BB Cream: Are You Ready For CC Creams?

iFiona CC Cream

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the amount of BBs entering our market, hold onto your hats, because it won’t be long before we are deluged with next-generation BBs in the form of CCs. CC stands, apparently, for Colour Control, but no doubt different brands will adapt this initial description to whatever they want. So, what does a CC bring to the party that a BB doesn’t? Good question. I’m still working it out for myself but it seems to be a BB with extra coverage and extra skin nutrition with a lighter texture and a higher element of SPF than BBs have. I’ve mainly seen them on Korean sites so far, and the one pictured above from iFiona contains EGF as its ‘extra’ but a certain prestige brand is bringing one to market (called Complete Correction Cream) any second and where they lead, others usually follow.

Don’t say you weren’t fully warned!

  4. Oh god make it stop Jane! I’m not sure I can handle yet another product that needs understanding….saying that though, sounds pretty good so I’ll inevitably hop, skip and jump on to the bandwagon as per usual.. xx

  5. Thanks for the heads up…being a step ahead with this trend is a beauty blogger prerequisite!

    i have a feeling this is just a marketing ploy whether korean or not. we talking about tinted moisturisers.

  12. OMG! not the CC’s. Am I the only one who is thinking these creams/foundations are sounding like bra cup sizes?

    Chanel has a CC cream that’s Asia-exclusive for now, but no idea if it’s going to be out in the rest of the world. Deets: http://maddyloves.wordpress.com/2012/03/16/chanel-cc-cream-correction-complete-cream-spf-30-pa/

  14. CC Creams existed for quite some time already, they’re definitely not new!
