This Annabelle Natural Finish Perfecting Base is so beautiful.

I use it for some sheer/light coverage during my Hot Yoga classes. It evens out my skin tone and reduces any redness I may have. I still need to conceal under the eyes, though. If I’m running errands, I set the CC Cream with the Color Control Pressed Powder (reviewed below) for extra coverage.

My skin soaks up the CC Cream nicely, leaving behind a smooth finish. It has that silicone primer feel to it!

Paraben, oil, and perfume-free

MY 2 CENTS
This Annabelle Luminous Finish Perfecting Base reminds me of MAC’s Strobe Liquid Lotion (reviewed here).

I like to use Annabelle CC Cream the way I used my Strobe Lotion, mixing it with my foundation and/or BB Cream for a healthy, natural looking glow.
You can use it on it’s own for an all over glow or as a highlight, applied with the pads of your fingers or a flat, synthetic foundation brush for better control.

This Annabelle Color Control Pressed Powder is actually quite nice. It feels silky smooth on the skin, and blends into a light, natural finish.
Though, I have a little dryness on my nose because I’ve been sick with a cold and I’ve noticed that the CC Pressed Powder almost emphasizes it but on the rest of my face, it looks great.
I swirl my dense dome brush around the entire pan but you could also use the white powder to highlight.

What I was really impressed with is the fact that this pressed powder is not dusty,  like other drugstore powders I’ve tried.

Available in 2 shades, light-to-medium/medium-to-dark.
