Let’s be real. Unless your Beyoncé, you don’t claim #iwokeuplikethis until you do a few minor tweaks before walking out that door. And wearing a full face of EXTRA longwearing, EXTRA high coverage, EXTRA #flawless foundation in this summer heat sounds all too silly.
Hit the snooze button, because we are giving you an insider guide to BB and CC Creams that can make your morning routine work smarter for you – and change your life!
Before we run you through our favourite picks, there is something to remember. Just because BB/CC Creams contain moisturising and treatment ingredients, doesn’t mean you can’t combine it with your favourite serums or moisturisers. If you skin is particularly on the dry side, you can still give your skin that usual hit of hydration before you apply your BB/CC Cream. The option is yours.

It gives the skin a delicious dewy finish and coverage can be built up to a medium cover. Not to mention, it has an extra high SPF50+ protection! Fans rave of its skin-like finish and with a dab of your favourite concealer in the inner centre of the face, it can provide the same finish as a foundation!
