Review: Missha M Perfect Cover BB Cream

I first heard of the BB Cream about 4 or 5 years ago on tele in Japan, and to be honest I was skeptical - but when it started taking major brands by storm, I thought I wanted to give it a try but never really knew which brands to go for! There are now so many of them, and while there are brands I trust that do BB Creams (MAC, Maybelline, etc.,) I wasn't sure they really had it down like the Korean brands that started the trend - I was quite lost and so never really bothered!

So when BBCosmetics UK contacted me about trying one of their BB Creams in stock, I was more than willing, especially when the lovely Runlin offered to help me choose one perfect for me! I chose the Missha M Perfect Cover BB Cream, because it seemed to have the qualities I wanted, including being affordable (£19.99), having relatively higher coverage and a very high SPF (42). From the description on the website, I also chose it because it didn't claim anti-aging properties but it seems on the bottle it does.. which was my only concern with the site itself.

What exactly is a BB Cream, and how is it different from a foundation?

I think that was my biggest question. The main difference is that BB Creams were originally used for those recovering from laser skin treatment, so there are healing properties for scars and skin in general, and it acts as a barrier, which makes BB Creams almost a combination of skincare and cosmetics. You can read more about it here :)

This page also explains the term "whitening" on BB Cream labels - it's kind of an error on the brand's part because what they really mean is that it "brightens" the skin by healing sunspots and scars, but chooses to use the term "whitening" as lighter skin is thought to be more desirable in many parts of Asia. 

So worry not - because I'm thoroughly medium skin toned, I love my tan, and the Missha M Perfect Cover is still a 100% a-go-go for me :)

Packaging:

I love the packaging. It's super well thought out and practical in the sense that it's hygienic with a pump (it really is bizarre that many brands choose to overlook the massive demand for pumps!), but also accommodates the consumer in the sense that you can squeeze the last bits out, or even cut the tube and depot it so you can use the last drops - love it! Very consumer friendly :) The pump did malfunction for about two uses recently, but it seems to be back on form :P

(Top: regular foundation, Bottom: Missha M Perfect Cover BB Cream)

Shade & Application:

As you can see from the picture above, the Missha M Perfect Cover is grey like many other BB Creams, and it will remain to be grey for about 15 to 20 minutes after application, but it then adapts to your skin colour. For those of you who rush out of the door in the morning, this may be a problem - however, I've found it's nothing a bit of powder can't help for the time being.

Unlike other BB Creams, there are different shades available for the Missha M Perfect Cover which I think makes this particular BB Cream more approachable for those of us who are new to the idea - it definitely came as a relief for me, as wrong shades are a nightmare! My shade is 23, which I would recommend for anyone between NC25-35 and the other on the BBCosmetics UK website is 21. However, there are others available, and the ones I've heard of are 13, 27 and 31.

As for this shade-adapting capability in general, apparently it's because BB Creams seep into your skin - I find this a bit strange and scarily intrusive. However, I haven't felt any consequences of it in the Missha M Perfect Cover - the product is not hard to get off, and my skin hasn't broken out. I still do find the thought a bit scary though!

As far application goes, this is meant to be applied by patting motions with your fingers, which means it again takes a bit more time to make sure there are no visible lines, and that it's sufficiently set in so it can adjust to your skintone. So again, not the best for those who have busy mornings!

However, here is the proof that it does adapt :) It goes from this..

..to this!

Formula:

The finish, if you take the time to pat it in, is incredible - a very natural, not too dewy, not too matte finish, with a light-medium coverage that gives you a pretty bare look! It's really a step up from a tinted moisturizer - more coverage and a similar finish of skin showing through - and a step down from a natural-finish foundation, which I feel tends to be more semi-matte and medium coverage. I still like to use concealer with this, but I don't think powder is a must, as oil control is decent. The consistency is thick but it doesn't translate on to the face as full-coverage nor heavy.

For me the finish is ideal for errand days, days at the gym, or playing sports - days where you're not meant to wear make up but you wanna look presentable, however a tinted moisturizer wont cut it :P

The staying power is alright, but as you can see above, after 5-6 hours, my forehead is just a teeny bit darker, which shows that its worn away a bit as my forehead is naturally darker than the rest of my face. However, this was worn through heat and humidity, one blot and no touch-ups so I'd say it wears away nicely with better-than-average staying power :)

The point that makes me reach for this BB Cream over others is the SPF - when I know I'll be outside running errands, I will always reach for this because of the SPF!

