Holaz everyone!
Today, I’m reviewing a product which I have loved off lately.
Product description:
The next generation of foundation! Combining -THE COLOUR CORRECTION OF A FOUNDATION + THE SKINCARE ACTION OF A CREAM. Thanks to its 3 colour correcting pigments that smooth away imperfections –APRICOT pigments > anti-fatigue | GREEN pigments > anti-redness | WHITE pigments > anti-dark spots24 hr hydration, SPF 15. Result: luminous complexion & flawless skin in one step.
My experience with it:
I had purchased Bourjois CC cream some 4-5 months when summers were at peak in Delhi. At that time, it failed miserably on my super oily skin. It made my oily skin oilier. I kept it in my base products drawer and took it out some two weeks back. In this pleasant weather, it has been working nicely on my combination skin.
– Bourjois 123 perfect CC cream comes packed in a plastic tube with a nozzle dispensing the product.
– The texture is runny and light weight. It sets onto skin with just a few taps.
– Properly moisturized skin is a must before its application as it tends to emphasize dry patches.
– It provides light-medium coverage. With a buffing brush, it provides a straight away good medium brush.
– True to its claims of correcting pigments, it actually does cancels out redness and pigmentation on my face to a good extent.
– It evens out face nicely.
– It has a satin finish (not matte and not dewy, in between) and brightens up face real nicely.
– With its claim regarding oil control, I don’t agree. As I wrote in the beginning, it just did not work for my super oily skin. Only now when the weather has changed and my skin has got in combination mode, it works well. I use blotting paper a little later now with it on my face but there isn’t a considerable difference.
– It has SPF 15. Quite low but it is enough for my ten minutes of daily travel to office in early mornings.
– I have also used it as a base under L’oreal True match foundation, Kryolan supracolor and Inglot foundation and it works fine. With some other foundations like Lakme White Intense skin cover foundation, it did not match up well and formed little spots. I’m not pinpointing any fault here, but just pointing out in general.
I forgot to take the swatch picture for showing the shade. I’ll update the post in a day or two.
If you are looking for a low-medium coverage everyday base product which also imparts glow to face, you should surely give this a try! Just ensure you get the right shade.
