There’s something less intimidating about using a CC cream versus a foundation, once you find the correct shade. With Neutrogena ® Clear Coverage Flawless Matte CC Cream’s acne-friendly full coverage and with 34 shades – our most extensive line yet – you’re sure to find the perfect match. But note that Wnek says that many people do not apply enough CC cream to meet the SPF value on the packaging, so to be safe, she suggests wearing a separate sunscreen under your CC cream anyway.To blend, I used a damp makeup sponge with minimal effort and was able to spread the product evenly on my face in a matter of seconds.

It’s far more sheer on the skin, but it still helps to even out your skin tone and let your natural complexion shine! If skin redness is your primary concern, some CC creams come in one sheer green shade, which acts to neutralize the red color.

To find your perfect shade, it’s imperative to first figure out your skin tone and undertones and check the product against your neck and décolletage, says makeup artist Jillian Dempsey. She goes on to share, “to see my name, ‘Yoli,’ on the shade that matches my complexion means the world to me. If you want to use the product all over your face, put 1 dot on your forehead, 1 on your nose, 1 on your chin, and 1 on each cheek. CC creams also pack in other ingredients, such as anti-aging serums, antioxidants and additives to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and hyperpigmentation.
