Before & After Photos
I am using shade Light Neutral which gives me a really nice and brightened result.
Annoyingly, I forgot to take my after photo before I put on the rest of my makeup, but the only other thing I have on my skin is the REESON Blush in Fresh Rose*.

My Review
Although I am really more of a glowy finish kind of girl, I have to say there are times when I appreciate a soft matte formula, especially in the summer time. The idea of a natural matte, is all about a natural looking skin finish, that isn’t flat, and as I like to use other products to give me glow, I find they can really work for my combination skin.
This is certainly the case with the IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC Cream Natural Matte SPF40. Applied over my Vitamin C serum and SPF50, it still allows a natural looking radiance to the skin yet has a soft blurring effect on pores and texture.
A little goes a long way because the formula has satisfyingly high coverage, and it tackles redness and uneven tone swiftly with minimal effort. I use my REESON No. 1 Brush* to buff and blend and it works perfectly with it.
It lasts really well on my skin, and feels very comfortable and light. It really is a great option for the warmer weather, especially with its SPF40. Although having said that, I don’t need to use that much product to get the finish I want, so I make sure I use my proper dose of SPF50 underneath.
All in all, I am very pleased with this.
