Tinted moisturiser/bb/cc cream for combination skin

34 replies

Hello,

I’ve got the classic combination skin; very oily in the t-zone, but also quite dry. I’ve started only wearing foundation for evenings/events, but I like a tinted moisturiser or similar to even out skin tone and hydrate.

I know nothing will work miracles with the oiliness, but I’d like something suitable for combination skin which hydrates without being greasy, heavy or orangey. I’m also quite pale, so need something which comes in a relatively fair shade. Does this magic tinted moisturiser exist?!
Thanks!

Realise I said a little goes a long way twice there ☺️

Glad you liked it! Not tried the super BB so may give it a go when the bb runs out.

I picked up a sample of the eboiran cc water off ebay. Its lovely.

What's the difference between a bb and a cc?

I also want to understand the difference! And are either of them particularly better for someone moving away from foundation because old/lines it is starting to settle into

I have quite red oily skim and I use the Dr Jart camo drops - theyre green in the bottle then turn beige on your skin! Set with a bit of powder and gives a bit of coverage without being a full face :)

CC is Colour Borrecting - good for uneven skin tone, pigment etc
BB is Blemish Balm - good for spots and marks

I'm not 100% sure but it sounds like BB gives better coverage and more of a foundation product. CC maybe more of a primer or possibly for those who don't want to have a makeup look.

So with Eborian, the CC cream is the lighter option?
