all over their face.
3. To achieve more coverage I would suggest covering any redness and blemishes with a concealer and then applying this tinted moisturizer to even out the skin.
4. I would suggest to use a primer because it helps the BB cream hold longer onto your skin.
5. Using a pressed powder with this BB cream can help you achieve slightly more coverage and a more polished look.

If you (like me), have problems with dehydrated skin which can look cakey and flakey with foundation on, especially after powder and after several hours have passed, I think this is the right product to use for every day when you just need to look good and natural without too much coverage. So yes I would buy this product especially since it only costs about 12 euros. But I am also looking forward to try the other moisturizing foundations by Missha.
