It Cosmetics Celebration Foundation Question.

Jenmarieb — Mon, 04 Aug 2014 17:13:40 GMT

since I am probably going to pick up the TSV, I thought I would take advantage of the Double up on the It Celebration foundation. Am I correct in thinking that the colors run on the dark side in this product. Therefore, if I am normally light, I should pick up the fair shade. Thanks.

I find the shades to run light also. The IT Illumination foundation tends to run dark.

I am very fair and fair is extremely light even for me. I would stick with light at least if I were you. Do you have an Ulta store nearby where you can check the color out?

Katluvr58-I do. Maybe I will stop in today. If not, I will try to order the light.

The Fair/Light shades seem to be the only two Celebration foundations which have proper color to my eyes. The Medium looks dark in the case. On the skin the Tan and Dark are reddish. The Illumination version is simply a hot shiny mess in all of the colors. I don't know what Jamie and her product developers were thinking with that formula since IT seems to take such pride in offering makeup which allows the user to look like an enhanced version of themselves-- not overly made up.

I think that the shade "medium" ran a bit light, but I still like it.

Well, in light of what I have read, I will order in the light shade. That appears to be my best bet.

You would think companies would either have a set color guideline for all of their foundations to make life easier for their customers. It just seems like common-sense. If I am light in the CC cream, I should be light in all of the other foundations.

I think the shades run on the light side. I normally wear a medium and in the IT foundation I buy the tan. I actually purchased the medium and it was too light for me so I exchanged it for tan. I stick with tan in all her products and I am not tan at all.

I take a medium in most foundations but IT medium runs much lighter. I kept the medium but use bronzer to darker it up.

I wear Celebration Foundation everyday and in my opinion the colors run true to shade. I'm a medium and the medium shade wears perfectly.

Hi Loves! I found the illuminating one to run a bit darker too. The light was too dark for me, but the fair is a bit too fair. The celebration runs more "true", and I like the shade better in the light. I wish the illuminating one wasn't yellow and darker.

I think the varied responses here are more proof to my belief as to regardless of how the manufacturer (and QVC's dumb down approach to selling foundation) implies having only 5 or 6 shades simplifies things, due to range of shades within each color family (fair thru deepest dark) and complexion undertones most of us will find a better foundation match in the brands which offer at least 10, but preferably go up to more than 20 shades in their formulas.

I checked and I didn't see a TSV for August nor is "IT Cosmetics" listed in the 12am slot. So I am asking, as did someone else, "What TSV are you talking about and when is it"?

Thank you.

Normally I love iT cosmetics however the medium foundation is to light for me. My husband asked me if I was sick because I am pale. Need to send it back. Went to the store to match up and there is no match

I have been using the IT Celebration foundation for a few months now. I am on the fair side but I ordered the medium. I don't even need a concealer now but it's not a heavy foundation. I am curious about the Illumination one. Maybe this winter when we all need a little more brightening. I didn't anything about a TSV coming up, but don't go me.
