it Cosmetics CC+ Oil-free Matte with SPF 40 Cream

 I simply adore brands that combine the staying, beautifying power of make up with all the benefits of skincare and it Cosmetics is a brand that has absolutely nailed this combination.

A current favourite of mine that works in just this way is their CC+ Oil-free Matte with SPF40 Cream.

An oil free version of their hero product, this decadent CC cream (which stands for complexion correction in case you were wondering) offers a full-coverage, matte finish, contains an impressive SPF 40 PLUS has been infused with a host of anti-ageing, skin loving ingredients to improve your skins health.

 

 

Winner.

This multitasking must-have works to reduce the appearance of pores and imperfections, reduces redness and creates a flawless matte finish without creasing, cracking or fading.

Oh, and if that wasn’t enough it also helps to reduce shine and control oil production.

 

 

 The rich, creamy formula features hydrolzed collagen to support elasticity and encourage a youthful, smooth appearance, Peptides to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and Charcoal plus colloidal and Moroccan lava clay which absorbs excess oils and impurities thus reducing the look of pores.

Skin will feel nourished and refreshed plus look radiant thanks to tea tree extract and skincare saviour hyaluronic acid plus an age-defying serum which seek to perfect and improve your overall complexion.

The fluid itself if wonderfully thick, creamy and highly pigmented which offers fantastic coverage.

 

 

It glides onto your skin and seemingly effortlessly helps to blur the appearance of imperfections while evening out your skin tone.

Available in a range of 12 different shades it’s easy to get colour matched and the pigments are true to life without a hint of orange.

Once applied it is easy to blend and build coverage as needed or desired and it creates a beautiful, natural matte look free from shine.

 

This ability to control shine is long lasting too as I found myself needing to powder my t-zone far less frequently that I would need to with a traditional foundation.

It feels light and breathable on your skin and while it offers great coverage it doesn’t feel heavy or clogging. It also doesn’t feel or look cakey and stays put for hours after application.

I love using this knowing that it hasn’t just breathed life back in to my face, but that it is also working to actively look after, protect and support my skin too.

 

 

Despite its matte appearance and oil-free formula, it is actually really hydrating and I feel that this quality is what helps it to not flake or look cakey over time.

My skin feels soft and looks brighter and healthier as soon as I’ve used it.

I’m not sure I could ask for much more in a CC Cream!
