As the Australian heat beats down, makeup lovers face the challenge of keeping their carefully applied face intact. But fear not, beauty expert Leigh Campbell has the ultimate solution. In a world where the trend leans towards a “skinimalist” approach, BB and CC creams have become the go-to for those seeking a lighter alternative to traditional foundation with added skincare benefits.
However, a word of caution from the experts: relying solely on these creams for sun protection is not enough. Despite their popularity, tinted products do not offer adequate SPF coverage. So, what are the top picks recommended by Leigh and co-host Kelly McCarren to combat the heat and keep your makeup flawless?
First up, the IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC+ Cream SPF 50, a versatile option available in different variants to suit various skin types. For those looking for a matte finish with decent coverage, the Cancer Council Face Day Wear CC Cream SPF 50+ is a reliable choice that won’t disappoint.
For fans of K-beauty, the Misha Perfect Cover BB Cream SPF 42 comes highly recommended for its sun protection properties. If you prefer a lighter coverage, Kelly suggests trying tinted serums like the L’Oréal Paris True Match Nude Tinted Serum or the Revlon Illuminance Serum Tint, both offering a lightweight feel with beautiful coverage.
To ensure long-lasting coverage, it’s essential to layer your products correctly. Start with your regular SPF, then apply your chosen BB, CC, or tinted product. In case of patchiness, a setting spray and powder can work wonders. Understanding your skin type is key to finding the right base, and sometimes simplicity is best. If SPF is already covered, a lightweight tinted serum might be all you need for a flawless look.
With the right products and techniques, you can brave the Aussie heat without worrying about your makeup melting away. So, embrace the beauty of BB creams and face the summer confidently with a flawless finish.
