How do I know what my makeup shade is?
Take a good look at the veins on your wrist under natural light for an easy way to determine your undertone.

If they appear blue/green or match your skin colour, you most likely have neutral undertones.
Do you wear primer with it Cosmetics CC cream?
If your CC cream lasts well throughout the day, it’s best to skip the primer. However, if you have large pores, you might want to use a smoothing primer to avoid makeup from settling into your pores. Using a mattifying primer under your CC cream is also a good idea if you have oily skin.
Do you wear moisturizer under it Cosmetics CC cream?
In general, it is always a good idea to moisturize your skin before applying any makeup, whether it’s a CC cream, foundation or concealer.

Other reasons for cakey foundation include dry skin, not layering your makeup correctly, and not using the right skin care products. Skipping out on exfoliation is another factor that can cause cakiness. Always make sure you prep your skin by exfoliating and moisturizing to help makeup go on smoothly.
Do you need primer with it cosmetics?
I’ve found that even without a primer this CC cream goes on smoothly and won’t crack or crease over the course of the day. And even though it gives solid coverage, I don’t have to go back in with a sponge to blend out streaks or chalkiness. It’s a liquid formula that blends really easily.
Is CC cream the same as primer?
“All three of these — BB cream, CC cream, and tinted moisturizer — can technically be used as a primer.” So, for those of you who wish for a bit more coverage, you can actually use a BB, CC, or tinted moisturizer under your foundation, and it will be just as effective as a base.
What is the best way to apply CC cream?
Use the 5-dot technique.
Use your middle or ring finger to put five little dots of cream on your face – on your chin, on your nose, on your forehead and on your cheeks. Distribute them evenly when you apply them, so the five dots should be about the same size. No need to smear them just yet, that’s coming up next.
If you use a cream-based foundation or a BB or CC cream, apply your foundation first and your concealer second.
What brush do I use to apply CC cream?
Whether you are using CC cream alone or still plan to put on foundation, use a large, circular makeup brush to buff your skin and ensure all the product is evenly distributed.
Can I use both CC cream and foundation?
To help balance skin tone, makeup artists recommend using CC cream as a base underneath foundation. Then, use a small amount of foundation to conceal any problem areas.
