The first CC Cream I got interested into was Tony Moly Luminous Pure Aura CC Cream. I saw the advertisement video, Min Hyorin looks stunning there, as well as JYJ 😀 I really wanted to got myself one after seeing that video and finally I got one from BNTNews (^0^)/
Ingredients:
Water, Cyclopentasiloxane, Phenyl Trimethicone, Titanium Dioxide (Cl 77891), Ethylexyl Methoxycinnamate, Zinc Oxide (Cl 77947), Cyclohexasiloxane, Glycerin, Dicaprylyl Carbonate, Butylene Glycol Dicaprylate/Dicaprate, Niacinamide, Methylpropanediol, Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 Dimethicone, Cyclomethicone, Sodium Chloride, Beeswax, Sambucus Nigra Flower Extract, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Centella Asiatica Extract, Prunus Serrulata Flower Extract, Nymphaea Alba Flower Extract, Rosa Hybrid Flower Extract, Nelumbo Nucifera Flower Extract, Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil, Salvia Hispanica Seed Oil, Portulaca Oleracea Extract, Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil, Acacia Seyal Gum Extract, Squalane, Sorbitan Isostearate, Pentylene Glycol, Methyl Methacrylate Crosspolymer, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Tribehenin, Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Dimethiconol, Aluminium Hydroxide, Stearic Acid, Dimethicone, Polyester-1, Silica Dymethyl Silylate, Triethoxycaprylysilane, Ethylhexyglycerin, Adenosine, Glyceryl Caprylate, Butylene Glycol, Ethylexyl Palmitate, Ceramide 3, Retinol, Linoleic Acid, Tocopherol, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Dilinoleic Acid, Linolenic Acid, Cassia Angustifolia Seed Polysaccharide, Cholesterol, Propylene Glycol, Sucrose Palmitate, Polyglyceryl-10 Oleate, Oleic Acid, Tocopheryl Acetate, Caprylyl Glycol, Brassica Campestris (Rapeseed) Sterols, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Sodium Hyaluronate, Hexylene Glycol, Ethylhexyl Salicylate, Disodium EDTA, Phenoxyethanol, Potassium Sorbate, Fragrance (Parfum), Iron Oxides (Cl 77492), Mica (Cl 77019), Iron Oxides (Cl 77491), Iron Oxides (Cl 77499).
The packaging is simple. Dominated with white colour and black cap but somehow still attractive to me. Maybe because of the “Pure Aura” words that are sparkling. 😀
It comes in pump type which is better than jar packaging. But sometimes it’s still difficult for me to control the amount that is pumped out so I just pump it slowly until I get the amount I want.
This CC Cream comes in white liquid. Some of you maybe surprised of this fact but don’t be afraid, that’s because of CC Cream has color adjusting formula. See that tiny gray beads in the CC Cream? When it contacts with skin, it is supposed to self-adjust to our skin colour.
The texture of the CC Cream is not too thick nor too watery. It’s easy to blend. In the left photo, I just started blending it. Then after a few moments, the white colour started to adjust with my skin colour (as you can see on the right photo).
And the finish is dewy as I’ve expected from the name: luminous. The dewy is not too much, it’s perfect to show your glowy healthy skin. ^^
Let’s move to the important part: coverage.
(just click to enlarge if you feel it’s not clear enough 🙂 )
This CC Cream provides very sheer coverage. It helps to cover redness on my face but still the redness can be seen. As for blemishes or acne scars, it doesn’t help at all. But it helps to awaken my dull face. 🙂
It gives very minimum coverage on redness and acne scars.
For people who needs medium coverage like me, using this CC Cream as base is a good option. With this CC Cream as base and BB Cream on top of it, makes my
face looks more flawless and dewy ^^
What I like:
dewy finish
easy to blend
stays all day long
feels light on skin
subtle floral scent
What I dislike:
sheer coverage
Actually I am still a bit confused with the concept of this CC Cream. I was hoping that it will be better than BB Cream in terms of coverage, skin care, etc but in the end I can’t use this alone and still need BB Cream. That’s why I give it only 3,5 stars.
But for people who already have good skin without having to hide any imperfection, this CC Cream is a great choice to look dewy and bright like Korean star.

hmmm brarti mendingan bb cream yah buat covering
I felt the same way when I tried my first CC cream! It was nice and brightened my face but didn't do much when it came to coverage. I am still figuring out the CC thing as well… 🙂 Excellent Post!