I have noticed some of my scars disappearing recently but I'm not 100% sure I can credit it all to this, as I've also changed my skincare routine.

So yes, I love the Missha M Perfect Cover BB Cream, and I hope to always have it in my collection - it's one that I'll turn to on very casual days when I need a bit more coverage than a tinted moisturizer, but a natural foundation may be a bit much. It IS a bit of a inbetween/picky product, so that's why I say it's nice to have in my collection - maybe not a must, but very handy :)

Personally I'd recommend this BB Cream to anyone, especially to newcomers because..

- It has several shades
- Suitable for sensitive, dry, combination or oily skintypes
- Bit of a bargain at £19.99 as you get 50mL unlike most foundations that give you 30mL and I rarely use a full pump!

And in general, it's..

- Inbetween a tinted moisturizer and natural foundations

- Natural finish

- Light-medium coverage

- Decent oil control

- High SPF

- Good lasting power
- Healing properties

The only negative, which may be a killer for some, is that it takes more time than other face base products because of the application and shade-adjusting!

Hope this cleared up a bit about BB Creams in general too, and if you're up for trying one yourself, BB Cosmetics UK has a great selection of BB Creams for you to browse through :) As I was really impressed by this product, I hope to stop by the Missha shop in Tokyo some time soon to check out their other products!

What are some of your Missha recommendations?

Have you tried the Missha M Perfect Cover? :)

Sorry for the long review, I honestly can't help myself :P

Skin79 Intense Classic Balm SPF 20 PA++

A reader friend reminded me that I haven't reviewed that many BB creams recently, and asked if I have stopped using them. Yes, I have not used BB creams for the last two weeks, but it was because I was trying out a skincare line, which interestingly asked its users to only stick to a few very basic products within the line for the first 4 to 6 weeks of use, and begged that one use no facial makeup (but eyes and brows and lips and blush are okay) for the first 6 weeks, so that you may experience the full effects sooner. I was hooked on this skincare line by my Korean derm, who loves all natural lines with minimum ingredients and no preservatives, and I won't say anything more about this line until I've finished my 6 weeks, and can give you a better idea. :P

Anyhow, that is why I have not used BB creams in two weeks and forgot to review them. However, my suitcase is packed with BB creams I bought in Korea, and this is just another BB cream I could not resist picking up at the skin79 counter. 

To be fair, I was somewhat acquitanted with this BB cream since I bought it from Korea almost a year ago, and planned on using it. However, my young teenage cousin (male) came to visit and was so sick of his acne issue so that no girls would talk to him. He snatched the most masculine looking BB cream on my vanity and used it. He liked it so much that I gave it to him. So this is actually the first time I'm trying this BB cream on myself. 

So enough of my rambling and on to the actual review. :)

Coverage: Medium. Quite blendable, but not as blendable, as some BB creams, such as the Skin79 Diamond Total BB Cream

Oil-control: The oil control is not bad. It seems to last through the day, even though I did seem to oil up on my nose by afternoon. 

Color: This has a sort of yellow undertone that would look quite flattering on most people, especially on photos. I feel it would be good for N15 to N35. 

Finish: Very matte look, which is perhaps why my little cousin/brother liked it so much. It looks rather perfect on a guy since it's matte, so it does not seem as if he is wearing something or doing any skincare (which most Asian guys, I learnt don't like). I would  have liked the finish to be a little more glowy for myself. My natural complexion gave off more glow than this BB cream did. 

Special properties: Protecting, slightly moisturizing, evens out skin tone. The SPF is not high enough for me, which is why I'm going to give it too my cousin too after using it for one week. 

I don't find this to have any specific healing properties even though it does not cause more problems for me. However, my cousin says it makes his pimples heal slightly faster. I suppose every BB cream is different for different people. 

Overall: Overall, I think this is a very good and basic BB cream, like the name implies. It does not have too many frills and does not claim many properties, but it does do very well as a basic BB cream. This makes this BB cream so perfect for guys. And perhaps for this very reason, I do not like this BB cream as much as many others. It's true that I don't rely on a BB cream for skincare capabilities, and don't really think a BB cream is superior just because it claims to have diamonds, gold or caviar in it. However, the finish of this BB cream is too matte for me, and it lacks enough SPF protection factor (which I don't rely on anyway since I always try to use sunscreen with BB creams, but it's still helpful to have a BB cream with good enough SPF just in case I'm in a hurry in the mornings). 

