Messaged perviously I've decided to buy the original but...how does it wear?? Does it last long on your face? How do apply it?

It's basically just a full coverage foundation. I don't know why it's marketed as a CC cream as it's nothing like one. I love it though and wear it every day. Just apply with my fingers.

whymewhyme · 10/12/2021 18:44

Does it last well on your face? Foundations done seem to last more than a few hours!

I love it. First foundation I've ever repeat bought. You need way less than you think, put it on with a brush, swirl of setting powder, done.

Fab!

Lasts forever - pea sized blob for full cover, teeny blob for cc cover. I use it as concealer.

Sorry, OP, I wasn't keen on it at all.

Like a PP said, it's more like a full coverage foundation than a CC cream.

And it oxidised really badly on me.

I would buy a smaller travel-sized tube first if they have it in your colour, if I were you.

It is FABBBBB

You reminded me I'm about to run out!

I love it. Agree with others that it's a foundation rather than a CC cream. My skin still looks like skin, though, but it gives good coverage too, so the holy grail for me! Funnily enough, it's one of very few foundations that don't oxidise on me, so just goes to show how different we all are!

I apply with a brush and find it lasts well all day but definitely better with a primer underneath, which is to be expected, I suppose!

QVC stock it.

60 day money back if you don’t like it. If you send it back within 14 days you get your postage (from them to you) refunded.

CC is Complete Coverage in this case.

OP the shade range is a little limiting, I think they lean towards a little orangey. But it applies beautifully, and wear reasonably well (depends on your skin type and what you are used to though).

lindyloo57 · 10/12/2021 23:00

I love it too, in the summer I do have to use a little setting powder with it as I am oily, not so much in winter. I would try the travel size first you can get in boots.

LoveLabradors · 11/12/2021 08:36

I repeat buy this and Erborian BB cream. I use the IT CC matte as I find the regular a little too glowy for me as can lean towards slightly oily skin. I use “neutral tan” in summer months as I tan quickly and easily (and that shade can be a little pale after a holiday) and go pretty pale in the winter so use “neutral medium” - they are both perfect matches for my skin. I use zoeva buffing brush and it works very well with it. With a primer it lasts all day behind a mask in work. It is good coverage but I don't find it too much - I dislike heavy foundations.

LumosSolem · 11/12/2021 09:11

I personally don't love it. It does give good coverage, it's not a cc cream but a full coverage foundation.

But I don't like how it feels on my face at all. Really heavy and sticky- I could always feel it on my skin and couldn't wait to get it off tbh. Definitely if you want to try, buy it from QVC with the money back guarantee.

I much much prefer my L'Oréal true match foundation!

LumosSolem · 11/12/2021 09:12

Agree with snally too, definitely lean towards orangey.

Oneforthemoneytwo · 11/12/2021 09:15

I love it and find the colour perfect.

lindyloo57 · 11/12/2021 11:15

I also love the eborian cc cream, I've just brought the estee lauder daywear sheer tint in a gift set in boots, been wanting to try it but as its normally around £45 it's way to expensive, in the set for £37, you a mascara plus the night time cream with it, so it great value, only tried it this morning and not sure if there's enough coverage, it gos on white and changed colour to suit colouring , I will play around with it see if I can make it work. Does anyone use it.

LoveLabradors · 11/12/2021 11:59

It’s funny I don’t get on with the Erborian CC but love their BB. Just shows how we all suit different things.

lindyloo57 · 11/12/2021 12:13

I might try the eborian bb cream, what is the difference fo you think.

lindyloo57 · 11/12/2021 12:13

do you
