It has just enough tint to even things out.

They are color correcting and they are typically lightweight and fast-absorbing. Most of them even out skin tone while providing skin with antioxidants and/or SPF.

What the heck does BB stand for?
I use Clinique's Dramatically Different for a moisturizer - is that CC cream? Lush used to make a moisturizer I loved, I think it was called Ultralite?, but it was discontinued.
edited to add:
Never mind, I looked it up. Sounds like it started off meaning something specific and now is pretty much a marketing term. I guess I spend all my time in Sephora looking at colorful makeup, not creams - because I have never heard of this abbreviation!

thanks momhappy!
I also suggest applying it with a beauty blender sponge. Very smooth finish.Gypsy|1414617913|3774645 said:I use the Misha too. You can use it very lightly. It's very spreadable and has great coverage.

This does not look good on my skin. They will give you a take home sample if you ask. I love Missha BB (buy from Amazon). May be more coverage than you want though. I wear number 21 and am very fair.

What is the difference between a BB and tinted moisturizer with an SPF? I wore the TM's for years and wonder now if it just rebranding.

There's a huge price difference between getting it from Amazon or from the Missha site. But sometimes I'm a little skeptical with Amazon and beauty products. Tacori, have you been purchasing this through Amazon for a while, no problems?
I still have a tube, lol, but didn't use it because the color was off (that is tough about buying online).Gypsy|1414703518|3775145 said:I bought mine from Amazon. But it was a WHILE ago. The tubes last a long time.

I have not had any problems. I think I have bought four tubes. They last a very long time. Missha has some sample sizes if you need to figure out your color. Lots of ladies seem to be a 23 but it was too beige for me. I am a 21 (ivory in other brands). Clinique looked streaky and that was with using the beauty blender (which I only buy from sephora). I have tried cover girl but there is little coverage.
