CC cream guide
How colour correction in a base works, and when it beats concealing.
Written by Lamyaa Aissi, professional makeup artist, Casablanca. Part of the Foundation & Base guide.
When to use it
When redness, sallowness or uneven tone is the main complaint rather than blemishes.
On Moroccan skin, in a Moroccan climate
The distinction matters here: Moroccan skin is more likely to present unevenness of tone than redness, so the correction wanted is usually warmth rather than green.
The rule that runs through every product on this site: check undertone, not just depth. Most Moroccan skin is olive or golden, and a neutral or pink-based product greys within the hour however precisely the depth matches. And for any long event, set in thin successive passes rather than one heavy layer — accumulated product slides in coastal humidity, while product laid down thinly stays.
What it will not do
A wedding. Neither BB nor CC replaces foundation for a fourteen-hour photographed event.
The most common mistake
Choosing a corrector by colour theory alone. Test it on the actual skin — theory over-corrects constantly.
