Recently when I went to the drug store to buy a CC cream I got my hands on this amazing product called lakme 9 to 5 complexion care and color transform cream. I had never used it before it was my first time, not only with the product but any CC cream. The main reason I wanted to buy a CC cream was for everyday use at work.
The CC color transform cream comes in a common CC cream packaging. it comes in a pink cardboard box with all the details. even though the dispenser of the tube is quite small, it dispenses the right amount of the product.the product is decently priced and I like that it is really travel friendly.
Shades: this cream is available in two shades. beige and bronze. I know that these shades are not enough to suit every skin type but luckily the bronze shade matched my skin tone. the beige shade is for light skin toned and the bronze is for a dusky complexion. this shade, Bronze looks pretty good on my medium toned skin. it blends really well on my skin but has a medium coverage leaveing your acne and, spots or pigmentation visible. when you first apply it it looks like a normal fairness cream but when you let it sit for a while you will see that the color is absorbed into the skin and it blends and gives a really natural look to your skin. it has a really creamy texture and glides really easily onto t he skin.
It proves a smooth and dewy finish. the cream if not applied in consistency looks patchy and dry. it is of utmost importance to use a moisturizer or sun screen lotion under the CC cream to prevent dryness or patchiness and to give your face an even toned look. it has the properties of a hydrating cream that makes your skin soft this cream is really good for dry skin if applied over a moisturizer. if you have an oily skin type then I recommend you not to use a moisturizer under it because that will make your face melt during the day and it will look really cakey. In such cases you need to set your face with a a compact powder.
this cream provides a sheer coverage that should be good for daily use. this cream can not conceal uneven skin tone. it will just help your face look brighter and hide some imperfections, not all though! so if you need a fill coverage look I would not suggest this product for you.
One great thing about this product is that it has a SPF of 30 PA+ so it works well as a sunscreen lotion too.
PROS of this product:
1)medium coverage for daily use.
2)gives a soft and smooth skin tone
3)Has SPF 30
4)bendable and gets absorbed into the skin
5)does not look cakey
CONS of this product:
1)does not hide discoloration of skin
2)Available only in 2 shades
3)cant even out the skin.
At the end I would like to say that this product is fairy good but not that great . You could find better products in the market at the same price that would be worth the money spent. So know your skin type weigh the pros and cons of this product and only then go ahead and purchase it.
