I'm going to Korea in December and was told I can find the brands Etude House and Holika Holika. I want to try their bb creams but I wanted your opinion on the brands first before I buy them. I have oily skin, and bb creams I've tried here are leave my skin oily looking. Will these bb creams look oily on my skin?

I haven't tried them, but I've heard amazing things about Étude House BB Creams. American BB creams aren't formulated the same way at all, so the Asian brands are going to be (and do better things) for you skin. I'd say check out YouTube though for some reviews.

Etude house has a bb cream especially for oily skin. its called precious minerals bb cream in cotton fit. make sure it says that cotton part bc the other has a dewy finish!

Koreans apply it four ways
1. fingers
2. Foundation brush
3. Beauty blender
4. a puff. It's not a sponge (too heavy of application)

No problem! I pat lightly at first then use circular motions to blend from the inside is my face out to my ears.

I haven't tried them all but the bb cream is fantastic and the pomegranate face mask really freshened up my face. I can't really see anything else >~<

Dr jart, skin 79, missha all have really good bb creams :) I just spent a year in korea and those were my favorites. Koreans are soooo into their beauty products, go wild and try some new things while you're there!
