I finished my NARS Sheer Glow which I hated, so I'm looking for a new foundation.
Sadly, I just moved from the 4th largest city in the United States to a small town where we have NO Sephora, NO MAC (not even a MAC counter in a department store), and NO Ulta! I'm doing a write-up on BB Creams for work, so I decided to try one out for awhile:
I am wearing Missha M Perfect Cover BB Cream No. 31 in natural daylight, no flash.
Now I am around NC37-42 in MAC, so basically every other BB cream has been way too white for me. This one matches very nicely though and it's actually even a tad darker than my actual skin tone, so it looks quite nice! I bought it off of ebay for less than $25.
Missha M Perfect Cover BB Cream No. 31
COVERAGE : You can still see some acne scars on me unless I take a sponge and pat a little extra foundation over them, so I would classify this as sheer to medium.
FEEL : My skin is quite oily in the T-zone, but when I wear this, I get little crease lines in my forehead and laugh lines around my mouth, so I would say it is pretty drying.
WEAR : Average, probably 4-5 hours before it starts to wear off.

SMELL : The smell is a strong, rose-perfume scent. It actually reminds me a lot of the smell of Guerlain products. I personally love the it; I think it smells like a glamorous woman, but if you don't like scented products or are sensitive to perfumed products, be forewarned!
ACNE : I have had absolutely no breakouts whatsoever, so I am glad about that!
HEALING/WHITENING: I haven't really noticed any "whitening" but that's really not something I'm trying to do, so I haven't been paying attention to that aspect. In terms of "skin healing", I haven't witnessed anything newsworthy, but it does feel very soothing to put this on.

The photo above was taken with flash, and there is no white cast on my face from the sunscreen (SPF42) in it. I actually think it looks quite nice under flash, so that makes me happy!

The last photo is a close-up. You can see the sheerness of the foundation from the little acne spot on my forehead, and you can also see how drying it is- the lines under my eyes are somewhat accentuated.
OVERALL : It is a nice product that I enjoy using on a daily basis, but I wouldn't wear it for a special occasion when I really wanted to look nice nor would I consider this a holy grail. I would repurchase it though because of the price, color, SPF and non-irritation factor!

Hello, girlie!
Seeing as we're the same shade in MAC, I decided to have a look at Bobbi Brown, I think I'm in shade Warm Natural, it's slightly darker but I do love the colour, it's so warm and it's yellow based. And there is always online shopping :P xx
I have to agree with you on this BB cream. It's nice but not holy grail material. The wear is not long on this at all! You however look lovely ^^
This is the first I have heard of BB cream, it looks great on you, does it come in shades for african american skin tones??
It does look good on you. Your skin looks so nice and even. It's surprising that it's drying because it actually has that glowy look. I wonder if it would help to wear a little extra moisturizer in the areas it's drying on? Or to use a heavier moisturizer than you are used to?
Which ebay seller did oyu get this from ? ;-)
Thanks !
i really love your blog! im happy i found it :) its hard to find blogs with people of the same EXACT skintone as me haha
it luks too drying and i for one wont be comfy using this
Hello! I'm from Canada and it's a hell of a pain trying to get a hold of this shade. We have many independant distributors of Missha brand, but none actually have #31. I looked all over eBay and Amazon for months and it doesn't seem to be back in stock. eBay lists #31 as a restricted item apparently as well.
If anyone knows a seller that can ship to Canada, it would be a great help! :)
