Re: It Cosmetics Celebration Foundation Question.

I take a medium in most foundations but IT medium runs much lighter. I kept the medium but use bronzer to darker it up.

Re: It Cosmetics Celebration Foundation Question.

I wear Celebration Foundation everyday and in my opinion the colors run true to shade. I'm a medium and the medium shade wears perfectly.

I find the shades to run light also. The IT Illumination foundation tends to run dark.

Hi Loves! I found the illuminating one to run a bit darker too. The light was too dark for me, but the fair is a bit too fair. The celebration runs more "true", and I like the shade better in the light. I wish the illuminating one wasn't yellow and darker.

Re: It Cosmetics Celebration Foundation Question.

I think the varied responses here are more proof to my belief as to regardless of how the manufacturer (and QVC's dumb down approach to selling foundation) implies having only 5 or 6 shades simplifies things, due to range of shades within each color family (fair thru deepest dark) and complexion undertones most of us will find a better foundation match in the brands which offer at least 10, but preferably go up to more than 20 shades in their formulas.

since I am probably going to pick up the TSV, I thought I would take advantage of the Double up on the It Celebration foundation. Am I correct in thinking that the colors run on the dark side in this product. Therefore, if I am normally light, I should pick up the fair shade. Thanks.


I checked and I didn't see a TSV for August nor is "IT Cosmetics" listed in the 12am slot. So I am asking, as did someone else, "What TSV are you talking about and when is it"?

Thank you.

Re: It Cosmetics Celebration Foundation Question.

Normally I love iT cosmetics however the medium foundation is to light for me. My husband asked me if I was sick because I am pale. Need to send it back. Went to the store to match up and there is no match

Re: It Cosmetics Celebration Foundation Question.

I have been using the IT Celebration foundation for a few months now. I am on the fair side but I ordered the medium. I don't even need a concealer now but it's not a heavy foundation. I am curious about the Illumination one. Maybe this winter when we all need a little more brightening. I didn't anything about a TSV coming up, but don't go me.
