@Shanus  Funny that you mention all the shimmery products in the TSV.  The night of the TSV some of the models under the lighting looked spooked.  They were glowing.  It's okay for models in an ad or on the runway but everyday women do not want to walk around glowing to the point that they are shining.

@Katcat1  ITA. There’s a huge difference between a slight sheen on top of cheekbone & looking greasy and in a full on sweat!

I thought about ordering because of the value, but after reading so many negative reviews just on this foundation alone I decided to pass. 

I have used the Becca under eye brightener, but I can achieve similar results with drugstore products that cost a lot less. I don’t really have a dark under eye area anyway.

@wilma  If undereye area is really dark, try a concealer w/ a peach tone. Bobbi Brown makes “correctors” in these shades to wear under your concealer.

BECCA is a line that holds no interest for me because just about everything in the line has "glow" and/or "shimmer and all the face products have a warm undertone. The entire line is offered at two places near me and I've asked SA's at both stores if it's my "imagination" ( I KNOW it isn't but I want to see if they try to sell me on it). Nope, they've said this is a line for those with yellow undertones and is one they steer those needing a yellow base towards.

Many lines are designed for warm undertones because the creator has a warm complexion. Charlotte Tilbury and Cat Cosmetics are examples were this is obvious.

I guess that's why everybody looked greasy & shiny to me, but they weren't greasy & shiny after all, rather they were just glowing and shimmering.

@shaggygirl No, they were greasy and shiny; that's why I put the words in quotation marks- the INDUSTRY uses glow and shimmer...not the rest of us, lol.

I have been watching QVC on and off today and I have seen about 3 presentations.  The vendor never mentions undertones.  There will be a lot of women purchasing only to find out the foundation will not work for them.  What in the world is wrong with QVC?  You are selling the cosmetics and women should be informed about every aspect of the kit.  Undertones are crucial.  Why does Becca have way more shades on their website?    you are losing business with inadequate information.

@Katcat1. All the products in the kit have highlighting properties. I can understand 1 or 2 w/ shimmer, but not primer, foundation, concealer, powder, and gloss...All with sparkle. Great for maybe younger skin or YouTube fanatics...but not the average woman.

Shimmer shows wrinkles and imperfections.

Looks like you haven't tried it all to even make these comments.  I've been using Becca for a long time and I have this primer and it doesn't have sparkles at all.  I even have their other back light primer and again no sparkles.  If you haven't used these products please don't comment on them.  You don't know a thing about it until you have tried these products.  This is why I never listen to most people on these boards when it comes to makeup.  You have to know how to apply it.  The models in the presentations used way too much of the product and when they did, yes they were too shiny, but still no sparkles.

@shaggygirlThe reason the undereye color corrector was not a good look on the black model is because the one in the TSV was the wrong shade.  Becca makes two shades of the corector-- the pinky one sold in the TSV and another more peach tone for tan to dark skintones.  I recall mentioning in a post yesterday that if QVC could arange with Becca to coordinate the lipgloss with the shade of foundation ordered, the same should have applied to the corrector. 

Ultimate Coverage is a reallly good foundation, but sadly QVC never has, and seemingly never will, sell all of the colors available to their customers in foundations which the manufacturer makes in 10, 20, or more shades.  I honestly think they should have more trust in their customers to be able to go to QVC.com and review a color guide.  Becca actually has one of the better foundation color guides with excellent images and worded descriptions

I went into Sephora today to check out the foundation. I caved and ordered the Tsv even tho I'm not crazy about the under eye brightrner. Much prefer IT bbue. The foundation is definitely drying. The coverage is amazing. The reviews say to do one area at a time cos it dries very fast. I'm interested to see how it applies with the primer. I've been a long time user of IT CC CREAM. But looking for something that lasts longer.
