I always end up going back to the Misha bb cream in the red tube with gold pump. I mix it with the elf halo glow and use a foundation spatula cause I like to apply one very thin layer. It has a sheer, dewy smooth finish that holds up really well throughout the day and keeps my skin looking like skin. Also has sunscreen properties but considering how little I use, i wouldn't rely on it too much and has never clogged my pores etc

So I finally bought the Missha BB Cream in the shade 21 and I am OBSESSED! I’ve tried a lot of foundations/skin tints and this is the best base product I’ve tried period. I know that a lot of people already swear by this but if you can find your shade I say run don’t walk and give it a go. For reference, I have dry/combo skin with occasional dry patches. Most of the foundations separate on me or look dry by the end of the day. But Missha looks amazing! It never looks cakey or flaky on me. It is very lightweight and feels like nothing on the skin. I like to apply it with my fingers. The only thing is, it has a fragrance. I have sensitive skin and it doesn’t bother me but it’s just something to note. I got the shade 21 and it is surprisingly a great match. I am fair with olive/neutral undertones.

I think 4 matches you beautifully! I’m pretty sure we’re almost the exact same skin tone, I’m also very pale, neutral, and desaturated. If you happen to want another recommendation, the Missha perfect cover bb cream in 13 is a super affordable light coverage tint that I adore - and it has spf to boot

I'm currently using the Missha BB cream in shade 13 (and even this I add a bit of blue corrector to so it's a bit more grey) but I'm worried that it's clogging my pores.

My face feels parched. My face feels worse than it does in the desert at midday. Despite spraying liberally with a variety of hydrating sprays - sprays that have always worked, until now - my face feels tight as a drum. It's almost painful. At the same time, my face is sticky to the touch, so it's not a simple matter of spritzing again. And despite being light and looking like skin, it somehow manages to look like heavy duty pancake makeup. I don't know how to describe adequately, but this is somehow both light and heavy, skin-like and cake-y, drying and oily. I'm quite disappointed, because I love Missha - I was hoping for a serum-like, lightweight, skin tint style version of the excellent BB creams I'm used to from Missha. I probably will try this again, probably a few times, but this has truly been a terrible introduction.

The Serum BB cream goes on smoothly, evenly, and gives medium to full coverage. It looks remarkably skin-like for such high coverage. The color is equivalent to the other Missha BB creams, and I haven't noticed any oxidation whatsoever.

I have dry skin and I'd recommend the Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream or the Purito Cica Clearing CC cream (they are very similar!)
