disagree  Ivana UK: foundation cream is fondotinta in Italian. Maryrose - it just means cream-based foundation (I ran a web search and this seems to be its only meaning - at least nowadays!!)

  -> scusi,sono un uomo !=-non dimentica questo !
neutral  maryrose: I thought fondotinta was foundation as in make-up, whereas foundation cream is an old-fashioned term for what we would probably now call moisturiser? Or am I too old/young and have got this all wrong? Genuine question not criticism!

fade cream


Explanation:
Perhaps they are referring to a facial cream that 'melts' away imperfections, blemishes and age spots, such as a fade cream. The Google references are limited for 'crema fondente' so I may not be clear as to the type of cream.
Or, perhaps it's a simple reference to the consistency, as in 'quick-absorbing':

"........ A light, quick absorbing yet very effective cream, enriched with lanolin and Vitamins A, D and E for nourishing and protective care"
This seems a bit vague as a 'type' of face cream, though.

blending cream/cream blend (vedi sotto)


Explanation:
anche se l'uso della parola "blending" sembrerebbe quasi riferirsi alle istruzioni per fare una torta, mi sembra il termine che si addice di più.

Nel dizionario ho trovato:
TO BLEND: ['blendιd] letter. blent [blent] v.tr. e intr. mescolare, mescolarsi; mischiare, mischiarsi (di tè, tabacchi, liquori ecc.); fondere, fondersi; armonizzare:
