CC Creams are wonderful at this time of year, when you don’t want to go into full-on foundation mode.

But personally – sticking our necks out here – this updated Chanel CC Cream Complete Correction SPF50 is the best we’ve ever used. (Though it does come with a Chanel price-tag.)

It works dreamily as a make-up primer. But the skintone-evening effect of the product (CC, as the title suggests, stands for ‘Complete Correction’) means that you may be able to get away with no foundation at all. Or at the very least less of it.

It boasts an SPF50 – yes, 50! – and features vitamin C-rich murungu plum, for its antioxidant action. Plus: with a ‘new form’ of hyaluronic acid, it’s wonderfully skin-plumping, leaving skin almost juicily moisturised.

As if that wasn’t enough, there it even comes in five shades of beige – matching most complexions, while correcting them.

In this case, ‘CC’ also stands for ‘Clever Chanel’.
