Review & Swatches: O.C.C Crème Colour Concentrates


If there’s one thing I’ve learned as a makeup artist: When working on photoshoots, creme is your new best friend. Creamy products make your models look like angels, hopped onto the #120 flying bus to earth. Where powder can look cakey and lose its power on picture, with cream what you see is what you get.

One of my favorite brands O.C.C came out with twelve new Creme Colour Concentrates: A smooth, blendable, buildable creme coverage product that’s gorgeous on eyes, lips and cheeks or wherever saturated, creamy colour is desired..
