Swatch Comparison: Missha M Perfect Cover BB Cream No. 27 & Maybelline Fit Me Foundation 210 Sandy Beige

I received an email from a blog reader a couple of days ago. I've gotten one or two way back when, but haven't gotten many recently. But this was so exciting! I know many of my readers are silent readers [I am too!], but if there is anything you're interested in knowing right away just ask! I don't bite. Especially not since we're communicating through the internet, of course. :] If I can answer you, I definitely will!

In her e-mail, the...my?...reader...she asked about a base product shade comparison, as you probably already saw the title of this post! I wonder why I haven't thought to do this earlier...Before I even think about buying a foundation or any base product at that, I search high and low to compare swatches all the time! I remember I had a difficult time finding photos of Missha M Perfect Cover BB Cream No.27 too (but this was when Missha had introduced this shade maybe a short while before I got the product).

I got this last September/October during Missha's Labor Day event. I already tried a sample of their BB Cream in No.23 and felt it was too gray and pink for my skin & at the time No. 31 had been out a while and judging from swatches/videos it seemed way too dark for my skin. Luckily they came out with the No.27 - Honey Beige. It seemed like the best option for me. However, when I went to Google...I really didn't come across any swatches of the then new shade. I was even more surprised when she mentioned she had no luck finding swatches to compare either and it is a good 6+ months later!


When it's all spread out like this, there is a pretty clear difference between the two products. One is clearly peachier and the other more yellow/golden.

However, when it is actually applied and blended, I could hardly tell the difference. I'd say that Maybelline Fit Me Foundation in 210 Sandy Beige and Missha M Perfect Cover BB Cream in No.27 Honey Beige are very similar in color. It isn't spot on identical though. But, of course, no one will be wearing the two [if they have both] at the same time on different sides of their face on a regular basis. This is just to show how similar they are in color! I've never been shade matched at MAC Cosmetics for their NC/NW color system so I'm not sure how these two compares to a MAC foundation per say. If anyone knows their MAC shade and also uses either or one of these two products, I'll add it to the post for future readers!


I cannot really give a review of the two base products because honestly, I have quite a lot of BB Creams and foundations in my collection and I don't wear them all the time. So I don't have many opinions on either...yet!

I haven't swatched all the base products that I have together yet but it will be another task for me this summer! Especially since I don't review my makeup items as often as I should be, at least leaving swatches for my readers is the least I could do! Again...If there is anything you're interested in just let me know. Don't be afraid to ask! I know how that feels too!

Oh no!

It finally happened...

My Blushable Creme Stick in Plaza Pink (thank you Blair for reminding me i forgot the name :X) that broke by itself a couple of weeks ago, fell on the floor >__<



I can’t even salvage it if I wanted to...

How did it even break? I don’t twist it up all the way when I use it since its brand new...

Hello Riteaid/Duane Reade, here I come! :P

I really liked this shade, thankfully it isn’t LE (at least to my knowledge it isn’t).

When blended out it gives a nice glow, if layered a little bit more it’ll give a pretty flush. Pretty natural so = I like (possible love hehe).

It looks like a corally-pink (I’m pretty terrible at describing colors sorry!).


Both are done with a pretty heavy hand. Top=blended & Bottom=unblended

Depending on the weather and what activities I’m doing, it can last pretty long or not very long. I don’t carry makeup around so I do not touch up, but you can if you want to.

I’m not sure how this would look on darker skin types, and it doesn’t really hurt to try since at most drugstores that I’ve been to it is USD$3.99 (it might be different depending on where you live and from store to store)

Has anyone else tried it? What do you think about it? ^__^

Did anyone else’s come apart like that?
