Brightning CC Serum Color Correction Face Primer (N2.5)

I live in Miami Beach, and this matches my skin tone perfectly it gives me a healthy glow, and also makes my skin so soft.

I watched a beauty YouTuber preview this product on her channel. I was blown away by the beautiful, glowing results. I purchased the Brightening CC Serum in the shade Sunny Flash #4. This cc serum comes in a 1 oz glass, pump bottle with the light scent of fresh roses. I recommend gently shaking the bottle and then applying to prepped skin, I had to work in sections as the formula dries quickly. The 2nd time I used this serum, I added it to my makeup to apply it more smoothly. I don't usually self tan, & the color Sunny Flash #4 was a bit orange on my light-medium winter complexion. I suggest picking a color that serves your personal beauty needs. My next purchase of this serum will be a lighter shade to mix with Sunny Flash. I do recommend this product.

I bought this product because I was looking for an everyday alternative to foundation. I also love By Terry so I thought I couldn't go wrong. The product is nice, I don't mind the smell and it looks great as it provides light coverage, some colour correction and a healthy glow. However, this only lasts about 20 minutes on my skin. After that, it starts separating quite badly (photos are 30 minutes after I applied the product). I thought maybe I got a faulty one so I tried it at the store but the same happened (even the make up artist commented on it). I also tried it with 2 different primers and same problem. I do moisturise and do skin prep bore applying it too. I am so disappointed. I really wanted to like this product but ended up wasting a lot of money on something that I can't use.

This looks good on some people. But not on me. Its very watery and doesn't sit right on my face. In fact it looks awful. I have tried it with a brush, sponge and with my hands

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product has changed beyond recognition from a luxury expensive rose smelling product with a subtle pearlescent sheen to one of tack and cheapness which would not look out of place in well known economy stores. Immaculate light shade appears to have changed to yellow. The bottle has lost its classy appearance of delicate gold lettering highlighting the designers name to be replaced by harsh black lettering loosing the feminity I always associated with the brand and it cheapens the whole experience of “By Terry” products. On application I found the product drying and just didn’t feel like the luxury product I have used in the past.

Right...so the product itself is great, really light and definitely gives you a gorgeous but subtle glow without having to pile on the highlighter. For that it's worth the price, however... I'm not sure if I've been unlucky but the packaging hasn't been great for me at all, hence the 4 stars. Immediately it was really messy and the lid doesn't stay on properly meaning the bottle itself just constantly looks a mess. I can't really take it anywhere with me because of this, and it's such a shame because I do really enjoy using it. I am hoping I have just been unlucky with it because I would love to purchase more By Terry products.

I was hesitant at first to buy this as I have never tried it before and due to lockdown it was impossible to get a sample. But I've heard great reviews - and still with the price tag it was hard to commit to something that you dont know whether or not it would work on you! one day they had a discount so I took a leap and so glad I did. The texture is so smooth and your face just instantly glows. I am a makeup addict and I have to say it made my makeup 1000% better and I have tried lots of other upper end primers. and when you take your makeup off too, it leaves your skin look healthy.

I bought the Sunny Flash last year and, whilst I loved when I was tanned for summer, it only really worked occasionally because it was too dark for me. I bought the Apricot shade just recently and tried mixing the colours which works fantastically well. Having woken early, I used the Baume de Rose Face Mask, the the Serum and topped that with my chosen mix of the day - see above - and was stunned at the result. I am way past 29 at the age of 74 but my skin looks fresh, smooth, hydrated and, actually, young! A little dusting of Hyliaronic powder ( again lightly mixed with a shaded powder) to finish off. The skin also feels incredibly soft and I am hugely enjoying the rose scented cloud around my head.
