HERA CC Cream Review :)

 

Lately I've been wanting to try CC creams so today I wanted to review the Hera CC Cream, which comes in two shades:

• 01 Pink Beige for pink understones
• 02 Natural Beige for yellow understones

Instead of the BB creams we all know (or should know since it's been out on the American market too LOL), the CC creams has more skin care ingredients; however, it has less coverage than a BB cream (bummer). 

 Hera's CC Cream is also known as the 'Photoshop Cream' as it's suppose to give you a "natural airbrushed finish". 

For packaging, it comes in a plastic tube with a pump at the end and a cap (as you can see in the picture). I really love the simplicity of the packaging. As usual there is a pump so no need to fear of bacteria or anything (bonus points for that!). There is a fragrance you pump it though, it isn't strong nor unpleasant (as least to me) but I did notice it when I first tried it. The smell will go away though no worries. :)

**Review Time**

I ordered this in shade 02 natural beige.
Again for a reference I'm NC20-NC25 range.

For my first cc cream, I'm really impressed with Hera. For my somewhat oily/combo skin, it does hold pretty well although I do have to use a finishing powder to set it or my oils really will seep through. 

It does have a moisturizing effect and doesn't give off an "oily" appearance when you apply it unlike most BB creams (I still have to use a setting powder though).

I've tried this CC cream for about 3-4wks and so I still switching my primer around to see which will make it last longer without getting me oily. So with primer and powder, I think on average it took about 6 hours for my skin to start getting oily so it did last me till I was done with classes (YAY!).

But as you can see you can still see a tiny bit of color from my veins. CC creams doesn't have a high coverage as the BB creams. So on my face it doesn't cover all of any redness I have (like around the nose), so I can either use concealer or dab a tiny bit more over the area. But as for acne scars or pimples, I would suggest you use concealer. It doesn't cover my undereye circles that well either (trust me mines are horrible LOL).

NOTE: I do have to warn you that I reccomend using a primer under the eyes before putting a primer under the eyes or it may cause a tiny bit of creasing.

Overall, I would buy this again. 

I'm also waiting till I try other CC creams.
