[Review] Lumene CC Color Correcting Cream

When I happen to come across a good face product I jump on it like a cat on a mouse.  My latest love has been Lumene’s CC Color Correcting Cream. Yeah,,,yeah…I think everyone talked about BB and CC creams last year but you need to hear about this one.  So many I tried were overly greasy, had not so great coverage, or were the wrong color.

I first sampled this from a NewBeauty TestTube kit and have since purchased a tube which can be found at Ulta.  The claim on the package is that this makeup is a 6-in-1 that will give SPF,  will be long-lasting, will illuminate, act as a primer, conceal, and works as a foundation that can easily neutralize redness.

So many of those reasons listed on the box ring absolutely true in my mind when I use this stuff. For one, we all need SPF. I like that it’s already in the makeup and not yet another layer I have to apply and wait for before moving onto my next step.

It is 100% true that this is long-lasting.  I usually put my makeup on around 6 or 7am and take it off around 6 or 7pm at night.  When I use a makeup wipe you see it all come off. And I highly suggest using makeup wipes FIRST before cleansing because this stuff has staying power and you don’t want this stuff sitting in your pores cooking up a storm overnight. Ahh, the double-edged sword of long-lasting makeup. Well worth the extra wiping in my opinion.

On days where I feel like using one of my foundations this does work great as a primer.  I think you should wait five minutes to allow it to “set” before doing anything else, but I do like how it gives my skin a fresh canvas of even color.  That also ties into the fact that it has pretty good concealing action also.  I get redness around my nose, lips and any acne breakouts.  With those areas I take my makeup sponge and dab a little extra of this CC Cream and it works wonders.

And on days when I want to go quick I can actually just go straight for the CC Cream, skip the foundation, and still get great coverage that I feel looks natural, but evens out all the blech you feel at  times. I like that it’s semi-matte because 100% matte makes my skin look too dry by the time I put blush and bronzer on.

I would suggest going light at first with this cream, a little really does go a long way and if you put too much you will see that it will not “set” and feel oily.  If I feel I put too much in one area I use a dampened blender sponge and pick up some of it to remove just the right amount.

Lumene CC Color Correcting Cream retails for approximately $14.99 at Ulta, but I have seen on Social media that it sometimes goes super on Sale at drugstores like CVS or Walgreens so I hope to catch wind of that next time I need to purchase.
