Max Factor SPF 10 CC Colour Correcting 40 Fair Cream 30 ml

Product Information

Similar to a foundation in consistency, packaging and application (with a damp sponge), it’s lighter in texture, doesn’t cake or crease too much and has just enough coverage to subtly even out skin tone.

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 . Not only did it correct colour, but it has a thick and creamy consistency not common among CC creams, which, when combined with the stronger pigment, delivers a higher coverage without the cakiness or cracking often associated with foundations, while still covering dark circles, pores and blemishes. It also contains SPF30 for some everyday sun protection – of course, we would recommend adding a higher factor sunscreen spray on top in the summer. While beauty balms (aka BB creams) act as a "skincare and make-up hybrid with added sun protection" – as expertly described by one of our reviewers – its sister product, CC cream, provides more coverage and really targets uneven skintone.

I will actually wear this without foundation over top on days when I just can't really be bothered with a "full face'. Korean skincare brand Erborian may not be a brand you’ve already heard of, but it is starting to make subtle waves in the beauty community. Glycerin, tiger grass extract and vitamin E deeply moisturise and plump the skin, giving long-lasting hydration and soothing qualities.

The packaging is actually really nice, looks classy, though the lid does get dirty with dried up foundation.

If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag.I have tried different MF foundation products before, and they were either very good (touch mousse) or just fine. As with all Clinique products, the science behind it is pretty impressive, with light scattering colour correcting optics neutralising complexion and aloe barbadensis leaf water, hyaluronic acid, trehalose and sorbitol all working to hydrate the skin and protect it against humidity. There are also a lot of colour choices, 6 altogether: Light Ivory, Warm Almond, Natural, Beige, Golden and Bronze. It was a ground-breaking formula when it launched and it actually meets the CC criteria that have now been set. But, there’s often a reason why certain brands stand the test of time, and Olay has garnered a lot of attention from this CC cream.

So, with options from It Cosmetics, Chanel, Erborian and more, take a look below to see what really was the best of the bunch. It hides the redness and small broken veins in my cheeks, dulls my blemishes and hides a lot of my scarring (not severe scarring). Lightweight enough to be applied simply with the fingers, as with a regular moisturiser, this CC cream gives a light coverage for a gentle glow that soothes redness and creates a more even skin tone.If I am going out I use a more long lasting foundation, but this is brilliant for creating natural even finish. This CC cream is tailored towards reducing redness, meaning it uses a high amount of green pigments to colour correct, which then adjusts to your skin tone. When I first used the foundation, I accidentally pressed down on the pump too hard so a lot of product came out. What makes this CC cream so great is the subtle micro light-reflecting pigments that illuminate the face, giving a dewy glow that looks fresh, healthy and natural without the use of glitter or highlighter-style shimmer. Our tester applied each one in the morning and considered how they glided onto the skin, the coverage, how wore throughout the day and any skincare benefits too.
