CC cream is a great way to get the benefits of multiple products in one. Great for correcting color variances of the complexion. Usually CC creams include an SPF factor so it’s a great way to make sure you’re wearing sunscreen while enhancing your complexion.
Take a look.
Basics of CC Creams
CC stands for color correcting. CC Creams typically are a combination of tint, moisturizer, sunscreen, and anti-aging serum, all packed into one formula. It’s brilliant to get moisture and foundation in one multitasking product.
Not all have all of those properties, but they all have at minimum some tint and moisturizer. Some people only use a CC cream instead of a foundation. I think CC Cream is great for days off for running errands when you just want a quick cover-up and some color without a full makeup session.
CC creams are designed to even out your skin color if you have dark spots or red patches. You can use it as a primer and put foundation over it. Or just layer it as it’s buildable if you like.

How to use CC cream
Start with clean and dry skin. Do NOT use a primer.
Start with a small amount of product. Dot on your face with fingers.
Make sure to get those problem areas you want to even out. Use a clean, damp beauty blender, blend the cream into your skin. You can add layers if you want more coverage.
Finish with a light layer of finishing powder or you can apply foundation if you want truly full coverage or a more polished look.

Wrapping Up
If you haven’t tried a CC cream, it’s worth a try if you don’t want to spend a lot of time and money on putting on multiple layers of makeup. Some people swear by CC creams as a foundation.
