Why Asian for BB?

I am confused.  I keep hearing people reference Asian vs nonAsian BB creams.  Is is made in Asia or for Asian skin?  What is the benefits or differences?  TIA!

Re: Why Asian for BB?

  • All I heard so far is what Mrs.Riker posted below:

    "I really like Holika Holika for full coverage. the moisturizing version has spf 30! and skinfood for coverage. Both are Korean and available on Amazon. I recently tried the stila one at a store and thing I might try it when o run out, but it is more expensive than getting Asian ones even after paying shipping."

  • A few months back I did a lot of research and found plenty of people saying to get a brand of BB cream made in Asia over the new trendy porducts that US brands are recently producing.  One the products originated from their and to this day the best ones are still produced from there.

    US brands can't compete with the price and from the ones I have tried aren't even close to the quailty.  I started using Etude House one and I don't know what will happen if I can't order it (thankfully I bought two).  It last forever, and it now replaces my $50 bottle of foundation, and honestly it is so much better than it too.

     

     

  • Yep-- they originated in Korea so there are lots to choose from. But they are made for a specific skin tone, so they can look ashy on tanned, whit skin or olive skin. I'm fair and haven't had any problem with the Asian varieties matching. Basically I bought them when I first heard about BB creams because they were so much cheaper than Smashbox or Clinique and I didn't want to waste the money if I hated it. one clarification to my post yesterday--I meant I like my skinfood BB for LIGHT coverage. (Was on phone and didn't notice all the typos in my post.) other brands I hear a lot about are skin79 and missha
