My review on the Missha compact foundation is probably the most popular post on my blog. That's very good since I love and adore that foundation...but there is a VERY close second. The Missha Signature Real Complete BB Cream (what a name!).
This is NOT the most common BB cream that the beauty gurus talk about. Missha makes several different kinds of BB creams.
The one the beauty gurus all talk about is the most basic BB cream that Missha makes. The one that I use is a step above that. My mom actually uses the one that's a step above me.

The bottle is actually plastic so its not squishy like the other one.

So what is different about this BB cream as compared to the more popular one?
When I talked to the sales lady, she said this would be better for my sensitive skin. There are more ingredients in this BB cream geared towards moisturizing, balancing, and healing your skin.The website says its hypoallergenic and supposed to be brightening. Coverage is a tad more heavier with this BB cream too.

I use no 23 (its the darkest they have) |
The formula seems runny, but as you start blending it thickens up.
It blends really easily and covers pretty well.
You can kind of see where I blended the BB cream. It does not have a powdery finish and its very light.
I busted out my Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream (the more popular one) for comparison of texture and color.
My hand with the ring has the Perfect Cover and the other hand has the Signature Complete.
You can't see any color difference or any real coverage difference. Both have a floral scent, but the Signature Complete smells more like an actual perfume. I don't mind the smell at all cause it fades away.
To be perfectly honest...I have never worn the Perfect Cover BB Cream on my face.
So I cannot give you a comprehensive comparison.
With my Signature Complete BB cream, however, I do not get accentuated flaky patches of skin and it doesn't break me out if I wear it for a long time. Since it is liquid formula, it hydrates my skin very well but does not make my skin oily. I use 2 pumps for my whole face.
I didn't like how my compact version was light on my skin, but this BB cream does not do that. I also do not notice any gray cast.
According to the website its $45.99 which is ridiculous. I paid like...$25.
This to me is way better than tinted moisturizers. I love my Signature Complete BB cream :)
I will start using my Perfect Cover though so I can write a review on that and more detailed comparison between the 2 BB creams.
Cheers!

hi where did you buy this Missha bb cream?
Hi Tawny! I bought all my BB creams from the actual Missha stores in S. Korea. I know they are available on eBay and other stores online, but they will probably be more expensive. I'm sorry I don't have any places in the US :(
