With the craze of BB creams, CC creams are the latest 'it' product in the beauty industry. CC stands for colour corrector. I'm not a fan of full coverage for everyday as I like makeup to look and feel natural on my skin. There's nothing worse than a thick mask of makeup!
While browsing in Boots I came across the new collection of CC creams from L'oreal. If you're not familiar with the term 'CC' is stands for Colour corrector and is the next big beauty buzz after BB creams. They include anti-redness (green) anti-fatigue (apricot) and anti-dullness (mauve).
L'oreal have changed the formula from the first time I bought mine, so I shall show you the difference below.
The old formula is the same as the new, only with a higher SPF. I think it's about time too as majority of the BB/CC creams on the market are with a low SPF, which isn't on!
It comes out of the tube a green colour (which looks quite scary against your skin!) but once blended matches skin colour. This does an amazing job at not only covering redness around my nose and cheeks, but also minor imperfections. For reference I am NC30 in MAC foundation and this is a perfect colour match. A word of warning though, if you are very pale this may appear orange on you, so make sure you swatch in store before purchasing.
I have very pale arms so looks a little dark for me, but matches the colour on my face. If like me you have acne marks/pigmentation to conceal this will cover them lightly, but you will require a concealer for flawless coverage.
Conclusion
If you are on the look out for a base that and covers redness and will last all day, snap this up! One tube will last for at least 3 months used on a daily basis. It is ideal for medium-dark skintones and does not turn your face into an oily mess! It feels light and not like you are wearing a 'mask'.
Purchase from Boots for £9.99 for 100ml
*ALERT* Boots currently have a special offer of a Free Million carats gift box when you spend £15 or more on selected L'Oreal cosmetic*
