It cosmetic concealor

Fionna — Sat, 11 Sep 2021 04:13:18 GMT

I have not worn makeup for years. I am 67 and would like to try cc cream from It cosmetics. I really don't like to wear heavy makeup. Even though I am older I have nice skin and few wrinkles. My problem is no glow and dull skin.

I have dark circles and should I also get the concealor or will the cc cream be enough?

Get the CC Illumination, it has glow where the regular is more satin-matte. I don't love the concealer. For me it stays too moist and doesn't cover that well. The CC cream should help a bit under the eyes. You might want to check the CC shades in person at Ulta if it's your first time, then come here to get a good deal. I love the Illumination, it's what I use every day.

I find the regular cc cream covers beautifully. The illuminated give a look which to me looks sweaty or greasy. It's too much. I'd try it somewhere before buying a big tube.

@Fionna

Regarding IT concealer I like the Bye Bye Under Eye in the little pot, not the tube. It's a lighter consistency but really covers well and brightens darkness. Oddly, I don't see it on QVC, but I do see it on IT Cosmetics website.

@Fionna Hi. I think I'm a rare bird because I don't like the IT foundations or concealers. I find them not to be a CC cream,but rather full coverage foundations.

CC creams are color correctors and if your skin is more even toned, you may want to look for products w/ less coverage.

try the Almay concealer that matches to your skin

I think it comes in a few shadesand it is not that spendy so if it's a dud not so bad

Physicians Formula Concealer Stick in my opinion gives the best coverage.......

@Fionna If you need coverage fine, then go with It otherwise choose a tinted moisturizer which evens out the skintone and is light like wearing no makeup. When I was trying different products a few years ago at ULTA, I thought IT was too thick. i use Secret Concealer by Laura Mercier for medium coverage but they have 3 other concealers for full coverage.

I like IT. I think applying with with a sponge tones down the coverage. If I want less coverage, I mix it with a little moisturizer.

I don’t use concealer, just color corrector under my eyes.

I agree about applying it with a sponge. It's more even and looks more airbrushed.

@Fionna - I agree with these ladies about applying IT CC cream. Make sure you apply it with a damp sponge. One that is popular is Real Techniques which is sold at Walmart and other places for less than 5 dollars. This damp sponge will give you an air brushed look.
