Foundation cream is one of the most important components of every modern woman's makeup bag. Agree, sometimes it’s so unpleasant to see an extra pimple or bags under the eyes on your face … And it’s good that almost all the flaws can be removed only with the help of a tonal foundation and correctors!
Looking at the variety of tonal bases in cosmetics stores, you involuntarily understand that it is very easy to stumble upon low-quality products. It is extremely important and quite difficult to choose a cream that suits your skin type and tone so that it does not roll, does not stand out with orange spots on the face and does not cause allergic reactions. If you are still looking for "your" foundation, pay attention to the products of the company "Mary Kay".
Mary Kay has always been famous for the quality of its cosmetics, and the CC cream, which this article is about, is no exception.

Despite the fact that the collection has only three shades of the product - light, medium-light and medium-dark - it looks perfect on any skin and seems to adapt to your individual complexion.