Skin79 Super Plus BB Cream VIP Gold Review

Many people have trouble distinguishing this BB cream from the VIP pink BB cream. They are after all so similar, with almost the same description, the same bottle structure, except for the color. I couldn't find that much difference between the two BB creams either, except for one thing. I discovered that this BB cream just might be the Hot Pink's twin sister for different skin types.

Coverage: The Coverage is pretty good. I'd say sheer medium, and I don't think it's really layer-able. I mean you can layer it without much cosmetic difficulty, but it oils up really quickly if you apply more than one layer.  It seems to give skin a smooth texture and minimize pores. The whitening effect is not as obvious as the Hot Pink's, but still noticeable. Unlike the hot pink, which I said tend to make you look as if you have cool skintone, this one doesn't disguise undertone. It just makes you a little bit whiter, which is a natural look that many of my coworkers prefer. I personally don't need much more whitening on my skin, since I'm pale enough, but I don't mind the temporary whitening power. 

Finish: The finish is really natural and pretty dewy. I really like the look since it seems to either fill in or cover pores, which is great. If you apply too much, it can be shiny. 

Oil Control: The oil control is not too great. I think this BB cream was made for dry skin, which makes sense for the oil control to be minimal. I found this BB cream very moisturizing. My coworker said that she can wear this BB cream in the morning without moisturizer in a pinch, and not feel dried out throughout the day. It tried doing this once, and I quite agree. however, I'm not a huge advocate of dropping skincare products just because the BB cream is moisturizing enough. 

Spreadability: This is a milky texture, but more creamy than the Hot Pink. Very spreadable, but takes a little longer to blend because of the milky texture (you have to rub as it forms a film over your skin). I found that using smaller quantities help a lot in reducing the time I have to spend spreading it, but it also reduces coverage. 

Skin Benefits: I've started to not expect much skin benefits out of BB cream, since I love my skincare anyway. This BB cream doesn't seem to have any too obvious skincare benefits except for great moisturization, but I think it at least doesn't harm skin (which is more than most foundations can say. My Laneige foundation doesn't give me any troubles, but I always wear my Laneige base with it which should cut down on the trouble foundation gives). 

General comments: This is a pretty good BB cream, with a great smoothing ability. It is definitely richer than the Hot Pink BB cream, but in other aspects pretty much identical. This one contains quite a lot of supposedly beneficial ingredients, such as caviar, but I wouldn't really count on it. Caviar may have great benefits when ingested, but it may also clog skin when applied topically (as well as irritations for people who are sensitive to marine products). For the price, I don't really think there would be a significant amount of caviar. I have learnt that the wonder ingredient in BB creams is often arbutin, which ironically, people find quite controversial. 

This is in my opinion, the twin to the Hot pink BB cream, for drier and maturer skin. 

P.S. Sorry I haven't been posting daily (as I wanted to do). I'm still stuck in Korea and the life is hectic here. 

Skin79 Super Plus BB Cream Hot Pink Triple Functions Review

As I mentioned before, since I'm staying in Korea, I might as well try out some other BB creams. This is just another BB cream sample I picked up at the Skin79 counter with my purchase. I actually used this before for two weeks, but I wanted to get a sample to refresh my memory before I do the review (I actually tried a total of 60ish BB creams before :P) I didn't really expect much out of it. Skin79 is a good brand, so I expected it to be safe, but it's targeted to teenagers and people in their 20s, so I didn't really expect anything too great either. I guess I was just curious since I liked skin79's diamond total BB cream, and wanted to try out the entire line-up to see if there is something better out there. Well, I wouldn't say this is my favorite BB cream, but it is much more than I expected

This BB cream, like most Korean BB creams (except for my beloved Laneige), promises quite a lot. On the bottle, this BB cream claims to be triple functioning (SPF+"wrinkle improvement"+whitening) while on the website this BB cream promises ten functions (Whitening+Wrinkle Improvement+Oil control+Moisturizing+Protection from the Environment+UV Protection+Perfection, which I assume means complexion perfection+skintone correction+skin adhesion+base makeup), which is quite a lot. In a nutshell, this BB cream is supposed to act as sunscreen, primer, foundation, as well as having some skincare benefits. 

