Cc cream?

5 replies

I’m currently using Nars tinted moisturiser. I mix two shades because I can’t find the right match.

I would like something with a bit more coverage, and longer lasting. Nars tends to slide off my face by lunchtime. Maybe a cc cream?

My skin is quite oily and I hate it. I won’t leave the house without pressed powder in my bag. I hate having a shiny face. So I’d prefer something matte.

I’m relatively pale so something with good shades for lighter skin.

I’m nearly 40 and still get the occasional spot.

Can anyone recommend a product? Willing to spend up to about £30.

I really like Erborian CC and BB (the BB is heavier coverage than the CC) but I don't think they're great at mattifying.

I also love Erborian but agree it’s not very mattifying.

Try IT Cosmetics CC cream, it has a matte version. Looks like it’s 20% off at Boots and LookFantastic bringing it under £30.

NARS TM is one if the most dewiest on the market and really for normal to dry.

Depending on the level
of coverage and your skintone these are quite nice
Fenty Eaze Skin tint is actually one of the most matte ones on the market and gives coverage

The Erborian CC has quite sheer to light coverage- it comes out white and changes tone but only comes in a few shades

The Lisa Eldridge skin tint is elite - comes in many shades but is £39 but SpaceNK have 20% off time to time so worth looking out for.

Finally the Kylie skin tint is really nice too, very serum, though not sure how light it goes so but is very skin like. I’m not a fan of her or most of the other products in the range but this is probably in my top 3.

Finally Sephoras own version is really nice and light.

I use the eborian cc cream, you can use laura geller balance and brighten over the top for more coverage, infact in the heat I use laura geller on its own, it lasts longer then a liquid

I also use erborian cc cream and love it, but I think most cc creams are meant to be dewy looking rather than matt.
