DERMABLENDContinuous Correction CC Cream SPF 50, 25N Light

I have mature skin and had seen this foundation reviewed on YouTube and thought I would give it a try. I chose 25N which is supposed to be a neutral colour. I was excited to try it. So disappointing! First of all the colour is orange and oxidised to even more orange. It is supposed to be lightweight but it is not. My Estee Lauder Double Wear is lighter weight than this and that is saying something. This product immediately sunk into my pores and fine lines even though I had used a good quality poreless primer. It was hard to blend because it was so thick. About 10 minutes after removing it my face was red and puffy - I do not have sensitive skin and this is the first time I have had any sort of reaction to a foundation. It is several hours after removing it and my face is still red and puffy and very sore. I am returning the product.

I am a senior citizen and female. I just cannot find any concealer that even covers my dark circles. The other problem with concealers is that they settle into the tiniest undereye wrinkles and fine lines. I've tried a hundred products - no exaggerations! - and every one I've tried, whether $5 or $200, did not begin to cover that deep blue-black color on and underneath my eyes. They all did a magnificent job of amplifying the tiniest fine lines and wrinkles in that area, though! I'd apply a light touch of moisturizer first, then apply a concealer. The wrinkles and dark circles were just made more visible. I'd not apply moisturizer, and still, the dark circles remained, and the wrinkles were more noticeable. I went looking for a CC cream to find a solution. The only one that stood out in a good way was this Dermablend CC Cream. I don't apply moisturizer before applying this wonderful cream, and my dark circles were greatly diminished with just one coat. I use 2 to 3 coats and blend it well down to the very top of my cheekbones so that it blends very well into my foundation for a seamless finish. This has the added bonus of SPF 50. I I use 2 different CC creams: for undereye circles, I use one that is about 2 shades lighter than my skin. Next, I apply the shade that matches my skin tone to the rest of my face, ensuring that the two different colors blend in seamlessly together. With the thinner viscosity, this foundation is wonderful to build the amount of coverage that is suitable for your needs. It is not moisturizing at all. It goes on smoothly and I find that I have some time to add more coverage and to blend the light shade and the darker shade when they meet at the top of my cheekbones. You can use your fingers, a makeup sponge, and/or a foundation brush to apply. All work well. Just do not use a large foundation brush; it will waste product and blending is impossible. A smaller brush with dense, short bristles/hair is the best here! The ease of using a small brush in the smaller areas of the face around the upper nose, inner eye corners, and under the eyes is exceptional! The CC cream is in a small tube - about 4 inches or 10 cm - and the tip is very small; it is tinier than an eye dropper. It's 30 ml or 1 ounce; it is the reason why a large brush doesn't work. If you have normal to dry skin, you may want to apply some moisturizer to your face. I tend to have an oily skin; but, a little moisturizer to the face before applying the cream will work well. As for moisturizing under the eyes first, I find that even just a tiny amount of moisturizer there invites the lines and wrinkles to show. If you have acne scars or melasma, you can build up the coverage layer by layer until you have coverage you're happy with. I highly recommend this foundation/CC cream!

This would have to be the best brand and product for great coverage. Dermablend is and has always been my number one for foundations. Nothing else matches the flawlessness, non greasiness, no scent, and great coverage this brand has. For it to come with 50+ now its the best in the market i think.

Most Dermablend products are intended for full coverage and this one is no different. As a CC cream product I’d hoped it would be a little thinner and more silky. It tends to sit on top of the face and doesn’t last for more than about 6 hours. I don’t think I would ever buy this again.

I like this CC Cream for its coverage. However, it is thick and I have to mix it with moisturizer so that it goes on smoothly. It only takes a very small amount. I bought it in part for the high sunscreen protection, but found that it takes so little I don’t think it provides enough protection so I still put my other sunscreen on under it. I do think it covers blemishes and dark spots well, though not completely. I would buy it again.

This foundation covers blemishes pretty well, however, as the day goes on it's kind of dry looking on the skin. I've read this is the case with CC foundations. I'm older though, 55, so maybe on young people it wouldn't be a problem.
