Product Information

The packaging and design for this BB was extremely mature, but Missha doesn't cater to a younger audience alone (like Etude House does) so it was a bit expected. Either way, I had high hopes for this BB because I've heard good results for its amazing coverage!

After using this BB for nearly a week, I have to admit I'm not a big fan of it! I bought it mostly for the coverage and the coverage was the most disappointing part. It's not a bad BB cream, but it's all over mediocre. Nothing really wow'd me though nothing really made me hate it either. The coverage was okay. The oil control was okay. Everything was just kind of okay. 

I expected something better from a product with a name like "Perfect Cover" and although it gave my face a nice, sleek finish, it hardly hid my under eye circles or the majority of redness from my pimples. It also didn't really fill in my pores around my nose which is quite disappointing considering the Etude House CC Cream (a mere, sheer coverage CC cream!) could do that, but a BB cream with a name like "Perfect Cover" couldn't. Do I have too high of an expectation? >.< Am I just really angry about their name choice? I don't know. Maybe~ lol. 

The description also notes that using a BB boomer would heighten the results of this BB cream. I looked it up and a BB boomer is basically a primer made specifically for BB creams to give better texture, longer lasting etc. Frankly, I don't think a BB boomer would have made me like this BB cream that much more so to that, I will pass. 

Oil Test:

Although it does look like the Perfect Cover BB Cream has a lot of oil, it really wasn't the case. Probably the thing I liked the most about this BB was its oil control. My face stayed relatively oil free even after wearing this BB cream for over 5 hours.

This BB does have a lightweight feel on my face after application and I like that it feels natural and doesn't weigh my face down and make me feel like I have heavy makeup on.



Likes:
  Lightweight after application

Dislikes:

  Doesn't completely fill in pores

Final Verdict: Overall I give this BB Cream 3.5! It's definitely not an exciting item for me; it's just an average BB Cream and personally average isn't enough for me to re-purchase. Since there are lots of people who seemed to have tried this BB and liked it because of it's amazing coverage for acne & acne scars, do feel free to try it out regardless of my review of it here. haha However I would recommend purchasing the smaller size (at 20ml) instead of the 50ml version I have on here (It's also a lot cheaper so you don't have to feel like you're committing to something you might not like). You can purchase 20ml version here & 50ml version here!

Product Information

This BB has a SPF of 30 which I think is pretty average/fair for a BB Cream, but what's interesting about it is that it's not a dewy finish (like I find most BB's) but a matte finish (which I like!)

So the Before/After pictures are awful! I have to apologize! It was taken under same lighting, same camera settings, but somehow there isn't that much of a difference. Obviously there are less flaws in the After photo, but am I the only one who thinks my skin looks whiter in the Before picture???

Anyways, that's not the case at all! My skin is definitely whiter after I apply the BB Cream and it's whitening effect is really good!

Blending was kind of meh~ It doesn't spread across your face like normal BB's or Foundation do. It's not as fluid if that makes sense. I found blending better if I apply CC Cream underneath, but WITH NO POWDER, the CC eventually made me a bit oily after a couple of hours which made this BB cakey on my face!

Another thing that I found was that after putting this BB on, anything liquid-y on top will make my face cakey looking. Like, applying cream based eye shadow! Or spraying some sort of makeup setting mist, or refreshing/moisturizing mist.


Oil Test:


I was actually SUPER surprised with the results because this BB did NOT feel oily at all! I usually set my BB/foundation with powder, but this BB already gave a really lovely matte finish and I wanted to test out its oil control, so I went without any powder or CC cream for one day.

I felt fresh and oil free for most of my day! Around the 8 hour range, I started getting a bit of oil around my nose, and then the BB went a bit cakey in that area, but 8 hours on a long, hot summer day is a feat! Plus, I work in a greasy environment haha

Anyways, super surprising there's so much oil and only after one hour!


Likes:
  Pretty matte finish
  Whitening/Anti-darkening
  Anti-wrinkle
  SPF 30 PA++
  Good oil control
  Light floral scent

Dislikes:
  Accentuates flaky skin
  Gets cakey with liquid-ish makeup/things
  I found the coverage only mediocre
  Application/Blending not very fluid

Final Thought: Overall I think this BB Cream is just kind of average. I think it's really good for summer because of the oil control, but it's not the right BB for me because I have dry spots on my face and this BB really plays it up. I also kind of find it complicated because it gets cakey if I use the wrong types of makeup, or if I touch up imperfections with concealer or something, it gets a bit cakey-ish looking on that spot. That's just frustrating to me. Needless to say, I probably won't repurchase this, but it's still a neat BB to have around just because of its beautiful matte finish.


Stay Lovely,
