Missha M Perfect Cover vs. Skin79 Hot Pink Upgrade BB Cream ❤

Hii girls~ ❤

I held a poll this week and Missha M Perfect Cover BB Cream #23 received the most votes! But, I've decided to review the Missha M Perfect Cover & Skin79 Hot Pink BB Cream because these two seem to be the most popular BB creams on the market~ & when I was choosing between buying these two, I had a hard time picking because there were different good/bad things about both of them! I hope I can help someone out by comparing/contrasting these two BB creams~ ^^

In this review, I will be going over; Color, Texture, Smell, Pore Coverage & Oiliness of the two BB creams.

NOTE:
My skin color is around NC 25-30
My skin type is Oily/Combination

Note: This post is extremely pic heavy so please click "Read More" if you want to read more~❤

From their respected websites, Skin79 & Missha I could only find the English descriptions for the Skin79 BB Cream ):

I purchased my Skin79 from a seller on eBay called judestore10 for $14.77 + free shipping (lowest price I could find)~

She is really sweet so if you have any questions at all, don't hesitate to ask her on eBay and she will respond within 24 hours~ ^^ 

I also purchased my Missha BB Cream from a seller on eBay called spicygoods for $8.99~

Also, don't hesitate to ask her any questions too if you are hesitant~

Round 1: Color/Texture/Smell

Color: As you can see, the Skin79 is lighter than the Missha #23 & both of them have some sort of a gray cast when I first apply it on my face because I have pink undertones~ After about 30 minutes, both BB creams adjust to my skin color (NC:25-30). Missha also comes in #13, #21 & #31 color, (the smaller the number, the lighter the color, while unfortunately, Skin79 only comes in 1 color~

Texture: Missha is definitely heavier than Skin79. Skin79 is lighter on my face and it spreads more easily, which means lighter coverage. & Missha spreads more heavily, which means heavier coverage.

Smell: Missha has some sort of a baby lotion smell?~ It is definitely stronger than Skin79 because once I wore the Missha BB Cream when going out with Tiffo, she said she could smell it on me x__x Skin 79's smell is very light and I can barely smell it when I apply it on.

Round 2: Pore Coverage

WARNING: If you are extremely grossed out by pores, please skip this section! Because I bravely took a picture of my naked nose pores in order to give you readers an accurate review~ >< Please don't judge me~ My skin is not perfect! (:

3..... Ready?

TADA!! Ewwww..... ok...... moving on!!

Skin79 gives my pores a medium coverage~ You can't really see the dark pores anymore but if you look up close, you can still see your pores~ Skin79 evens out your texture though~

Pores? What pores?~ hahaha... Missha definitely covers my pores better~ It evens out the skin and covers each and every pore!

Round 3: Overall Coverage

okay.. here's my naked face again... no face cream, no foundation, no concealer~ NAKED!~ I bet you're wondering, did you get enough sleep last night?~ >< I slept for 8 hours! My dark circles are just really severe ):

Skin79 evens out skin tone, but my dark circles are still peeping out~ >< It gives you a really matte finish; great for taking pictures WITHOUT flash~ (SPF does give you a white cast when you use flash) & it doesn't feel oily on my skin at all~ Skin79 is a little more gray than the Missha BB cream~ But it will adjust after a couple of minutes

Missha also evens out my skin tone but gives heavier coverage over my dark circles under my eyes~ This color is indeed darker than the Skin79 which suits my skin color better~ When I first apply this BB cream, it feels a little heavy and oily~ & it gives you a dewy finish~

It looks like Skin79 is extremely lighter than Missha, but it is the lighting that is off ): I couldn't get the exact same lighting! Just compare my face and my neck to see the difference between the BB cream and my skin color~ & notice the coverage, not the color~ ^^

Round 4: Oiliness

These two are actually almost the same in terms of oiliness on my oil blotting paper, but on my face, Missha definitely feels more oily at the end of the day~ After a day at school, which is about 4-5 hours, the Missha BB cream makes my face powder clump up into tiny little patches o___o Skin79 only feels a little oily after school~

In case you are wondering, I am using the Mentholatum Acnes Medicated Oil Control Film for this test~ It says it absorbes oil, but not water~

Round 5: Packaging, Price & Product

Note: I purchased both of these BB cream on eBay. Both sellers confirmed they are both indeed real and not fake. The Skin79 BB cream is the upgraded version, which has an upgraded formula, and a smaller, more compact bottle than the previous version(but same amount of product).

I really love pink & this packaging is extremely cute & attractive! ^^

Overall:

Both are good in their own ways. Although Missha is a bit oily on me, it is better suited for dry skin & Skin79 is better suited for oily skin like me. Skin79 has a VIP Gold, which is also suited for dry skin~ Both claim to reduce/prevent wrinkles, even skin tone and protect against the sun. Missha has an incredible SPF 40 PA+++ and Skin79 has an SPF25 PA++. In terms of SPF, Missha would be better suited for the summer, but because of the heavy coverage, I do not know if I would like to use it during the summer. Skin79 has SPF25 which is still enough if you are just going to school, but if you are going to the beach or hanging outside for the whole day, you need to use a sunscreen under the Skin79 BB cream.

For now, I seem to be using my Skin79 BB cream more because of the lighter feeling on my face~ because it's almost summer! ^^

BEWARE OF FAKE BB CREAM ON eBay!! 

Please make sure to do alot of research before buying on eBay! 

Do NOT Buy from the seller if: 

1. The seller sells random other stuff other than makeup or girly stuff (such as if they sell computer parts or something related to mass manufacturing, big no-no!)

2. Sells from Hong Kong or China (BIG WARNING)

3. Cheaper than $14.00 (Unless it is an auction item from a seller that sells genuine BB Cream, although under $14 is still very rare)

To purchase authentic Skin79 or Missha BB Cream, make sure to check if the seller:

1. Is selling from South Korea

2. Has more than 98-99% satisfaction 

& check why customers left negative/neutral feedback. Was it because the cosmetic item was defective/fake? Or was it just because the shipping was slow, or they never received the item. If it is the former, do NOT buy from the seller. If it is the latter, it is still okay.

3. PLEASE NOTE: Even if they have all of these qualities it is still not guaranteed that they are selling authentic BB Cream.

If you are still wary of eBay sellers, you can always buy from the Skin79 or Missha website of your respective countries~

PS: Also, a tip, if you do not like heavy coverage, you can mix the BB cream with a face cream or face sunscreen of your choice~

I hope this review helped! ^^ Goodluck to you all who are choosing a BB cream~ There are SO many out there! >< I hope I helped one of you girls pick the right one (:

Sincerely, mimi ❤
