So for all my lovely tan makeup lovers, you know how hard it can be trying to find an Asian bb cream that matches our skin tone. For reference I'm about an NC40, and I thought it would be helpful to list some of the bb creams I've tried or heard of!
Missha Perfect Cover #31 Golden Beige: Most of you have probably heard of this one and it's been my holy grail for the last 4 years. The color match is perfect, it covers my acne scars well, and controls my oils...basically just magic in a tube.
Skin79 Bronze Super Plus Beblesh Balm: This one came out pretty recently and I excitedly bought a few samples cheap off prettyandcute. Honestly I was pretty disappointed with this one. Surprisingly this was actually a bit dark for my face (note: I did test this out during the Winter time). It was also really dewy and didn't seem to cover my acne scars that well. Overall I'd recommend this to someone maybe NC42 with decent skin looking for something moisturizing.
Etude House Precious Mineral BB Bright Fit W15 Sand Beige: Geez that's a long name lol. Don't be confused with the numbering as W15 is the darkest shade and W24 is the lighter shade before it. I saw a youtuber (dolledupbysamantha) who looked about my shade review this so I bought it right away. Even though it came out pretty dark, once it dried it was about a shade too light for me. Maybe this would work better for an NC35? Pretty sad too since it covered my scars well and my skin felt amazingly soft when I washed it off at the end of the day.
Skinfood Peach Sake Pore BB #4-8: Unfortunately I haven't tried this one out yet. The darker shades are a bit harder to find and the only place I know where to buy it online is on urbanoutfitters. The downside is the darker shades don't contain any spf. Urbanoutfitters also marks the price up pretty high with their shipping and for some reason they don't sell shade 3? lol
Laneige BB cushion dark: Sorry guys haven't tried this one either. Sigh the problems of being a broke college student lol. As far as I know this shade is only sold in Target or on the Target website. The benefit is that it comes with a refill which could help justify the price. It looks pretty promising with the spf and it seems like a great option for us tan girls who are dying to try the wonders of a bb cushion :)
A word of advice: if any of you guys find yourself left with a bb or cc cream too light for your skin you could always set it with a powder darker than the natural shade of your face. It helps to even out the white cast and prevent your bb/cc from feeling lonesome at the bottom of your drawer :P
