- So summarizing the illumination formulation.
I'm now making up my own words.
Hi everyone, welcome back
to the Adore Beauty YouTube channel.
My name is Megan.
I'm part of the Social and Content team
and I'm also a makeup artist.
Now, today we're gonna be going
through one of our most popular CC creams onsite.
The it cosmetics, my skin, but better.
So stick around to see which one might be good for you.
Okay, so before we jump into the actual CC cream itself
I just wanna speak about CC creams, BB creams, Foundations
and what the difference is between them all.
So you've probably heard BB creams
and CC cream spoken about interchangeably.
Although they're similar, there is a difference.
So BB cream actually stands for Beauty Balm or Blemish Balm
and basically they aim to offer skincare benefits
or skin loving ingredients
that can be things like hydrating ingredients
such as hyaluronic acid or vitamin E
or they can even just offer sun protection.
So the main aim of a BB cream
is to offer skincare ingredients
with a little bit of a tint.
So you're not really getting heaps of coverage out of it
but you are getting skincare that makes your skin
look that little bit better.
Now onto CC cream, so these stand for Color Corrector
or Complexion Corrector
and they are very similar to a BB cream
in that they have skin loving ingredients,
however they offer a lot more coverage
so you're looking at more of a medium to full coverage.
This is because they're looking to kind of blur hide
or conceal skin imperfections
such as darkness, pigmentation, redness, et cetera.
Now you might be wondering if a CC cream offers medium
to full coverage and has skincare benefits,
what's my foundation doing.
Historically foundations have only focused
on color ranges, coverage and finishes.
However, as formulations have improved over time
you will often find skin loving ingredients
in your foundation as well.
So you might find hyaluronic acid
or vitamin E in your foundation.
However, that wasn't always the case
which is why we had three main categories,
BB creams CC creams and Foundations.
Okay, now on to the CC creams.
Wooh! so I'm just gonna go through the main,
I guess, dating profiles stats of these
so that you can get to know it straight off the bat.
So they are $63 each for each little tube
you will get medium to full coverage from these.
And there are three different finishes depending
on your skin type and your finished preference.
Now let's move on to shade ranges.
This is probably the only downfall that I can pick
out on this range in the original and modifying formulas
you will find 14 shades to choose from.
And in the illumination version
there are five shades to choose from.
So these CC creams, combined skincare ingredients
with SPF protection and full coverage
they've been formulated by dermatologists
and plastic surgeons and they've all been clinically tested.
So you know that you're gonna be getting a product
that is tried and tested.
So the reason why we're doing a deep dive
into this range today is because
it is one of our best sellers.
But if you want it to say other best-selling Foundations
from our site, then just click here.
Cause I already did a video on it.
Okay, so first off we have got the original formulation.
I'm actually wearing the original formulation today.
As you can see, it gives a lot of luminosity
but it does just give you that nice natural finish.
Now this is great for anyone with,
I would say normal to combo skin.
However, if you have dry skin
just make sure that you prep your skin
with really hydrating products underneath.
That's what I did today.
The thing that I love most about these products
is that even though they offer that medium
to really full coverage
they feel like nothing on the skin.
It kinda just feels like you're wearing
a heavy moisturizer or a serum.
Skincare wise this formulation contains niacin,
antioxidants, peptides and collagen.
So you know that your skin is gonna be looking
its absolute best.
So it has got 50 plus UVA UVB, physical sunscreen in it.
So whilst this has SPF 50 in it
it is always recommended to use a standalone SPF
underneath any foundation to ensure maximum protection.
So of course always wear SPF
and if you can try and follow the sun safety steps
for ultimate protection.
So the next formulation is the illuminating version
of the CC cream.
And this is one of my favorites to pop on my mum.
So she has got super dry skin.
So obviously this is great for anyone with dry skin
and it leaves your skin looking completely hydrated,
radiant and glowing.
Of course, just like the original formulation.
It has niacin collagen, antioxidants
and peptides to make sure
that your skin is looking at its absolute best.
And just like the original formula
this also has SPF 50 as well.
One of my favorite things about this particular formulation
is how hydrated my skin feels when I wear it.
Summarizing the illumination formula
this is great for anyone with normal to dry skin
that loves a radiant jewy finish.
And before I forget it offers medium to full coverage
like all of them.
Now, when I refer to the coverage of these CC creams
I'm going to say medium to full coverage
because of course it depends on how you apply the product.
You can always manipulate it to be sheerer or fuller.
So I'm always gonna say medium to full.
However, for some people this will just
be straight out full.
You glow, girl.
(upbeat music)
And last but certainly not least
we have the oil-free matte formula.
Now this has been made with the oily skinned folk in mind.
It aims to mattify and detoxify the skin.
So as we just said,
this is great for anyone with combo to oily skin types
that are prone to oiliness and shining as throughout the day
it'll give you a completely matte finish
so you won't have to worry about that 4:00 PM shine.
So like all the other formulations
this offers a full coverage whilst working to reduce shine.
This formulation contains collagen, charcoal, peptides,
tea tree and antioxidants.
It also has SPF 40 UVA UVB, physical sunscreen.
So if you're looking for reduced shine and a matte finish
and you have oily to combo skin, this is the guy for you.
So when it comes to choosing your shade in this range
it is made up of three main undertones,
cool, neutral and warm.
You'll know that you're a cool tone
if your skin throws off hues of red or pink.
You'll know that you are a warm tone
if your skin throws off hues of peach, gold, and yellow.
And you know that you're a neutral tone
if your skin threes of hues of yellow and pink.
So that concludes our deep dive
on the itcosmetics, CC cream range.
I hope that you learned something
