I love a light makeup base for everyday. Sometimes I even skin cc or bb cream as they tend to feel heavy, and go out only with a light layer of powder on. I hate when makeup feels heavy and don’t wear foundations unless there is a wedding or event to attend. Recently I got my hands on the newest launch – Lakme 9To5 CC Color Transform Cream. I have tried and liked the previous CC Cream by lakme and thought of giving this one a shot as well.
Packaging is simple tube with rose gold cap. Nothing too fancy but looks better than the previous one.
Shades – Lakme 9To5 CC Color Transform Cream is available in two shades – beige and bronze. Beige is for fairer complexions and bronze is for medium/dark. The formula is white in color and adapts to your skintone. You can see grey-ish pigments in the cream that changes color when rubbed on the skin ! Bronze suits my complexion and doesn’t look ashy.
Texture & Formula – Lakme CC Cream has cream texture which blends into the skin seamlessly. I really enjoy the formula as it is light weight and non greay (at least on me). It imparts a healthy glow without being shimmery. I find it moisturising enough to skip additional moisturiser underneath.
It has a nice fresh scent that doesn’t stay on for a long time. I can skip applying powder but girls might have to dab some powder to get rid of shine. I have acne prone skin but it didn’t break me out.
Coverage – Lakme 9To5 CC Color Transform Cream offers light coverage. I can see it evening out complexion to a good extent and it takes way the dullness. For blemishes and scars a concealer might be required.
It is a good product everyday use, working women or college going girls since it has SPF 30 PA++ and looks natural.
Staying Power – On my dry skin without a primer it stays on for 4+ hours, depending on the weather conditions.
Lakme 9To5 CC Color Transform Cream is priced at Rs 325 for 30 ml

Overall Thoughts
A good light weight tinted cream that offers natural coverage. Lakme 9To5 CC Color Transform Cream is perfect for work or college since it looks natural. It smells fresh and doesn’t leave a white cast. It comes with SPF 30 which is good for daytime. The formula blends immediately and stays put for good 4+ hours on me.
