The Face Shop Oil Control Water Cushion Review And Ingredients Analysis

I recently joined BB Cosmetics Bloggers program & I reached out to BB Cosmetics about trying a couple of products. One of the items that I was keenly interested in is The Face siêu thị CC Oil Control Water Cushion My Other Bag, as I like CC’s ~ they are totally different from BB creams ~ I had seen the other versions of ultra moist và intense cover, but since I have oily skin, I wanted lớn try the oil control version.

The Face shop CC Oil Control Water Cushion My Other Bag

The Face cửa hàng collaborated with My Other Bag ~ an eco-friendly brand which makes premium canvas totes with hand printed “designer” bags on them ~ and produced 3 different types of CC cushions using their designs based famous designer bags. They have three different types of My Other Bag CC Cushions. All of these will brighten your skin tone, provide UV protection as they have SPF50+ PA+++ and have hyaluronic acid lớn help with anti-aging and plump up fine lines & wrinkles.

I actually prefer CC creams over BB creams as they are more màu sắc correcting & brightening, more lightweight in texture và traditionally, not as dewy as BB creams. They also melt into your skin, enhancing not covering up your natural skin tone, they shouldn’t oxidize ~ turn orange ~ & rarely do I see them give off a grey cast. I have seen CC creams that were very pink, however.

Ultra Moist and Intense Cover come in three shades ~ V103: Pure Beige, V201: Apricot Beige & V203: Natural Beige.

Oil Control only comes in two shades ~ V201: Apricot Beige và V203: Natural Beige. I am not sure why, but really ~ since I find that Korean CC & BB creams several shades (light, lighter and a whiter shade of pale) that aren’t that different, I really don’t see major difference. One might be a bit more pink toned, another more golden, but they are very similar.

As I have oily skin & I really vì not want heavy coverage, I went with the Oil Control version và I chose V203 as most Korean facial products are way too light for me. For reference, I wear Mac NW20 as a finishing powder & Jouer Matte Moisturizing Tint in Nude. I have a warm cast to my skin, but am also very ruddy around my T-Zone. BB Cosmetics has a warehouse in the United States, so I received my item very quickly

The CC cream comes in a dễ thương canvas drawstring bag, with the same print on the front as My Other Bag’s tote version. The back of the bag has name of the purse, so you know which tote bag this is referencing. This is really well made và the canvas material is a good medium weight.

This compact is very nicely made ~ the thiết kế is not sitting on vị trí cao nhất of the lid, but it under a hard clear plastic top, so that the thiết kế will not rub off easily. The base of the compact is in a golden màu sắc and even the puff has the My Other Bag X The Face Shop inscription.

This has a nice sized mirror & the both the outer lid and inner lid snap shut without popping mở cửa (Innisfree, I am giving you the side eye here..) The CC cream is warm toned và is a bit more yellow than my normal skin tone. The texture is feather weight và it dries down quickly to a matte finish. I did not notice any scent that was strong or unusual in this product.

Arrghh, the selfie. I have to be more comfortable doing them ~ I am not, but I know it is really helpful to lớn actually see a sản phẩm on a person’s face, not just swatched on the hand. Lippies and eye shadows are okay to swatch on hands and arms, but foundations are tricky ~ what looks good on the hand might just be a disaster on the face! So, on the left, this is a freshly washed face and I have already applied all of my skin care products. You can see that my cheeks & forehead are more warm with hyper pigmentation và the pink ruddiness around my nose và chin.

Annnnd, the scary photo on the right is with 2 applications of the CC Oil Control cushion. This really gives great coverage và I think that 2 applications is too much for me. However, I vị not feel lượt thích I am wearing heavy makeup at all. What else am I wearing in that photo? On my brows, Berrison Oops! Dual Tint Brow in 01 Dark Brown (courtesy of BB Cosmetic), Clinique High Impact Extreme Volume Mascara  and e.l.f. Beautifully Bare Smooth Matte Eyeshadow in Blushing Rose on my lips ~ yes, this is great as a lip color (see my review here). My eye màu sắc looks darker because I am looking slightly downwards and not directly into the light & into the camera. I wouldn’t just wear this as is, I would add a blush và eye shadow to lớn complete the look.

This CC applies smoothly without tugging and isn’t sticky. It applies initially with a glowy-dewiness that worried me, but it dries down lớn a matte/satin finish that reminds me of a finishing powder. The coverage is medium-high and it really tones down and evens out my ruddiness and covers blemish spots and hyper-pigmentation. Since the coverage is more dense, I don’t feel like I am patting my life away with this cushion, which is one of the main reasons why I am not normally a cushion fan. This was quick khổng lồ apply and not a lot of “pat, pat, patting”. The finish is a bit flat & two dimensional because this is a matte product và it is a bit drying ~ & if an oily skinned person tells you it is a bit drying, that is telling you something! I was surprised to find that it was drying around my nose area, which is normally my most oily area on my face ~ however, I am thrilled it is not a dewy sản phẩm as Korean skincare is all about the dew. However, if I have dry patches, I will have to địa chỉ some moisturizer, otherwise, it will be flaky. This is supposed khổng lồ be a sweat proof formula và I did run some water over my hand with the sản phẩm on it ~ the water did bead up where the cream was applied, so I suppose that it is sweat proof (or at least somewhat water proof)

The shade is a bit light for me, but once I apply blush and Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette ~ which I totally recommend ~ it gives matte finishes some dimension ~ I was able to warm it up a bit. It holds onto its matte/satin finish for a couple of hours before the oil breaks thru again on my nose, forehead và chin và I didn’t need to reapply the actual màu sắc until after 5 hours. Even though this is a drying product, it did not cake on my skin when I did a touch-up. It doesn’t oxidize, so I didn’t turn into an Oompa Loompa và there is no grayish cast to this product.

Final Thoughts

I am really impressed by the formula & coverage from The Face Shop CC Oil Control Water Cushion. It really covered my skin imperfections without a heavy feeling ~ it is very lightweight that I don’t even notice that I have product on my face! This CC Oil Control does control oil fairly well, but as most oily skinned people will tell you, the oil always wins in the end, so you will have khổng lồ touch up và blot. However, I loved the matte finish và finding matte finishes from Korean brands is that proverbial needle in a haystack! The compact is really nice as well ~ I would have liked the Ultra Moist design, as I love greens, but this one is fun and fresh looking. The Oil Control Water Cushion is for oily skin, maybe normal khổng lồ oily. If you have dry skin, I would say that you should try Ultra Moist or Intense Cover instead.
