The three C's stand for "Colour Control and Change" cream, with the idea being that the cream will provide more coverage than a typical BB or CC cream, and that the cream's initially neutral colour will transition to blend in evenly with your skin tone. The cream is available in 10 shades, ranging from light to deep, and it's also paraben-free, phthalate-free, gluten-free, cruelty free, and vegan.

Ever since no-makeup makeup became a thing, BB creams have been trending. Depending on who you ask, BB creams are short for beauty balm or blemish balm. Whatever the case may be, the goal is the same: To even tone and blur any imperfections in the most natural-looking way possible. It's because of this that BB creams are actually formulated to be skincare-meets-makeup. Made with skin-nourishing ingredients, as well as tone-perfecting pigments, BB creams are able to deliver that ever-coveted "I Woke Up Like This" finish. If you want to treat breakouts without drying out your skin, grab Hey Honey’s CC cream, which contains naturally antibacterial bee propolis. The non-comedogenic formula won’t irritate active breakouts and is hydrating enough to wear like a light serum or moisturizer. Honey, squalene and vitamin E help plump and soften, while medium coverage leaves skin looking healthy and even.

Common complaints about early BB creams revolved around limited shade offerings and overly oily formulas, gaps that the next generation of CC creams tried to fill with expanded shade ranges and natural finishes. “CC creams are multitasking hybrid makeup and skin care products,” says Cynde Watson, director of artistry at IT Cosmetics. That means they’ll wear like a full-coverage foundation, while also feeling like your favorite serums and creams.

Best Splurge: Yves Saint Laurent NU BARE LOOK TINT Hydrating Skin Tint Foundation with Hyaluronic Acid Generally speaking, a little BB cream goes a long way. The size of your tube, so long as it's in the 1-ounce realm, doesn't make that big of a difference. The instances in which it does, however, are when you're looking for the best budget and splurge options. After all, if you can find a larger tube of a high-quality formula for less, it makes it that much more worthwhile. For a flawless, doll-like complexion that combats shine, apply product directly to skin and work into the skin with your favourite buffing brush. Top off with a powder and/or matte setting spray for a beautiful soft-focus skin effect.Ethylhexyl Triazone, aka Uvinul T 150, another new generation sunscreen agent with super-high UVB protection
