A true perfectionist, Bobbi created a formula to meet her exceedingly high standards as a makeup artist. Combining her expertise as a makeup artist with her skincare philosophy, Bobbi’s CC Cream SPF 35 delivers a blend of color correcting coverage and high performance treatment benefits in one easy step for instantly healthy-looking, even toned skin. Bobbi’s targeted formula provides more accurate color correction with an optimal shade range to address varying levels of sallowness, dullness and redness. It’s the essential prep step when paired with foundation to achieve a perfect complexion.

What are the benefits of using CC Cream SPF 35?

Bobbi’s CC Cream SPF 35 is a dream cream for achieving healthy-looking skin—this color corrector plus treatment hybrid takes a three step approach to evening out skin.

How many shades is CC Cream SPF 35 offered and what skin tone/type can wear them?

Bobbi’s CC Cream SPF 35 is available in three shades designed to address varying levels of sallowness, dullness and redness for a wide range of skin tones and types: Pale Nude, Warm Nude and Golden Nude.

What’s the best way to apply CC Cream SPF 35?

Using finger tips, apply a thin, even layer all-over the face and under foundation to diffuse the appearance of imperfections, even out skin tone, and provide natural luminosity to dull skin.

Bobbi’s Tip:CC Cream SPF 35 can also be used as a liquid highlighterto create a soft glow over foundation. For an extra hint of illumination, apply CC Cream SPF 35 over foundation on the highest point of cheekbones, which is where light naturally hits the face.

What’s the difference between BB Cream and CC Cream?

CC Cream is a color corrector that’s applied before foundation; it’s not designed to be worn on its own.

CC Cream addresses color correcting treatment needs while prepping skin for the foundation.

When to wear CC Cream: Layer Bobbi’s CC Cream SPF 35 under your favorite foundation when you want to color correct instantly and treat discoloration over time.

BB Cream is a 5-in-1 product (covers imperfections; moisturizes; brightens; diminishes appearance of fine lines; and provides UVA/UVB protection) that gives skin tone correct, medium coverage and can be worn on its own. BB Cream primes and perfects skin with built-in coverage.

When to wear BB Cream: Opt for BB Cream SPF 35—Bobbi’s ultimate 5-in-1 formula—when you want a multitasking makeup and skincare treatment with built-in skin tone correct coverage.