Nice review. When I saw the first reviews on cc creams I was dissapointed, too. Funily the western CC creams seem to provide more coverage and look more like asian BB creams to me…on the other hand western BB creams tend to be more like tinted moisturizer or similar to asian CC creams…confusing….

good review! thank you 😀
you think it will look good on darker skin tones? ><"
even though this cc cream didn't provide good coverage,i still want it. 🙂
I got this yesterday and I absolutely adore it. Now that I finally have my skin looking pretty nice this is perfect. You look nice with CC cream + bb cream 😀

iyaaa, blm ada yg ngalahin yg face shop wi.. 😀
makasihhh, mengikuti saran2 dr yg komen d giveaway hahaha :p
oh really? so western cc creams is the reverse of asian cc creams? interesting fact 😮
thanks for the info, Fraulein ^^
yes i'm quite confused with the concept of CC Cream, so far my favourite is Face Shop Aura Color CC Cream ^^
thank you :3
iyaaa klo covering mendingan BB Cream shan, ini lebi cocok jd primer gituuu 🙂
Hi Shayu, hmmm.. I don't think so.. Maybe I will try it on my friend's hand who have darker skin tone and I'll update you later, okay? ^^
yes, the luminous effect is quite good, i think we all hypnotized by the advertisement words 😀
It's great that your skin is good so you can use this alone 😀
Thank you, Laura! ^^
Thanks for reviewing this one !!
Maybe, if you try before the CC Cream, a base, like the etude house choux base in Mint to conceal redness, and on top of it you apply the CC Cream, I guess it would look as good, dewy and flawless as if you had just applied BB Cream. Maybe, you can try like that 😉
I'm still waiting for my order to arrive so I can try this, but if you decide to experiment like this, please let us know 😉
I like the dewy finish, but it's definitely too sheer for me! I'm sticking with my beloved bb creams ^_^
tetep prefer ke bb cream.. jelas banget ka reviewnya ^^..
This CC cream is quite sheer so if you're going for the bare look, I'd say it works pretty well. Otherwise, stay with BB cream if you're looking for something with more coverage.
Have you noticed that it's white but once you remove it, it's a tannish in color? I swatched some on my hand the other day and when I removed it with a cotton pad, it looked like I had just wiped off BB cream or foundation. Interesting!
You've got tons of great reviews on here!

yeah, they said cc cream is couldn't give any good coverage like bb cream.
but i still wish to buy this cc cream. hihi.:D
btw, nice review. 😀
yes, this one will just be my primer ^^
Hi Natassha..
I don't apply base before this CC Cream to know the coverage of it.. If I apply base first, then if I look flawless, it's not because of this CC Cream right? 😉
Thanks for reading ^^
Pretty bare face, ^^ seems like some cc creams are really well suited for people with fair skin huh :/ using only 1 face product and go out still sounds too good to be true for me and I thought cc cream could make it happen but apparently not yet for me xD great review by the way and thank you for this ^^

i really aiming for a cc cream ~ and so far i think CC cream from Hera and Tonymoly are the best … but i know about the little coverage thingy .. so must apply bb cream again for a better coverage … hemmmm
thank's for another nice review ~ it's making me more interested with this product ~
Oh, thank you for review. I thought it would be good for my skin, but unfortunately I've got combined skin type and my nose gets oily very fast( That's the main problem!( Even with all the Korean matte stuff: Skinfood peach serum, Innisfree transparent powder, etc. Now I'm searching for light CC cream with some matte effect.
Thank you for your post!
Aaaaaah dengan coveragenya yg cuma segitu aku nggak pede make itu tanpa bb cream >.<
