BB cream review: Missha M Signature Real complete BB cream

Hi everyone, I hope your having a wonderful time and enjoying the nice weather.
Today I will be reviewing the Missha M Signature Real Complete BB cream. I've been very curious with the Missha line of BB creams. I heard a lot of wonderful things about this brand of BB creams. I wanted to try the original formula but for whatever reason the product keeps going out of stock.

pump

Product experience:
This BB cream comes in a hard plastic tube. It has a pump and cap that fits snugly. Packing is really and well thought off. The pump however is some what of annoyance. This BB cream is meant to be stored up right so all the product pools close to pump. You get 45 g of product for $35 USD, there are 2 shades available #21 Light pink beige and #23 natural yellow beige.
The BB cream itself is thick and feels dry BB cream. It has a medium but build able coverage. So it will even out your skin tone but will not hide those really bad acne spots or sun spots. It's a dry BB cream so it's great for anyone who has combination oily skin even extremely oily skin. I have a combination oily skin but I find this BB cream to be drying. I always use a moisturizer underneath and just for added protection some type of primer that is silicone based.
This BB cream is easy to blend you can use your fingers for a fast application or use a buffing brush for a natural yet flawless coverage. I prefer to use the Samantha Chapman expert face brush with this BB cream.
I used this during one of the coldest days here in So Cal but everything held up pretty well. During winter/ cooler days I stayed oil free for 9 hours
During summer time this lasted about 4 hours by around 1 and 2 pm the hottest time of the day my nose area is very shinny and I could see a little bit of shine on my forehead and chin. The other parts of my face remained matte.
I think I can get away without applying moisturizer on my skin during summer time.

  • Easy to use and blends easily.

  • Long wearing
  • Controls oil very well
  • Has a matte finish
Cons:
  • Needs to be stored up right or else you will struggle getting the product out.
  • Not recommended for dry skin.
  • There is only 2 color available its not a perfect match for me but its workable.
  • The BB cream clings and emphasizes dry spots 
  • Can only be purchased online.
  • Will cause flash back because of the high SPF.

I like this BB cream I will continue to use it. It will be great for summer time because is long wear, controls oil and has high SPF. Recommended for oily or combination oily skin.
