CC Cream Instant Perfecting Base Natural Finish

This Annabelle Natural Finish Perfecting Base is so beautiful.
I use it for some sheer/light coverage during my Hot Yoga classes. It evens out my skin tone and reduces any redness I may have. I still need to conceal under the eyes, though. If I’m running errands, I set the CC Cream with the Color Control Pressed Powder (reviewed below) for extra coverage.
My skin soaks up the CC Cream nicely, leaving behind a smooth finish. It has that silicone primer feel to it!
Paraben, oil, and perfume-free
CC Cream Instant Perfecting Base Luminous Finish
Cost: $12.99-$15.99 CDN
Available at: Shoppers Drug Mart, Rexall, Walmart
MY 2 CENTS
This Annabelle Luminous Finish Perfecting Base reminds me of MAC’s Strobe Liquid Lotion (reviewed here).
I like to use Annabelle CC Cream the way I used my Strobe Lotion, mixing it with my foundation and/or BB Cream for a healthy, natural looking glow.
You can use it on it’s own for an all over glow or as a highlight, applied with the pads of your fingers or a flat, synthetic foundation brush for better control.
Paraben, oil, and perfume-free
Color Control Pressed Powder
Cost: $12.99-$15.99 CDN

This Annabelle Color Control Pressed Powder is actually quite nice. It feels silky smooth on the skin, and blends into a light, natural finish.
Though, I have a little dryness on my nose because I’ve been sick with a cold and I’ve noticed that the CC Pressed Powder almost emphasizes it but on the rest of my face, it looks great.
I swirl my dense dome brush around the entire pan but you could also use the white powder to highlight.
What I was really impressed with is the fact that this pressed powder is not dusty, like other drugstore powders I’ve tried.
Available in 2 shades, light-to-medium/medium-to-dark.

IS THIS PRODUCT GOOD FOR MATURE SKIN..?MY SKIN IS NORMAL ,NOT DRY OR OILY .ALSO WOULD YOU APPLY THE LUMINOUS FIRST AND THEN THE NATURAL ? LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR ANSWER .
Hi Maureen!
My skin is normal, too and the CC Cream works just fine on me! I use the natural finish as a primer, mostly because I need the extra coverage with foundation. This helps with reduce redness before using foundation and ensures my foundation lasts all day.
I don’t normally use luminous and natural together. Whenever I want an all over glow, I mix luminous with my foundation or I use it on it’s own to highlight certain areas.
Hope this helps!
thanks so much for your prompt reply ..you were a great help..thanks again.take care.
You’re welcome, Maureen!
Thanks for stopping by.