A lot of people told me they steer clear from this BB cream because of the "wrinkle improvement" part since many people are young and don't have any wrinkles to improve. The SA told me that the wrinkle improvement part actually means anti-aging, and she secretly told me that one shouldn't rely on a BB cream to improve wrinkles, which I quite agree. I also don't really rely on this as a sunscreen, but that's just me...

Coverage: The Coverage is pretty good. I'd say sheer medium, and I don't think it's really layer-able (on my second layer, it becomes quite cakey). It seems to give skin a smooth texture and minimize pores. 

I've noticed that this BB cream has somewhat of a whitening effect after applied and tend to give people a cool undertone. I watched my coworker apply it, and she had quite warm skin tone before application, and her skintone became a delicate cream and roses complexion which is quite pretty. The BB cream isn't overly pink, and I think it gives a rather natural look. 

Finish: The finish is really natural and pretty dewy. I really like the look since it seems to either fill in or cover pores, which is great. It reminds me of the skin I get in the morning after plenty of sleep and lots of my beloved night cream. 

Oil Control: The oil control is better than I expected, though still mediocre for me. I got shine on my t-zone on the 6th hour, and a little oily on the 8th. However, after trying the Skin79 Lovely Girls, I was quite grateful that it isn't drying. :) 

Spreadability: This is more of a milky texture than a cream texture, so it's easy to apply, but needs more patting and blending than a more creamy BB cream. Not bad though. 

Skin Benefits: I've started to not expect much skin benefits out of BB cream, since I love my skincare anyway. This BB cream doesn't seem to have any too obvious skincare benefits, but I think it at least doesn't harm skin (which is more than most foundations can say. My Laneige foundation doesn't give me any troubles, but I always wear my Laneige base with it which should cut down on the trouble foundation gives). 

General comments: This is a pretty good BB cream, with a great smoothing ability. It seems like a pretty average BB cream, but if you think about it, it doesn't have any obvious faults that would make me never touch it again (which 70% of BB creams can't achieve) so...I'll wear this when my skin is a little dull or has bigger pores from lack of sleeping as it really gives perfect dewy skin (if you need more coverage, by all means use a concealer). The oil control is mediocre, and I don't blot or powder, but 8 hours is pretty acceptable, as I hate to wear makeup (to me is defined as anything with a tint + many many other products) too long anyway. I would not really advice using this as a makeup base since layering it makes it rather cakey. Great BB cream overall. 

Skin79 Lovely Girl BB Cream Review

Since I'm pretty much stuck in Korea for a while anyway, I decided to try out a few more BB creams, since the Korean counters are pretty generous with samples (when you buy another full sized product). So I went to the skin79 counter to buy another bottle of my beloved Diamond Total BB cream and asked for a few samples of a few other BB creams they carry. The samples are small, but since I only use a little BB cream anyway, each sample should last a week, which should be sufficient to do a review.

First off, this BB cream is designed for young girls between the ages of 17 to 22. I thought I barely fit into the age range, so I tried it. (lol, I'm not telling you my age, sorry). I can see how this BB cream would be targeted to the younger age range, because....

Coverage: The coverage is nothing to write home about. When layered, it is sheer medium at most. With the regular amount, you get sheer coverage. However, this seems to contain some light reflecting qualities, so that your imperfections are as clear when you take a photo or look in the mirror in the sunlight. 

The smoothing ability also seems quite good. The SA showed me that she has large pores on her nose, and after putting it on her nose, the pores are quite invisible. 

Finish: The finish is really natural, perhaps a little more glowy than my natural skin. I can see why this is targeted around young girls, since in some schools in Korea and China, girls aren't allowed to wear makeup. With this BB cream, it will be barely noticeable (or not at all) that you are wearing makeup. 

Oil Control: The oil control is really good like I expected. In Korea, most products that are targeted to young girls tend to have super oil control. The first day I wore this, I did my usual skincare, and three hours after putting this on, my cheeks actually felt dry. My T-zone stayed oil free until the 10th hour, which is pretty amazing, but I also sprayed a bit of makeup mist onto my cheeks since it felt so dry. 

Spreadability: This is needs a little rubbing to get it spread evenly, which I don't like, but if I don't wait for my moisturizer to dry, this seems pretty great. 

