... i would reccomend this cc cream only to people which are having almost to none blemishes whatsoever. The coverage is very light ! It does admittedly a great job fo evening out imbalances in the skin tone, f.e. red "zones" to neutral ones will be the same. But thats about it. If you have blemishes, you will need to use concealer, and maybe even foundation. I tried the cc cream out as a base to my fluid foundation as well as my mineral compact powder - it worked well with both. As i, as a northern european, find the cc cream a bit too shiny for my taste, i use as a minimum a transparent matte powder above it - just to take the, for my taste extreme, shine away. The colour itself is quite alright. So neutral that i think most fairer skin types will fare well with it. At the moment it is winter and with that, thanks to the heater, really dry air. This cc cream is like dipping your skin all day long in a pond. It stays and stays moisturized ! For this i am not totally unhappy to have bought this product. Thanks to my blemishes and the for me too strong shine though it was a one time deal. I will not repurchase it altough overall it is not a bad product. It wasn't just the right one for me.
