IT recent TSV......CC Cream, etc.

How do you like the CC cream? I had to get the rich to get a deep enough color because I am olive skin and tan......My question: do you wear a finishing powder over the CC cream or bronzer? I tried the Bye, Bye, Pores and it seemed to look a little drying and showed lines.....how do you use It? Thank you...

I use a setting powder over it during the day. I tend to use it at night also because of skin issues. I don't use powder over it at night.

I use almost everything in the IT line, lol!

I start with their primer, then apply the CC cream, and a light dusting of the celebration foundation on top (to help combat the oilness in my skin) and then apply the IT blush and bye bye pores finishing powder (which also helps control my oily skin).

I use the lid primer, eyeshadow, liners, mascara, lip gloss stains, as well, and love ALL of IT!

After trying unsuccessfully with other BB and CC creams, I'm glad I gave it one more shot and tried this one. I'm very happy with it. I start with a primer (have a few to choose from, but). After applying the CC Cream I'll use either IT Celebration Foundation or Laura Geller Baked Elements Foundation over it to set it and then proceed with my other products - blush, bronzer, finishing powder. If I'm not going anywhere, it's just the CC Cream and a touch of blush.

If you feel powdery you can use a facial mist. It will set you MU and give it a dewy look. If you have oily skin, LG & UD both have specific sprays. Others here use moisturizing sprays.

The more I use this, I'm not sure I'm loving it as much as I thought I did. Something about it on my skin is a bit aging. Once I take off my makeup I look 10 years younger. (there's a good clue) It's not like I'm dousing my skin in this.. I use it very sparingly in fact.. a few pea sized pumps.

It was too drying for my combo skin, it made my face feel tight and enhanced pores, fine lines, and made my forehead crinkled looking which has never happened with any other product before! This didn't work for me.

I have to say, there is no doubt this brightens up my face, evens my tone, and gives great coverage with just a tiny bit of product, but I feel like there are lines around my chin and mouth that appear accentuated. I read on another thread people are using primer underneath, but doesn't that defeat the purpose of a cc cream? I do love that I do not have to use concealer under my eyes, though...this does the trick and there are no lines there. hmmm.
