IT COSMETICS CC CREAM NOT Full Coverage

beautyq — Wed, 05 Mar 2014 18:11:09 GMT

I tried the medium and the tan (though I'm probably between both in shade). Both of them look fine on me but this is NOT full coverage to me. I guess I have too much scarring. I used the Real Techniques expert face blush to apply it and my hand.

Any other application tips to make it full or better coverage? I do like the feel/finish of it and I love the high SPF.

I use this with concealer and a good powder. Maybelline Age Rewind powder is good. The setting powder I use is cornstarch with a touch of BE peach and pink matte shadow in it. No matter what I use I like applying the powder with a puff and then brush the extra off. I also use the CC at night since it has many good properties and I have dark spots that drive me crazy.

I use a BeautyBlender and get full coverage.

Diane Mary (YouTube) uses it under Tarte Amazonian Clay foundation. While that seems like a lot to me, she gets full coverage from the combination. She has a video of that combo on youtube right now.

I don't feel it gives enough coverage either and it is too moisturizing for my skin. I do like the Bye Bye Undereye concealer and the Celebration Foundation which I was using with the CC Cream. I also have the Bye Bye Redness Cream and feel that gives alot more coverage and is more matte. I like Serious Skincare's (on HSN) CC Cream better than IT Cosmetics because it gives more coverage and has a satin finish.

I agree, it is not full coverage. It has about as much coverage as other CC creams that I have tried. I use the IT Celebration over it and only need a little bit.

It's a makeup sponge. Google it for reviews, tutorials, etc. Lots of dupes are available, but all the reviews I've found say that they aren't quite as good as the original Blender.

It is an egg-shaped sponge that you wet, wring out and then put a dot of foundation on it and bounce it all over your skin. It does all the blending for you! I find that if I apply foundation with a brush, I end up with too much around my nose and then it also makes any flaky spots seem worse.

I use my fingers to apply the Tan and get very full coverage. After a few mins, I use the flat brush that comes w/ the TSV to be sure I am evened out.

I really don't need any foundation over it at all but sometimes will dust w/ either Tarte, Josie Maran Matchmaker compact or LG new oval foundation compact.

I have scarring mostly on my chin area but it covers very well all by itself.

Sorry you are not getting the same results!

It wasn't full coverage on me, and it also turned into an oil slick by the end of the day. It did not work for me personally.

This is quite interesting to read...

For me, I do get full coverage. I also use BYE, BYE concealer and the Illumination powder over it. I think it has to do with how we all apply it. I use mine with the $3 small stippling brush from ELF and it it covers everything...

I will disagree that this is like the rest of the CC creams on the market. NOT true.. This is one of the few that gives you a buildable full coverage. I have tried 8 and this one is my favorite.

I use the CC cream with their concealer and then Mac Mineralize powder over it and it covers pretty well.

It's definitely not. I tried light and medium and while I like the product, it definitely isn't 'all in one', which, to me, sort of defeated the purpose. I'll use it but won't reorder it. There are less costly CC's I like just as much or more.

Those of you that have the TSV, is the CC exactly the same as the smaller version? Also, is the brush worthwhile? Thanks.

Actually I think applying with fingers is the best application method.
