Hello! Hope you are having a lovely day 🙂

Today I want to share my quick review of my current favorite CC cream from the brand Thank You Farmer. If you are someone like me who doesn’t want to apply a foundation/concealer every time you go out yet you want a dewy glow and even tone, then you are going to love this. I am talking about the luminous CC cream from Thank you Farmer. I exactly don’t remember what CC creams stand for, most probably color corrector but anyway they are a multipurpose product. It can be used as a strobing cream to get the dewy glow or get some color correction or even to conceal some dark spots. So, here is my review on how the Thank You Farmer Luminous CC cream performs across all the categories.

About the Brand:

Thank You Farmer is a Korean skin care brand that believes in creating products that focus on pure and honest ingredients. This brand is cruelty-free and vegan and all products are hypoallergenic. I am sure most of you have already seen their viral sunscreen stick. I am going to review that soo to.

Price and Quantity:

The retail price for the 40 ml bottle is INR 2719 but it is available right now on Nykaa at a 20% discount which makes it Rs 2175.

Product Description:

My Take on the Thank you Farmer Luminous CC Cream:

Packaging: This BB Cream comes in in a shimmery pink plastic bottle with a sleek black pump. The bottle is so sturdy that I mistook it as a glass bottle. The pump is precise to get the amount you need. The packaging is really stylish and looks premium. It is easy to carry around your handbag.

Ingredients: I don’t consider it as a skincare product. This is obviously a makeup product but these days I am seeing a lot of brands are coming up with makeup products that do a double duty as a skincare product too. This is also similar. However, it contains denatured alcohol which strips off our skin of the natural oil of our skin. So, that’s a minus point. It has SPF 30++ which can give you a certain amount of sun protection but definitely it is not sufficient to replace your sunscreen. Still it is better than nothing. I would give it some points for the attempt to make it a solid multipurpose product. It contains fragrance but it didn’t bother my nose. It also contains Mica which gives that slight shimmering effect which I usually don’t like but it is very subtle in this case. Overall, I would say treat it as your any other makeup product and cleanse your face thoroughly to remove all the residue at the end of the day.

Texture and Finish: When I first took out the product it exactly looked like any other foundation and the texture is somewhat thicker than usual BB/CC creams. I apply it with a damp beauty blender. It helps to give the natural glow and don’t make my face look cakey. If you blend it really nicely (and you have to be quick because it kind of sets quickly), you will get that even looking, smooth dewy finish. It stays like that through out the day. Doesn’t make my skin look extra oily or greasy at all. Still if you are worried you can use a setting powder to tone down the shimmering effect. It will set off to a beautiful satin like finish.

It somehow doesn’t blend well when I try to apply it with my finger tips or a foundation brush. So, my recommendation will be to try it with a damp beauty blender. Also, don’t forget to prime your skin up before applying this or you can simply mix the CC cream with your moisturizer. It will help to blend this CC cream really well and give you a very naturally glowing smooth finish.

Coverage: This gives medium coverage to fade the small dark spots if you are using just one pump. If you are looking for a full coverage then you may need a little more to apply it to the targeted areas.

Shades: Unfortunately I didn’t find any other shades for this Luminous CC cream. Not sure if they are just not available in India or they just made only one shade. This is really for people with lighter skin tone and it can make your skin really ‘white’ if you go overboard with this product. So, you need to find the right amount for your skin complexion and also blend really well to get the desired impact ‘your skin just better’.

Overall, it works for me to just quickly get an even toned glowing skin before I step out. I can use it as a tinted moisturizer or even as a highlighter as well. Doesn’t make my skin look oily and stays on for a whole day. But, as of now I can see only one shade which is really unfortunate. So, this is not a blind buy. If you find it in a store, please try it out before buying.

Hope you found this review helpful. Have a nice day 🙂
