it CC?

pommom — Fri, 28 Nov 2014 14:55:42 GMT

I've been wearing this cc and really like it. The other day when Jamie was on, as part of her presentation, she mentioned that one doesn't need to apply primer. I took this tip and wore it without primer yesterday and by the end of the day it had melted into my skin. Absolutely no coverage.

Any tips, beauties?

I don't wear a primer with it either. I wonder if your moisturizer was a bit too oily?

The only time I noticed it disappearing through the day was when I used a more moisturizing base.

When I just use a serum it stays all day.

I love her CC cream, but like you like it much better with primer. I use Mally' poreless perfection primer. My skin looks amazing and the CC cream doesn't absorb into my skin. Looks great even after 8 hours. I hope this helps

I do use a primer with this as I use a moisturizer and such under it even if they say you do not need to.

I just purchased IT CC and definitely need a primer - as well as with my Revlon makeup. If you're 8 yrs old with perfect skin - then I'd say you probably don't need the extra coverage.

These vendors don't know your skin type and/or problems. Do what works for you!

Ok - so I'm not alone. I did not apply moisturizer or for that matter, anything but the CC. I'll go back to using a primer. Thanks, ladies!

Do you apply the primer over or under ?

I ordered it earlier this week. I should arrive early next week. I am hoping it goes on well without a primer. Thanks for the topic.

I love the CC cream! Though I really can't see it covering like Jamie's hyperpigmentation, I like the way it creates a more evenly toned appearance. After playing with it, I discovered that for my skin, I cannot apply a moisturizer first. That combo just kind of slides around! Since I've been applying just the CC cream to a bare face, mine lasts all day.

It certainly won't take the place of a true foundation, but on my mature skin, the coverage is perfect as it doesn't gather into my fine lines or look cakey at all. I just ordered another 1 from the IT site with the discount, which I believe is over by now.

Primer always goes on before your makeup. Prime = to prepare

This is the only product I don't have to wear a primer with. All other liquid, cream or powder foundations I have to wear a primer or it just disappears within a couple hours. The CC cream stays on at least 10 hours. I have dry skin and always wait at least a half hour after I apply my moisturizer to put on any other face products.

I have this, and only apply a serum under it. Isn't it the point of products like this....that they are multi-taskers?

I suspect Jaime may change her mind on the need for primer if she begins to sell her own primer. That said, the purpose of BB's and CC' s is that you only need one product for your face.

I use moisturizer but no primer. I also apply sparingly and it lasts all day for me. I let my Algenist moistorizer sink in well before I apply the cc.

Never use primer here either.

I'm surprised that it doesn't provide full coverage for you. I've got mature skin too loll. I do my skin care use mally primer bb redness then the cc cream and top with bb under eye. My skin never looked better.

She does sell her own primer, though - A231717. I haven't tried it yet, but it has mostly good reviews - 4 stars.

I'm actually thinking about giving up my AD on it. I don't like the possibility of it melting off during a hard workout.

How are people applying the CC+ cream? I use a beautyblender with my foundation and figured I'd try that with this (ordered but not yet recieved) but wonder if anyone else has any application process they think is best for the product.

TIA!

I got a beautyblender...I wet it thoroughly, wring it out and then put one pump of the IT CC Cream on it. I dab once on each cheek, on each side of my forehead, my chin and my nose then blend out each section. Flawless and lasts all day on my normal-to-oily skin. I don't use a primer. LOVE THIS STUFF!!!
