I Can't Stop Using This $15 Plumping Korean Skin Tint

Believe the hype: Korean skin care is as dew-inducing as they say. Perhaps unsurprisingly, tinted moisturizers from South Korean brands are equally wonderful—a conclusion I’ve drawn after dabbling in countless formulas over the past few spring seasons, when I swap my heavy foundations for breezier options. I’m amassing an impressive K-beauty skin tint collection, though I find myself returning to a $15 pick from Missha M.

To try the brand’s Perfect Cover Serum BB Cream is to love it. Such has been the case for my twin sister, whose skin veers oily, and for me, whose skin is perpetually parched. An almond-sized dollop smoothed over the face, even in a rush, creates a gorgeous glow that reads radiant and far from cake-y. The buildable tint conceals imperfections (i.e., sun spots, redness, and the like) without appearing makeup-y in the slightest. Additionally, the formula contains anti-aging ingredients that plump fine lines and fade hyperpigmentation with continued use.

Best of all? It lasts 24 hours-plus. Just last week, I slapped it on in the morning; then, I worked up a sweat while running (quite literally) late. To my delight, my complexion remained even-toned when I arrived at my destination—and a friend even complimented my “glowing” complexion.

So, I'm stocking up on my skin-enhancing secret for the long haul. After all, $15 is more than a fair price for instant and long-lasting radiance.
