Me wearing Bobbi Brown’s CC Cream SPF 35
After an unfavorable experience with Dr. Jart’s Water Fuse Smart Gel BB, I decided to forgo BB creams and dive in to CC creams. The appeal of a CC (Color Correcting) cream is that it can address issues like redness, dullness, uneven skin tone, age spots and sallowness while providing SPF coverage and a light feel on the skin. It’s normally aimed at those who have minor skin issues but they can have buildable coverage.
The CC cream I have been testing out for the last couple of weeks is Bobbi Brown’s CC Cream SPF 35 in Warm Nude-geared towards light to medium skin tones-and I love it! Below, the breakdown of my review.
Pros
Feels light on the skin
Excellent in concealing redness
Provides good moisture to my combination skin without feeling oily
Broad Spectrum SPF 35
Cons
Limited Color Selection
Takes a little bit longer to blend than I would normally like
Buildable coverage for those who have minor skin imperfections but not as much as a foundation can provide
Price: $44 1.35 FL OZ
Overall: While in my opinion CC creams don’t replace your skincare routine, they are a great everyday option if you have minor skin imperfections and want light-weight coverage; over time you may see a slight improvement in your skin. Also, although the inclusion of SPF is a plus and great for when you are in a hurry, I still wear my normal SPF underneath to make sure I apply the recommended amount- 1 teaspoon.
What’s your preferred medium: tinted moisturizers, BB Creams, CC Creams, foundation or powders?
