Help with IT Cosmetics CC Veil SPF 50 Cushion Foundation Compact

Haircut100 · ‎04-30-2010

I've been watching videos and searching swatches because I am very undecided as to what shade I would be. I have never used any IT Cosmetics foundation or concealer so I cannot use that as a point of reference. My skin is light, not fair, but in the videos, models with skin tones similar to mine, use medium. If anyone has used this, can you help me out with some information? Is the medium in this cushion foundation on the lighter side? I already read hundreds of reviews complaining on the quantity for price and how sheer they feel the coverage is. I am ok with that. I just need help with shades. Also, is this foundation yellowish? Thanks

I wear Medium in this. My skin tone is light, and I usually wear the second shade down from the lightest in any makeup line. I don't think it is yellowish at all, but I am warm complected. I see a very neutral tone on me. I was skeptical when I ordered, but I really like this foundation! HTH!

I would probably recommend the light based on your description. I don't find this foundaiton to be yellowish at all - though I do think her CC cream is a bit yellow going on, for some reason it neutrals out and just "works" anyway once it is on. This is probalby just the color correcting pigment they use. I love the CC veil but a compact only seems to last me about a month. I know some people were saying less than that but they have had to have been using A LOT to go through it faster than a month. I used it every day and definitely got a months worth, though near the end I was finding myself flipping the sponge to get every last bit out of there. It is a lighter coverage but for someone with very few skin issues it is plenty. I feel it did a good job of just evening everything out in a very natural way.

Like Beach_mom my skin is also light. I got light in IT CC cream foundation which I returned. The color was okay but the foundation itself was like glue on me. It was very thick, very heavy feeling and believe me I didn't use much.

I did get the TSV with the IT cushion foundation in and got that in medium which also works perfect.The medium in the cushion foundation is perfect for me.

This is a much lighter foundation, feels good on the skin and isn't sticky/tacky at all.

This gives a light to medium coverage, very nice.

The IT CC cream foundation in the tube is full coverage but I didn't care for that at all.

I do have dry skin. When BE first came out with their serum foundation I got that in Bare Shell if that helps at all.

I do however mostly use Mally Defender bb in medium light though.
