The secret to glowing spring skin starts with choosing the right products to create a sun kissed, flawless finish. For a lighter touch heading into the summer months, BB and CC creams, blusher, highlighter and bronzers deliver natural, smooth radiance while protecting and nourishing skin.
Unlock the secret to BB cream
Short for ‘beauty balm’ or ‘blemish balm’, BB cream is your ultimate defense against dry skin while providing a minimalist, flawless makeup finish. BB cream combines the multiple powers of a primer, liquid foundation and concealer and pairs it with a powerful moisturiser and intense skin treatment ingredients to repair and nourish skin. This intelligent beauty formulation protects, hydrates and covers skin making it perfect for anywhere, anytime wear. Apply a full coverage using a foundation makeup brush or damp sponge or with fingertips for a lighter application.
Iconic BB Creams:
- Eau Thermale Avène Day Protector Tinted BB Cream is subtly tinted to suit most complexions and provides relief and protection from external stresses on the skin.
- Shiseido Perfect Hydrating BB Cream SPF30 is a lightweight, oil-free moisturising cream with added sun protection for all day wear. Its unique formulation reduces pore size and smooths uneven skin and skin tone.
Get the skinny on CC Cream
Similar to the lightweight function of BB cream, CC cream known for its ‘colour corrector’, or ‘complexion corrector’ properties, provides sheer coverage slightly denser than a BB cream. CC cream conceals skin concerns including blemishes, pigmentation, dark spots, redness and sallow skin while smoothing fine lines and wrinkles. Opposite colour tones neutralise skin colouration thanks to light diffusing properties which brighten skin. For full coverage use a foundation makeup brush or damp sponge or use fingertips for a lighter application.
Iconic CC Creams:
- Clinique Moisture Surge CC Cream SPF30 with all day sun protection colour corrects red, dull and sallow skin for a range of skin tones, with oil-free hydration delivering a healthy, radiant finish, ideal for everyday wear.
- La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo(+) Unifiant CC Cream is ideal for sensitive skin with 100% mineral pigments masking skin imperfections. Its oil-free, antibacterial formulation clears blemishes while protecting against red or brown marks. Salicylic acid micro-exfoliates while stimulating skin regeneration.
The downlow on Blusher, Highlighter and Bronzer
Blusher, highlighter and bronzer are the finishing touches to finesse every look. From full face application to subtle sweeps with a brush, these are beauty power tools that belong in every makeup kit. Apply on targeted areas like cheeks, cheek bones, brows and the upper ridge of the nose, or contour lightly around the face for a soft, dewy radiance.
