CC cream dramatically changes your morning makeup routine this spring. Tip number two: Apply foundation after CC cream. This spring's evolved powder foundation leaves skin with a smooth, beautiful texture. It's perfect for formal occasions, parties, and other special occasions. By letting a radiant glow show through underneath the foundation, you can maintain a youthful look even when wearing a sharp suit. Even when wearing a top or dress with a high neckline, the finish evenly balances the skin tone of your face and body, creating a healthy look without appearing overly made up. For added protection, apply CC cream to your neck and décolleté when wearing high-neck clothing. This powder foundation, featuring cutting-edge technology, creates a mature, radiant complexion without obscuring the healthy glow of CC cream, creating a radiant complexion perfect for formal occasions. ■ Clé de Peau Beaute Tampoudre Eclat
This foundation contains a new powder developed from the optical properties of cutting-edge computer simulations. It uses all types of light transmission, reflection, and diffusion to create a high-tech effect that makes the skin appear as if it is covered in a layer of light. Applying it with a brush rather than a sponge produces a more airy, youthful finish.
