I haven’t been into cream compacts too much because they usually give me more coverage than I need, but I am totally behind Clinique’s new Moisture Surge CC Cream Compact.
It got a “wow” from me right after I applied it!
The compact cream goes on so smooth, and that’s because of the emollients in it – it’s part of the “Moisture Surge” line so it’s moisturizing rather than being oil absorbing. That being said, it sets to a satin matte finish and just stays put on the skin.
So why the wow factor?
Well, it really does colour correct. One swipe and you can say goodbye to redness, dark spots, and an uneven skin tone. This compact does it all and makes your skin look amazing without giving it too much coverage. It’s light-weight and feels like nothing on your skin, and if you do want more coverage on problematic spots, just dip your finger into the compact, and dab on to areas that need more attention.
Also, it’s perfect for the summer because it has SPF 25.
Available in six shades, $42 at the Clinique counter.
