The cult-favourite CC cream is adored by makeup artists and the general public alike, as it really does give you a “your skin but better” finish. Unlike heavy foundations that make you look overly perfect and almost mask-like, this high coverage CC cream blends in perfectly with your skin, diffusing imperfections and leaving you looking radiant. Not only is this a beautiful makeup product, but it also cares for and protects your skin while you wear it with it’s hydrating, anti-ageing, SPF 50 formula.

Infused with hydrolysed collagen, peptides, niacin, hyaluronic acid, antioxidants, and vitamins it instantly gives your complexion a boost while reducing the appearance of wrinkles and dry skin over time.

While you can never beat the real thing, at £32 it is more of an investment than your regular CC cream.
