So we have had BB creams, now we have CC creams!
Sounds like it’s all
getting a bit confusing doesn’t it but don’t panic, the CC stands for the old
familiar colour corrector.
I wasn’t sure if this
product was classed as skin care or as colour cosmetics but I guess it sits
somewhere in the middle.
In a nutshell it’s a
hydrating colour corrector that will even your skin tone whilst providing a
sheer, natural coverage.
If you think your
skin is sallow (yellowish), red undertones, ashy, sun damaged or just uneven
then this may be a good buy.
The word hydrating in
the title may scare of the oily skinned ones amongst us but to be honest I
found it to soak in quick and felt more matte once blended in.
With an SPF of 30
this is particularly good for sun damage or those who just like a bit of extra
protection (do not use as a sun cream replacement).
The cream uses dual layered colour correcting optics to
scatter light over the skin to help even tones and brighten.
Feels nice and light even though it is a cream and doesn’t
feel greasy even though it is hydrating. Skin has a soft sheen and looks glowy.
I did feel like this
may flash back slightly under camera flash due to the high SPF so be aware of
this and test it first if you’re thinking of it for your wedding day.
I applied this after
my moisturiser but before my foundation.
My skin is slightly
red in places and I did feel like it toned it down naturally. This is a sheer product so this alone will not mask and conceal but softly tone down and smooth
un-even colour. You can then apply your foundation over the top to cover or you can obviously just wear this on it’s own if you don’t
wear foundation.
This comes in 6 shades from very light through to deep. Pick
the shade, which is closest to your natural skin tone.
I tested this over a scar on my arm that has purple/red
undertones and even though the sample I was testing was slightly too light for
me I thought it worked well at toning down and brightening the skin.

As a face care I really recomend visiting place where you can have some rest. Once I was in SPA in Edinburgh (edinburgh-massage-therapy.co.uk ), it was really great!