General comments: This is a pretty good BB cream for young girls, with a great smoothing ability. It looks really natural and the oil-control is superb (perhaps a little too much). It is less spreadable than I would have liked, but I think it is oil-free in order to be suitable for girls. I would really recommend it to girls who need a lot of oil control, and I think it will function great as a base if you need more coverage. 

Missha Shiny BB cream Review

Sorry if it seems as if I reviewed Missha exclusively in the past few days. I just realized that I had so much unreviewed Missha product that I tried and wanted to review, but eventually forgot about. This is perhaps due to the fact that I am a little biased towards Missha. I'm a little skeptical to most popular products, and the fact that my coworkers in Korea told me that Missha is not that respected a brand made me a little unwilling to try and review the products. But now that I tried it anyway, I should share the reviews with you. 

Now on to the BB cream. I always thought of this BB cream as the little sister to Missha Watery BB cream. I think it's funny that some bloggers love Watery and hate shiny, and it's the other way around with other bloggers. I think shiny functions just as well as watery, but it's definitely for different people. 

Coverage: This offers medium sheer coverage. The color is much lighter than Missha Watery. I'd say between N20 to N25?

Finish: This is probably why the BB cream is called Shiny, the finish is SO glowy. It felt as if you mixed an illuminator with your foundation. I rarely fell that anything is too glowy since I love a glow, but this is a little over the top for me, but of course, I love natural makeup, and too much glow looks unnatural. However, I found this is really good for brightening your face after a night of little sleep (which is something beauty conscious people like me aren't supposed to do...). It doesn't make your face look like a disco ball, but it just looks not very natural. The glow photographs badly but looks fabulous in videos. A Korean coworker joked that some Japanese actresses in adult videos like to use this BB cream on their face.....and some other places...I didn't verify if it's true, but I can imagine it working well. 

Oil Control: The oil control is mediocre, not too bad, just like Watery. Around 8 hours or so. 

Spreadability: This is very spreadable, a little thicker than Missha Watery, but not by much. 

General comments: This is a pretty good BB cream that I will keep but not use for everyday. It is ideal for a night out or when you need major brightening of your skin. This is one of the few kinds of base makeup that I consider inappropriate to use in professional situations, but I'm very conservative. :) 

Missha Real Complete BB Cream Review

This is a new Missha BB Cream that came out not too long ago, and I bought it the last time I was in Korea. I couldn't wait to share this with you, but I thought to be responsible, I should wait the requisite 1 month before reviewing it so as to give you a full review. First off, a little something about this BB cream. Missha originally marketed this as a upgrade/replacement of the very popular Missha Perfect Cover BB cream, which I reviewed several days ago. However, as the campaign progressed, they realized that Missha Perfect Cover's popularity was welcome, and they didn't want to fix what wasn't broken. Therefore, they now market it as their first luxe BB cream. It promised 12 hours of wear time and a lot of benefits to the skin (just general nourishment, nothing specific, which is what I hate most about ad campaigns, promising nothing too specific). 

Coverage: The coverage is very similar to the Missha Perfect Cover BB cream, but I think it's a little less than the perfect cover. If you applied a tiny amount, it can give you a good sheer coverage. This comes in three colors, the normal #21 and #23, and a lighter color. If you can't a BB cream light enough to suit you, try the lightest color of this product. The product claims that the coverage is buildable and can give you the max amount of coverage without looking unnatural. I think that while in terms of coverage, it is buildable and covers well, it's not like your max coverage natural looking foundation. 

Finish: This gives a matte finish that can turn chalky if over-applied. 

Oil Control: Is the oil control as good as it promises? I found it to be not too bad, but really just the same as Perfect Cover, around 8 to 10 hours without powder and blotting. 

Spreadability: This is very spreadable, a little creamy. 

General comments: This is a pretty decent BB cream, but I was let down because of all the big promises. The tube may seem very artistic to some, but to me, it's meh.. Also, I think it's horrible that it is priced so much higher in the US than in Korea. Yes, I am an economic major and I understand the whole concept of price discrimination being beneficial to both consumers and producers, but come on, the difference is too much to be fair. 

