I have been ditching foundations from many years unless I have to attend a function or I must skip wearing SPF better photographs. I like to wear BB & CC creams more because they are handy & have a lot of skin benefits. They are better in moisturization, texture & finish than foundation, I feel. The shades are not techie. Why not choose a BB/CC Cream over a foundation then? today I will be talking about Faces CC Cream which is a new addition to my BB stash.

Ingredients
Shades
Available in 2 shades – Natural & Sand.
For light – wheatish skin tone one should go for Natural, while Sand is for dusky skin tones.
Packaging
The Faces CC Cream comes packed in a black matte card box with all the product information printed over it. Inside the card box, there is a black slim tube with a narrow opening. The packaging is classy, leak proof & travel friendly.
Fragrance & Texture
Faces CC Cream has a bit of chemically but mild fragrance, which goes away very soon. Texture wise it is just in between Garnier BB Cream & Lakme CC Cream. It is not thick as Lakme CC Cream and not as runny as Garnier BB Cream. It has just the perfect consistency. It is high on moisture level. You would not need another layer of moisture using this cream during summer no matter what kind of skin type you have. The texture is ultra smooth & feels very nice to rub in.
My Experience
I really got confused between the two shades of the CC cream. They are very alike. I got Sand because, I already use Lakme CC cream in Beige, which is bit lighter for my skin tone. I thought about mixing the two & yes it worked.
The cream offers nice moisture level. Without even wearing any moisture beneath I can layer this CC Cream which is a nice thing. I like the smooth texture that this cream offers. It blends into my skin beautifully & leaves behind matte finish on my oily skin. But this cream does not keep my face matte for more than 2 hours like Lakme CC cream does.
The CC creams has SPF 20 which is fine if you are staying indoor, but if you are going outdoor, please layer a real sunscreen. I wish I had picked up the lighter shade, I would have been able to wear it more.

Summary : 4/5
It is a nice CC cream for Dry-Normal skin types during summer. It does not provide much coverage though. It would basically even out the skin tone. It is affordable. If you do not have things to conceal on your face, you can go for it for it’s beautiful texture.
