I’m just going to tell you right now, I absolutely adore this product. I’ve had one color or another over the last two years but I never wrote a review because I just was not blogging at the time. Now that I’m back to blogging, I want to shout the products I love from the rooftops and this is one of those products.

It comes in squeeze tube form but it is a squeeze tube with a pump. This makes it so much easier to control how much comes out compared to other tube foundations you can get, high end or drugstore. When I first bought the CC+ cream, I did it online and purchased ‘Light’. Boy was I off. Luckily, I figured out that if I left my Beauty Blender a bit more damp than I’d prefer and I was able to sheer it out to make it work because I loved everything about it but the color. I was able to get the right shade, ‘Fair’, at IMATS LA and I love it even more now. I put on a full face of makeup with this base so you can see how it makes the skin look healthy and gorgeous. I would say that this CC+ cream, for me, is medium and can be built up to full coverage. Others say that it is a light buildable to medium coverage. It really helps to smooth out the skin and tone down redness with the first pass of the product on the face. While I do still use concealer, I use a lot less of it when I use this product. Here’s the before and after.
