When it comes to Korean cosmetic, I get asked most about the best BB cream. I’m not an expert on BB creams. I’m not an expert at all when it comes to make-up, as I’m not really “kikay”. If I could get away without putting on make-up at all, I’d do that. However, I have a family and a husband to take care of. In this society, appearance counts big time!
Anyway, what is the top BB cream in Korea? According to CMN (and TNS Media), it is Missha’s Perfect Cover with a market share of 10.8%. It overtook Hanskin, which was the top brand last year.
Top BB Creams in Korea:
1. Missha
2. Hanskin
3. Skin79
4. The Face Shop
5. Mamonde
This year, Missha launched their new BB cream product: Signature Real Complete BB Cream with SPF 25. It retails for 23,300 won and is available in 21 and 23. Hmm, my BB cream is almost gone. I might just get this next week