Missha Watery BB Cream Review

Hi, girls :) I'm going to Korea on the 25th, so as I was making my shopping list, I saw this BB cream lying in my vanity drawer. I was surprised that I had forgotten to share this gem of a BB cream with you! This is a BB cream that is highly controversial. It is either highly loved or hated by some BB creams gurus, I don't recall reading anyone saying it is just a so-so product, hehe. And I'm not going to start. I have a somewhat love and hate relationship with this product that is solved by my Laneige BB cream. Sound mysterious, doesn't it? Well, read on!

Coverage: This has medium coverage. I don't think it's layerable, but partly because of the color of this BB cream is quite dark, and to layer it would be too much for my N20 skin. I'd say the color is N30ish, but if you are lighter, it oxidizes in half an hour.  

Finish: This gives a very natural glow finish, that I think looks perfect anywhere except in pictures. :( In pictures, the glow seems to be magnified so that my camera won't focus on my face, and there is always a white spot on my cheeks when I turn on the flash, so it acts as if my cheeks were a reflective surface. :)

Oil Control: The oil control is pretty good/normal. It's hard to find a word for it because it lasts perfectly until the 8 hour mark, and deteriorate very rapidly after that. I'm not concerned of that because when I tried it, I always remove it at the 8 hour mark, because like some other bloggers said, this is not the best thing for sensitive skin. When I wash this after, my face is always a little red, and if I don't wash it off at the 8 hour mark, my face is much redder..

General comments: This is a very good BB cream, except for the color and sensitivity issues. The coverage and finish are both great. The SPF is mediocre but welcome. It is supposed to be very moisturizing for your skin. I'm not the best judge because I tend to rely on my moisturizer, so I can't tell if this adds moisture to your face. 

Spreadability: This is very spreadable. A little watery like the name says, but not runny at all.

Overall, a great product I would recommend for darker people and people with not so sensitive skin. (Mine isn't that sensitive, but oh well..) So why does Laneige BB cream solve the dilemma for me? Well, I kind of liked the finish and the watery consistency of it, but not the color and the sensitivity issues. I can get the same thing out of the Laneige BB cream, for a lot less risk. 

Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream Review

I've probably promised you this review for a month, and I am finally going to do it. This has the honor of being the most popular BB cream in the U.S., but not in Korea, because I hear the coverage is a little too heavy for that, but regardless, this is a good BB cream. To be honest, I first picked this up for a girl who asked me to CP it for her from Korea, and didn't think of getting it for myself despite its popularity because its coverage is supposed to be very heavy. Well, the girl who asked me to CP it didn't have money to pay me for 7 months and I thought I'd use it myself instead. I have been using this for 2 months now (not exclusively, even though I did use it exclusively in the name of research for 2 weeks).

Coverage: Very good coverage. A sheer layer gives you light medium, while a regular layer gives you a little more than medium coverage. The coverage is very buildable too, making it capable of acting as a full coverage BB cream if you layer it up. However, I've found that it doesn't last as long with many layers. This is most full coverage BB cream I've ever tried, and I've heard that some Koreans buy this as a concealer to use with other Missha BB creams. 

Finish: This gives a semi-matte glow finish. It's hard to describe. It's not as natural as your bare skin, but I think it tries to mimic it. I found that if you pat it in, it's a semi-matte finish, and if you rub it in (which I don't like to do), it gives you more glow. Weird isn't it? 

Oil Control: Oil control is pretty so-so. It lasts about 8 hours without powder and blotting. However, my readers tell me foundations and BB creams tend to last longer on me by about 2 hours or so, so it might last not quite as well on you. I can see shine on my nose by midday, and the corners of my nose are quite oily by the end of 8 hours. For this reason, I was really glad when the two weeks were up and I could stop using it. 

General comments: This is one of the BB creams that I don't like very much, but can't find a good reason to hate. I don't like it for its coverage and lack of oil control, and the weird, less than perfect finish. Yet, I imagine those very same qualities may make this a HG for someone else, as it had for my cousin. What I like is the SPF, which is 42 PA++. However, I find that I only use a small amount of this as I don't need that much coverage, so the SPF wouldn't protect me well enough. As for healing abilities, it improves some red marks, but not as dramatically as some other BB creams I've used. I've heard that this is more acne prone for some people than most other BB creams though. 

Spreadability: The spreadability is excellent. It doesn't create any drag on my skin, so that's good. :) 

Who I recommend this for: Someone who wants an almost natural finish with heavy coverage, and someone not very acne prone (although with BB creams, you really have to try it to know if it causes acne for you).
