Bourjois

Really pleasantly surprised by this foundation! I had read lots of glowing reviews but always assumed this was only for dry skin - but I'm combo skin & this works really well especially with light dusting of powder (MAC MSFN or LM translucent loose). I wear 52 at the moment which is probably between NC15 & 20 and will buy 51 for the winter. Really good price & nice natural look but still some coverage for my sleep deprived new mum skin!

Great brush that sits in horrendous formula!!!
The •brush itself• gives amazing length & separation, it's actually perfum quite well.
As for the formula goes- gooey, clumpy mess! If you're already own this try to reuse it with a different formula, than it can do wonders.

I was at first confused by both the City Radiance and the CC cream - I bought them based on reviews as I was looking for something light and everyday. I was particularly keen on the high SPF of Radiance.
At first I thought CR was too shiny for my more mature skin, and CC made me look green grey. I was ready to chuck both of them away. Then I tried CR with a different moisturizer - (Muji - the anti age one) - which is thicker and more matte and CR looked perfect. I was wrongly using it with light watery creams.
For best effect I finally realized that if you first use one layer of CR and the CC cream on top, you get the best of both with one counteracting the shine or color of the other. It still feels very light and natural. Try it this way.

I have combination skin and have a few blemishes on the t-zone of my face. I live in a hot and humid country. This is my first cc cream so I can't compare it with other cc creams. I love cc cream because it has color correctors and it has spf so I don't have to spend extra time layering sunscreen underneath it especially when I'm rushing to work. The coverage is medium, and it has a natural finish and the colour matches my skin. However, I notice that after 8 hour, it does oxidise a little bit. Plus my t-zone is a bit shiny after about 4 hours of using it. And it transfers! Still thinking whether to repurchase considering that it's much cheaper than the IT cc cream!

OH MY, i love this foundation!
I have sensitive, acne-prone, combination skin - oily T-zone with dry patches on chin, and this is the only one that works. Also the tone for me ("Vanilla") is just right. Anyways, I have tried many foundations before and they either were too light or too heavy, made me break out or were too drying. This, however, gives me natural coverage that is not too noticeable (people often are surprised I tell them I am wearing foundation), last me well during the day ,getting just a bit oily in my T-zone as I have oily skin there (duh) and I do not use any powders, and lastly, it does not make my dry patches worse and does not break me out more.
I try different things but keep coming back to this one all the time!!
