The Comparison You Were Looking For...
Like you, I was searching for a less heavy foundation to wear every day–you know, something that still has minimal to light coverage but doesn't look too 'heavy baked.'
Amazon of course recommend me to two products: (1) CG Smoothers and (2) CG Clean Matte BB Creams. So I bought both and compared, so you don't have to...
Please note, I'm a 30 year old mom still suffering will occasional breakouts and uneven skintone. Nothing new, just life...
I normally wear the following;
- Revlon Colorstay foundation in 150, Buff,
- Revlon Colorstay Powder in 830, light/medium
- Maybelline FitMe Powder in 110, Porcelain
1) CG Smoothers- 805 Fair to Light
The consistency of this product is really smooth and light, more moisturising than tinting. Very light coverage, a little goes a long way, but also doesn't feel heavy on your face. I love that the color is true and doesnt oxydize. You definitely however need a setting powder to refresh every now and again. (4.5/5 stars)
2)CG Clean Matte BB Creams.
It's a very dense BB cream, it's similar consistency to sunscreen, heavy. It also has a very heavy sunscreen odor to it too. However it's medium coverage and very matte—keeping your face shine free all day.
It's not very blendable, and you need a lot of product. Please note: this product does oxydize and gets darker. (3/5 stars)
