Makeup gurus are very familiar with the viralIT Cosmetics CC+ Cream($47). But how does it compare toe.l.f. Cosmetics Camo CC Cream($15)? Let’s find out.

PureWow just released abrand-new episodeofWhat the Dupe, a show where we find, test and tell you about ourfavorite beauty dupes. In the installment, Matthew did a wear test with both products to determine which one deserves a spot in your makeup bag.

In the episode (see above), Matthew addressed the elephant in the room. “The number one question is: What the f*** is a CC cream?” he said. “Isn’t it just a foundation? No. It stands for ‘color correcting cream.’ They’re typically supposed to be more lightweight.”

To ensure consistency, Matthew used the same amount of each product. “For reference, I used one pump of this for my entire right side of my face, so a little does go a long way,” he added.

So, was the e.l.f. Cosmetics Camo CC Cream nearly as good as the IT option? Watch the full episode above to find out and keep scrolling for details on both products.
