Asian BB creams

The reason why I tend to stay away from non Asian BB creams is because the shade aren't quite a match for me. I also believe that BB creams made by non Asian brands tend to have high claims, when in fact it's only a tinted moisturiser with a slight SPF. I have three in my current collection, all with their pros and cons, so lets go!

Missha Perfect Cover (21),  Dr Jart Water Fuse, Ginerva Green Tea Nude Cover.

Missha, What they say...

Natural coverage, Moisturising, Whitening, Anti wrinkle, SPF42 and Suitable for all skin types.

What I say...

This is a thick BB cream but it doesn't take too much effort to blend. Due to the consistency, I do sue more than I would with other face products. Despite coming out the tube, a bit pinky grey, it adapts but does not oxidise! to blend into my skin colour. Excellent coverage and does not cake and lasts throughout the day. This product is also scented nicely!

Dr Jart, What they say...

Instant flawless skin and minimises the appearance of imperfections.Water technology helps hydrate and gives a dewy finish. Is oil free and apparently minimizes the need for foundation and extra concealer. SPF 25.

What I say...

I bought this product because of the water technology, yes you can really see the water bubbles when you rub it into the skin. It's a bit of novelty but does what it says, hydrates. However, the finish for me is more greasy than dewy and coverage does need for extra concealer. I'm not a big fan of this BB, when I matte the face with a bit of my usual powder, it does start to cake and it's not very long lasting. The line only has one shade and I feel it doesn't quite adapt to my skin tone. 

Ginvera, What they say...

Natural and flawless full coverage. One shade suits all and is non greasy and gives a matte finish. Provides all day hydration for soft and supple skin. SPF 30.

What I say...

This product is so light and so fluid, I would liken applying this product to a really good serum. It provides a matte finish but doesn't make the skin feel dry. Despite being light, a little goes a long way and it really does provide full-ish coverage. My skin tone is MAC Nc20-25 and it adapts really well.
