Choose between It Cosmetic Bye bye Under Eye,CC Cream, or Foundation????

I am looking at which product of the 3 types i should use. I want an all in one product that will moisturize my combination skin (semi dry),help w/ skin tone, wrinkles, yet offer sheer coverage, and be able to spot treat pimples or other blemishes when they appear. I have medium skin leaning towards light medium not warm but I do tan easily but for about 5 years now i'm not into tanning very much so my skin stays about the same color. i'm in my 40's w/ some minor wrinkles and i want it to stay that way. My skin is basically combination but it does lean towards being dry so i need sheer formula that hydtaesd my skin as well. I know a lot of you use the Bye Bye under eye as foundation. So I am trying to decide if I should do that...or use the CC cream, or use the H2O Foundation. Actually I already ordered the foundation but I have the Bye Bye Eye on hold on so i can always change it. any advice is appreciated!!!

I found it did cover well but was very very thick and paint-like for me. I tried to use it as a foundation but found it difficult to spread . Kind of like stage make up.

Maybe it is just me and I am not a make-up pro,but it felt like a mask and was too shiny to look natural. I asked my husband what he thought and he said that I looked unnatural and metallic like Data of Star Trek !

If i had major discoloration, I am sure this would be great.

You have to warm up the Bye Bye. I have been using it as a foundation for a long time because the coverage and texture are so good, and you can keep building in those bad spots, as long as you pat, pat, pat. Rub it between two fingers to warm it. I also use her powder, and it finishes off the no pores look nicely. Bye Bye has to be applied lightly and built, or you won't like it.

I also, on occasion, use the CC, and it is nice in it's way also, but I keep going back to the Bye Bye. Never tried the other one.

I use a Vitamin C serum, PTR daytime time release retinol with spf 30 and Mally's prep before I even get to the Bye Bye.

Lovely2 is right, if you use the BBUE as a foundation, you must take the time to warm it up and press and blend it into the skin. You would need to allow the time and patience to do that every day, otherwise it will look masky. I haven't tried the H2O foundation, but do use the CC cream. It' s a decent product, but the smell and the fact that the main ingredient is snail slime will keep me from reordering. Just grosses me out.

Has a anyone tried the Bye Bye Undereye corrector? Seems on the reviews people either love it or hate it. It got my interest because they claim it has a light texture.

I hated the CC cream-Sent it back immediately-TRied the Tarte CC -Back it went also- Both were FULL coverage & very thick and way toooo much for me. I don't like a lot of make-up at all. The bye Bye Under Eye cream is just okay. I don't love it- I think that there are far superior make-up lines/companies out there-TRy Bobbi Brown or Estee, etc.,

Luvmycats....I need full coverage due to issues on my face. Although I have tried much more expensive concealers and foundations, I keep coming back to Bye Bye because of the natural look I get and the full coverage. It does take a little practice to get it right.

Lovely 2 I am intrigued by how you use this product. I have dark circles, acne & scars to cover up. Do you apply it differently under your eyes than on the rest of your face? Nothing works on my under eye circles, but I am going to pull this out & try again. EL concealer does not work, Revlon's concealer does not work, I have tried BB, or anything by Mally. I don't want to spend more money so I am going to work with Bye Bye again - people do love this product! Thanks!!

The first time I used the Bye Bye Under Eye, I used it incorrectly and it was too heavy. When I took the time to read the directions, the results were great. A very little goes a very long way. I do not use foundation.

Best of luck to you.
