Simple to use either as an everyday base under foundation for a smoother finish, with concealer, or on its own for a very subtle layer of coverage, a CC cream is a must-have for nailing for the “no make-up, make-up” look. We’re truly in love with the It Cosmetics CC cream, and while there were a great number of steady rivals, none quite gave the same illuminated, flawless finish.

Once worked in (ideally with the fingers) the pigments release, turning into a more natural skin tone match – our tester did find it slightly orange on her very pale skin, but for anyone with a slightly warmer skin tone, this shouldn’t be a problem. Phase one protects from UVA and UVB rays with a broad spectrum SPF, phase two provides an anti-ageing serum, and phase three evens skin tone with a sheer foundation. Max Factor CC Cream blends cucumber water, sea buckthorn and rosehip extracts with SPF 10 to keep skin hydrated and protected. It neutralises the redness in my skin, covers the blemishes and really softens the appearance of open pores, fine lines and wrinkles. CC Cream or Colour Correcting Cream is a clever multi- tasking makeup, a must have to obtain gorgeous, flawless coverage and hydrated, smooth looking skin.Combining a moisturiser serum with a sheer foundation, giving it the signature swirl pattern, the hydrating formula works in three phases.
