CC Cream Lightweight Foundation Medium Coverage - Light 1 fl oz

I've been going through primers, BB and CC creams like crazy over the past 6 months trying to find something to fit my needs. For me personally that meant: redness reduction, pore tightening/hiding, fine line hiding, and a smooth surface for my mineral powder make-up to adhere to. I have combination/sensitive skin with redness in the cheeks and nose, so it's not pretty to look at without make-up. I've been using mineral make-up since 2006, and recently added paraben-free natural cleansers to my regimen as well to help prevent the sensitivity and irritation. The redness and itchiness has decreased, but there is still some redness that isn't covered well enough by powder mineral make-up alone. Add to that that I'm now in my mid-30s, so my skin is beginning to show the signs of aging--fine lines, some dark spots, the laugh/frown lines, etc. and the mineral make-up isn't as flattering, long-lasting, and airbrushed looking as it was 8-9 years ago. I've tried L'Oréal, Avon, Ulta brand, Palmer's Eventone, Missha M BB Cream, a primer from a mineral make-up seller I use, but they all had issues. Some have silicon, so as I apply the mineral make-up the silicon starts to roll off. Most have parabens and other bad chemicals in them, most don't do enough to cover the redness or tighten the pores or fine lines. After buying another dud from Ulta (Catrice Prime and Fine), not two weeks ago, I decided to give Amazon a shot and see what they have. It's hard sometimes because I'm very conscience of the chemicals, that most options I have to reject out-right. I decided to give Lumene Time Freeze CC cream a chance. It's my understanding that perhaps I was asking too much from a BB cream or primer, and needed something more along the lines of "Color Correcting" (CC). This Lumene product really fits my top needs: the redness correcting (and it's not even green!), tightens/hides the pores, fills in the lines, and it makes my mineral make-up last twice as long. It doesn't rub off as fast (especially around the nose and mouth). I'm light skinned with a cool to neutral undertone, and this blends in absolutely perfectly with no yellowness or brassy copper tones. A light goes a long way; a tiny dot will cover one cheek completely, and it doesn't feel heavy at all, which is one benefit to mineral make-ups--it feels so light and breathable you forget you have make-up on. It covers even my poor skin so well, that I'm actually using far less mineral make-up than before, and my morning routine is now maybe 10 minutes faster, since instead of layering green color correcting mineral, then the pore hiding mineral, then the foundation, then the veil, I now just use the CC cream, do a dab here or there with my green corrector where there is a tiny bit of pink, then a quick buff all over for the foundation (skipping the pore hiding mineral completely), and another quick sweep with the veil. For those of you who have better skin than I do, I'd expect you could easily wear this as foundation alone. I definitely recommend this, and I will definitely buy this again when I start to run low.

Wonderful!!!!!

I'm 28 years old and I'm lucky enough to have this lovely skin combination: constant hormonal acne, very pale, eye wrinkles, dark eye bags, uneven skin tone and freckles! I generally wear "light ivory" foundation, if I'm tanned (ha-ha) then I may be able to pull off "ivory" foundation. My skin is currently as pale as it gets and I find this to be a near perfect match. I have very milky-colored skin, subsequently about 85% of all foundations, bb creams and cc creams I've ever bought tend to make me look either really orange or sometimes bright pink. This one actually works very well with my white skin, if i'm being picky I'd say it makes me a tiny bit pink but it really is a very good match overall. As for the acne, I find this greatly reduces the appearance of my zits, It hides most of the redness and I generally don't need any concealer unless the zit's are particularly bad. I've been using it for months and I haven't found it to cause any breakouts or worsen my acne at all. It evens out my skin tone beautifully and makes my freckles less visible. it doesn't completely mask them but I think that makes it look more natural. It's quite good at concealing dark eye bags, most days I don't even need concealer to hide them. It's very lightweight and you I can barely feel it when it's on, doesn't feel cakey at all. The only downside: It has a very matte finish, which I find accentuates my eye wrinkles, sadly.

I saw an ad and decided to give it a try. This product is amazing, it doesn't look like you have on make up, yet it covers small flaws and evens out my skin tone. I highly recommend this product.

I started using Lumene when I lived in Finland. It’s an economical beauty line with products that combine natural ingredients and hi tech. The CC cream goes in easily. Blends well. Covers but looks natural. I also esp love the C glow cream and the vegan collagen serum.

Warning. Wall of text coming. So I previously used Stila CC cream ($35ish, recently discontinued) and set with Laura Mercier Mineral Powder ($40ish, online only now). Since my holy grail products were discontinued and becoming too expensive I decided to try to find a replacement. I went back to Sephora to get a replacement and was disappointed and returned what I got. Stumbled upon the brand Lumene, saw it had good reviews and decided to try it out, only $14 why not. I was pretty blown away. I purchased "light" nervously hoping it wouldn't be too light based off previous reviews but I guess I am pastier than I imagined because the light is a perfect color for me. It blends into my skin very well, I apply it with a brush, then even it out with a beauty blender. The application only takes a few minutes and looks amazing. It was important to me that I have a simple, fast, product that gives me a natural look. This really is it. Probably the most important thing for me is that even after 5 or 6 hours it still looks fresh. Some makeups kind of separate on your skin after your oils work their way out and mix with the product (kind of gives it a camoflauge pattern of makeup in pores and creases sorry not the best description but I think you know what I mean) but this does not!! I don't even have to set this with a mineral powder because it looks so nice alone. I'm beyond impressed for a $14 tube, especially with how easy it is to apply. It really covers acne scar redness well, but doesn't do too much for dark eye circles, but that's not why I bought this. I bought it for redness so in that aspect I am very pleased. A few things about the photos posted: 1- my camera makes the worst look worse and the best look better. so the before and after is accurate, but remember that. 2- the product on my hand was not rubbed in, it was just what was left on my hand after i applied with a brush. It looks much smoother rubbed in and almost disappears. The main point of that was to show how light the light really is, considering a lot of the negative reviews talk about how it was too light, I thought an actual photo of the cream could help. 3- all that's on my face is the CC cream. No moisturizer or blush or additional product. Only the CC. So in the end my $14/ounce tube from amazon is replacing $80+ of Sephora products and gives me an equal, if not better, look. I'm writing such a detailed review because I was SO disappointed my Stila CC cream was discontinued I thought I'd never find such a good anti-redness CC cream....until now!

If you have oily skin, this probably isn't the thing for you, unfortunately. I absolutely love Lumene products for their high quality and gentle formulas, but this one wasn't made for me. Other reviewers are right, this CC cream does not have any orange tones. It is also not shimmery like other BB creams can be. I first used this product right after I had a baby, when my skin was flawless, greaseless, and naturally perfect. I was amazed with how my skin could look even better after using this CC cream. I was in love. After a few months when my skin went back to normal, that's when the truth came out. My skin is normally oily and I break out from time to time. When I used this on my back to normal, oily skin, it basically just slid around on my face on top of the oil under it. Yuck. It didn't last me through the day at work and it didn't look good by the end either. This might work better for me in the winter months when it's colder and drier outside. So, in short, if you are oily at all, skip this product. I also have the Vitamin C Illuminating BB Cream from Lumene in Light and that is a much better product for me, even with my oily skin. Give that a try instead.

The perfect makeup. If you have redness in your face you have to try this. It’s amazing!!!
