Two weeks back on a mall visit, I quickly hopped into their Faces store, only to pick up the new CC cream.I brought home the darker shade despite the SA telling me not to..there is much more to the cream..read on.
The cream comes in two shades, this one is sand and there is a lighter one too.I picked up sand as I could see more yellow tones to it,the lighter one had more pinker tones.The cream comes in a matte black packaging, I quite like the packaging in black and yellow, and the print on the pack too. The pricing is not bad either though you can find cc creams cheaper than 400 rupees.
The tube comes in a simple screw cap.This will remind you of some Lakme foundation you might have used, or some souffle foundation you might have used.The cc cream reminds of some light foundation when I swatch it. The color is surely yellow and warm.unfortunately it turned out very sandy on me, I should have picked the lighter shade no doubt on that.
The texture is very light, it is almost like a tinted moisturizer or light souffle foundation.I could judge it will give you coverage whatsoever.The texture is light and the skin almost drinks it up.Secondly, the finish is matte.This was quite a relief for me as I hate those shiny bb creams and cc creams.The light matte look of this had an appeal for me.
Coverage is poor, it works lightly to add some color coat on me, there is no coverage of pores of pigmentation honestly. The coverage could be better.It mattifies skin so I think girls who are looking for brightness can forget about it.It looks like a light matte foundation.It photographs well since it looks very natural toned on the skin like wearing no foundation.
The biggest downside of this cream for me is that it is very strong for my sensitive skin,it gave itchy skin when ever I wore it.The reasons is that my skin reacts to very strong anti-aging r sunscreen agents in products.I think this will work fine for girls who have no issues with sunscreens or anti aging products.I have used at least 4 bb creams earlier and this never happened. I was not happy with the poor coverage and the strong elements they might have used in this, sensitive skin and dry skin can skip it.
The staying power is 3 plus hours beyond which the oil resurfaces.I also fear this shade is dark or else it oxidizes slightly on me.It did not give me any brightness on the skin whatsoever, it looked like a natural lightweight semi-matte foundation.
I will not recommend it to problematic, sensitive or dry skin.If at all you trust the brand and are looking for a light weight tinted moisturizer like product, try it at the store and then buy it.
