Tried and tested CC creams
CC stands for colour corrector or complexion corrector, they are essentially tinted moisturisers that are used to correct skin imperfections, as in redness, pigmentation and dark spots. They are thicker than BB creams and give more coverage.
I am a massive fan of CC creams, here’s my verdict, tried and tested, thumbs up and thumbs down…
BEST ALL ROUNDER
IT Cosmetics have run the world with their incredible CC cream, it covers redness perfectly, covers pigmentation and gives the most incredible glow and doesn’t set into lines or pores. The only downside is the shade range and they come out a little or the warm side, great for summer golden skin.
BEST FOR COVERING REDNESS
This CC cream has encapsulated pigments that adapt to your skin tone… It’s pretty amazing!
Erborian is a well known French-Korean brand specialising in skincare and BB, CC creams, they have mastered the art of finding anti-redness primers. With only 4 shades they are a little limiting but it covers redness and gives a flawless finish. It is packed with skincare hero’s leaving it a super hydrating option.
BEST FOR GLOWY SKIN
Charlotte Tilbury’s beautiful skin is by far the nicest for glowy skin, it gives your skin the glow your looking for and it says it in the name – it truely give you ‘beautiful skin’! The shade range is great, like most CC creams it doesn’t last all day and I would say out of all of them this gives the best coverage, so if you have got redness or pigmentation this CC cream is great for that little extra coverage.
BEST BUDGET OPTION
ELF is a great brand offering seriously good products at a reasonable price and this hydrating CAMO CC cream is great coverage, good shade range and nice glowy finish, I also like the fact it doesn’t break the bank. The only down side is that on the days my skin felt dry, it set into my lines. So if you have hydrated plump skin it’s a fab option, I just had to make sure I had a super hydrating base as my skin can be dry.
