For those hot days when you want something to even your skin out, but don’t want something as heavy as foundation what do you use?

Another vote for Eborian CC. I'm on holiday at the moment and it's just perfect for when it's hot (but you've also been up all night with a poorly toddler)

Eborian fans. Is the cc better than the bb?

I’m tempted to give it a go but to justify the price tag I need to look like I got 8 hours sleep (baby and toddler so won’t happen), to be able to apply it while changing kids/emptying the dishwasher/shouting ‘we are late’ repeatedly and generally just have flawless skin (laughs hollowly)

I have Eborian cc cream, which I prefer, I tried the BB cream but found it much thicker. I didn't like it so I sold it on ebay.

I’m currently wearing Hermes Plein Air which is lovely. The coverage isn’t medium/heavy so not for autumn/winter but it’s ideal for summer as a nice and light coverage which feel lovely on the skin.

I haven't tried the Erborian bb cream but I think it would be thicker so not as lightweight as the cc cream. So better for coverage but would feel heavy on the skin. But the cc cream really evens out my skin tone, removes the redness, but it looks very natural like I'm not wearing anything. Just glowy skin. It smells a bit weird though, like my nans old creams lol but apart from that it is a HG. I found a discount code for it before buying because it is expensive.

My sister uses this

i think it's madly pricey but at least you can return to QVC after you use it.

Bare minerals tinted moisturiser is very good and spf 30. Nice and glowy and easy to apply quickly

L'Oréal true match plumping serum - it's a serum with a tint. Only £15 and it's amazing. I also have the Erborian CC cream and I do like it for summer but for the rest of the year I prefer the L'Oréal serum.

I love Guinot Hydra finish. Moisturising, SPF15 and beautiful.
