Probably one of the most popular BB creams in the market today is the Missha M Perfect Cover. Luckily, Missha has a website available to those in the US. yay!
Product Info taken from the website: "Blemish Balm, also called BB Cream, is known to have been formulated as an after-treatment cream to help patients who have gone through laser skin surgery to soothe and regenerate the skin.
The M Perfect Cover BB Cream gives an even and natural-looking coverage with the soothing, moisturising properties of a cream. It is suitable for all skin types including acne-prone skin, and can be used as a makeup base or foundation. "
Info on the front tube: "Missha M... offers a novel skincare concept with BB cream, which lightens skin tone by healing visible wrinkles and blemishes with excellent skin-cover ability, and prevents skin aging through effective whitening and anti-wrinkle properties."
There are 5 shades available: #13 Milky/Bright Beige, #21 light beige, #23 Natural Beige, #27 Honey Beige, and #31 Golden Beige. So far, this is the only BB cream that I know of that offers more than 1 shade.
I have no idea why I didn't check this but I meant to order #23 in Natural Beige, but only after I received this that I noticed I ordered #13 Milky Beige instead. I should've checked it.. whyyyy!!!?
RP: 29.99 for 50 ml
It looks SOOOOO pale!!
*hits my self*
*sigh*
Shade #13 has a pink undertone, and I dont know if it is because #13 is too light for me but after oxidizing it looks very highlighter-ish to me, my skin has this weird too glowy/shiny look.
Consistency is between a liquid and cream
easy to apply (I apply my BB creams with a patting motion)
Coverage is light
Coverage is probably buildable, but one application already felt heavy, and emphasized my dry spots. BB creams have a tendency to look unnatural upon application but oxidizes to a natural finish. Unfortunately, this looked and felt unnatural even after oxidization. (Even with the other shades. I have the deluxe sampler)
Note: I'm doing the review not just based on shade #13, but a mixture of #13 and #31 for my color match. Swatches of the others will be posted soon.
PROS:
-> SPF 42
-> Whitens
-> Skin evens out
-> Easy to apply
-> Tube container, Pump
-> Last all day
CONS:
-> Feels thick
-> Looks unnatural
-> Ascentuates dry spots
-> does not fully cover
-> After using for a week, pimples showed up around my jawline :O
Looking around online, there are plenty of people that like this product. I want to like this but no... not for me.
*I have the BB Deluxe Sampler which I will swatch and post soon*
Note:
*there is a holiday promotion now 30% off for the BB cream, and the Deluxe set for $21.99 instead of $39.99.
*New sign ups will also receive the M perfect cover BB cream in shade #21 for free. (just pay shipping)
*Missha Brand is cruelty free.

Ahhh.. sorry I forgot to mention that I have 2 more shades of this, and it matches me. = . = I shall update.
it really looks unnatural...or maybe the shade is not a match to your skin tone..
Aww I'm sorry to hear you bought the wrong color. I actually thought about getting the #13, but I'm kinda glad I chose 21 instead. I think 13 would have been too light even for me. Great review though! :)
it is very light and has a pink undertone. I'll try to post the other shade swatches soon.
They sell that BB cream at my work and it sells out like crazy! It's really nice I love it thanks for sharing cutie pie!
xox
Me too! I envy those who luvs this cream so much as it gives them nice finish..but not for me, it breaks me out ...like madly...tsk...
yea... looking at photos online it looks perfect on them. such a shame it gives us breakouts :(
The other type works fine for me though!
wish there's an asian market near here (*￣m￣)
