Review on MISSHA M BB Boomer: Dewy Finish, Healthy Glow & Skincare Benefits For Improved Skin Tone! by Fred Maki

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Best idiot-proof highlighter I have found for all-over brightening: no glitter/tone, sheer & natural

I've bought this 3x now, and found nothing that compares as an all over "glow" (I daub it OVER my foundation/bare skin on forehead, bridge of nose, cheeks: basically use it as a highlighter). It could be used as a primer, I guess, which is Missha's intention as I understand it. But I don't see any benefits (not a pore spackle, doesn't do anything in terms of adhesion/increasing wear of foundation that I can tell), and it takes away the highlighting benefits if you layer a BB or something over it. And there's no need to do that because, again, it is totally sheer and natural.It's creamy: the consistency and color of a very light, oil-free moisturizer. There is absolutely no visible glitter in it (which I, as a 44-year-old, applaud). It is also neutral, unlike many highlighters; not pink or peach or yellow, just glowy. The "highlighting" effect isn't as obvious as others, but it's also pretty much idiot-proof: just take one pump and put it everywhere you'd put a highlighter. I've even done 2 pumps at night and I don't look like an idiot (to the best of my knowledge).Hasn't broken me out (although be aware I'm not prone to breakouts generally), and a bottle of this stuff will last you at least 8 months if you use it DAILY.Most of Missha's BBs etc. I can take or leave, but this is an absolute staple for me. Highly recommend.

Pros
  • Boosts collagen production for plump, youthful skin
Cons
  • Can cause skin to appear cakey or overdone
