Simplicity at Its Finest: The Power of CC Creams
As a self-proclaimed low-maintenance beauty enthusiast, I’ve always been drawn to the “no makeup-makeup” look. You know, the effortless, natural appearance that requires minimal effort but still packs a punch. For me, it’s all about simplicity – not because I’m particularly fond of the au naturel aesthetic, but because I’m just plain lazy.
The Magic of CC Creams
CC creams, short for color correcting, have become a staple in my daily beauty routine. These miracle workers don’t provide full coverage, but they do an incredible job of evening out my complexion and giving me a smooth, skin-like finish. The best part? They typically require minimal effort and can be paired with concealer for added coverage.
A Holy Grail Product
One CC cream that has stolen the hearts of beauty enthusiasts everywhere is IT Cosmetics’ Your Skin But Better CC Cream. With its buildable coverage, sun protection, and ability to blend seamlessly into the skin, it’s no wonder it’s a favorite among many. And for me, it’s a must-have product that I wouldn’t want to be without – even on a desert island.
A Matte Twist
The original formula, however, wasn’t exactly suitable for those with oily skin. That’s why I was thrilled to learn about the new matte version, IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC+ Cream Oil-Free Matte. This game-changing product boasts the same qualities as its predecessor, including SPF, but with a 12-hour matte finish.
Putting it to the Test
I recently had the opportunity to try out the new matte CC cream, and I was impressed. My pores were virtually invisible, my skin looked airbrushed, and I remained matte throughout the day. The only issue I encountered was with the color – the shade “rich” was slightly lighter than expected. Despite this, I was able to make it work, and the results were well worth it.
Room for Improvement
While I’m smitten with the new matte CC cream, I do wish IT Cosmetics would expand their shade range to cater to deeper skin tones. Additionally, the price point of $38 seems a tad steep for a medium-coverage CC cream.
A New Staple
Despite these minor drawbacks, the IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC+ Cream Oil-Free Matte has earned a spot in my daily makeup routine. Its ability to provide a flawless, natural finish without clogging my pores or accentuating my oily skin makes it a must-have for anyone looking for a low-maintenance beauty solution.
