I originally only bought this CC cream to get the Finishing Spritz (also by Australis) when there was a deal going. This is a purchase I'm very glad to have made.
It's a nice medium to full coverage CC cream that really does cancel out redness and brightens the skin. It dries to a nice matte finish, I was a bit afraid this would dry out my skin but the formula is actually very hydrating and improves my skin. By the end of the day when I remove this, my skin is soft and hydrated. The longevity of this product is pretty good alone, but can last for 10-12 hours (not that anyone needs to wear it for that long) when set with a good powder.
My only problem with this is the shade selection. I chose the colour 'Dark Natural' which has the perfect depth for my asian NC37 skin, but it is far too pink. Due to the full coverage I can't really hide the undertone of the product. I have to set it with a powder that's very yellow or mix it with a yellow foundation.
I absolutely love this product and the way it works with my skin. I just never reach for it enough since I'm always in a rush and can not be bothered to mix it. I would love to see Australis bring out warmer toned shades of this.
i absolutly love this CC cream! i used to only use foundation or BB cream but i will never look back! i have combination skin and find it really hard to find a foundation that doesnt make the oily parts of my skin more oily or dry out the dry areas of my face more either. this product works well for both. i used to pay up to $70 for foundations and powders now all i use every day (and night sometimes too) is this CC cream. in combination with a primer and an illuminating shimmer cream its all i need. my whole day is made easier because i know that it stays on and looks great too.
Tips: i use a blending sponge to apply my CC cream and it seems to go on smoother than using a brush
