I like the Illumination a little better, just because it seems a tad lighter in texture. But I do use both.

I prefer the original Celebration Foundation. I love the matte finish and I feel like it makes my skin look airbrushed, though some say it makes their complexion look "muddy." I don't find this to be true for me, however. I do own and use the Celebration Foundation Illumination, as well. I agree it does feel a bit lighter in texture, as you said, but I just prefer the way the foundation looks without the illumination. I wish the shades were consistent between the two, though. Both winners in my book .

Glad to see your answers, I love the IT Celebration, but I did order the TSV. I am very curious to see the difference. Ordered the same color I usually use, the light before it sold out. I will let you all know if I like it.

if you already like the celebration I think you will definately like the illumination. I wanted the TSV, but have sooo many blushes and mascaras already, tried to justify it and just couldn"t. I will buy the foundation alone when I need it.

I like the look of Illuminating better than the Original. The Original looks too dark in the Light and Medium shades, and too red in Dark. The Illuminating color tones look more realistic to me. Also, the sheen is not sparkly glitter, so there's no danger of one's face looking like a sugar frosted flake.

I like the Illumination foundation better. I have both in light & the Illumination one is a bit lighter in color & gives a more natural look on my skin. The original is just too matte for me.

I like the celebration foundation better. The illumination is lighter in the same color. If you have oily skin, the extra shine will not be desirable. I put bronzer over the illuminator foundation when I use it. Passed on this TSV and the one before. Last one I purchased was the Dec 2013 or Jan 2014 one and all the preceding ones for the past 1 1/2 years. Eyeing the new brown and liner.

I like both. I have oily skin and the celebration foundation gives you a more matte finish with a touch of glow. The illumination gives one more of that dewy look. I use them as a powder over my liquid foundation though.

I tried the original when it first came out and was surprised when I had to go down a shade. DD did too. She's "Nicole Kidman" fair, and I'm light. In this, I wear Medium and she wears Light. I like it and wear it, but it's one of many in my foundation rotation! A while back she stopped by Ulta to buy the new illumination one. She got Light because that's what she wore in the other formula. It was too dark. She has tried to return it, but they're always out of Fair. Since she got it on one of their special (no exclusion) discounts, they told her to keep trying to bring it back (instead of refunding her money and eventually getting the Fair at a higher price). Last week, I asked her if I could try it. It turns out it's the perfect shade for me in Light!

If I had to choose, I would choose the illumination one, but they're both nice. I think for my skin the original gives a heavier coverage than the newer one.

I like the illumination one better. The original was chalky looking on my skin. The illumination is very soft and dewy, not cakey like the original. At times though, i do seem to get oily in my t-zone but overall, I really am enjoying it. It is never dry looking and doesn't sit in my nose to mouth lines at all.

Just so I'm understanding correctly -- are you saying that the illumination is darker than the celebration? I'm new to IT Cosmetics and I've never used their products. About me: I generally order light rather than fair. Also I generally go with a pink undertone rather than yellow. Can someone whose used both advise me their recommendation? Thanks in advance!

I have both in Fair. The Illumination Foundation is lighter AND less yellow than the Original. HTH.

I have tan in the illumination and tan in regular. I swatched both. The tan is definitely darker in the illumination. So maybe it varies with the shades? I am happy with both, but wish the colors were consistent.
