I like bye bye undereye concealer. No creasing - however medium is too light for me, tan too dark. Lip color- love the consistency, but the stain it leaves is too fuschia for me. So basically, love the consistency, not crazy about the colors. Also, where can we get the names of ALL the customer choice winners?

A hint I picked up on the lip stains. I had an IT make-over earlier this year and I mentioned to my IT make-up artist that I had issues with the stains turning too bright fuschia. She said to put it on and let it develop to the color you want and then blot with a tissue. That stops the color from changing any more. I tried it and voila...no more fuschia!

I'm and IT girl. Love the CC, have to mix tan and medium, LOVE the No. 50 Primer serum, the tight line and the lip stains too.

ETA - Forgot to mention, I'm 61 and have very reactive skin. I've not suffered any breakouts from any of the IT products I've used.

I had the same situation with the concealer. The medium is actually "neutral medium." The tan is described on beauty.com as a "medium."

I'm in between the two but find that the tan is more flattering and less raccoon-y for me. So that's what I'll use until or when she creates a shade in between the two.

I use the CC cream foundation, and really like the way it makes my skin look. It's also true that it does not settle in lines. I use the lightest shade for my very fair skin. A tiny amount is plenty, and I appreciate spf 50.

I ordered the bye bye pores powder, and I'll say I find it somewhat drying, and very matte. Maybe very oily skin can use this. I'll keep it and maybe just do the t-zone, lightly.

I love the It mascaras. I also have her hello light illuminator. I'm a little addicted to highlighters so I have everybody's lol. I can't speak to her foundation because I don't use foundation

I have normal to dry sensitive skin and I can't wear anything powder, not IT Or anyone's. I also had to send back the IT CC cream because it was way too heavy feeling on my face plus it stayed very tacky on me. I didn't use much either so wasn't that.

I love the new BE bareskin but it is light, isn't a full full coverage makeup but is good for the skin. It is buildable and does wear well. I have already had this one as well as the newer Mally liquid in a compact which I also love on for 16 hours at a time and looked as nice as when I first put them on.

I did just order another newer Mally, mousse in a pump bottle with a brush that is 1.7 ounces, good size for foundation today and after watching the video I am sure I am going to really like this one, was shipped so will post once I get it and try it. Being this one is a mouse it won't take a lot of product since I have used other mousse foundation and did find that to be the case.

While I love both the BE bareskin and the Mally liquid in a compact they are both smaller and won't last nearly as long although the BE bareskin will last a lot longer than the Mally liquid in a compact.

I use my real techniques expert face brush(got 3 at Ulta) and love them for any foundation more than brushes that come with the foundations.

You have to watch all videos and decide what you think will work the best for you but for me, the IT foundations were all very heavy feeling on me and I felt like I had a mask on and couldn't wait till wash them off. The colors run dark so watch for that if you order.

I do like the IT brow pencils, on AD for the 5 in 1 gel powder pencils and love the IT lip stain. While this says it is for lips and cheeks I love it for lips but for a blush it stays very tacky, not on the lips and does wear well on the lips, comes in 2 colors, both are good.

For blush I like BE(from their last TSV) and Tarte. I like things from all different vendors depending on what I am getting but for foundation, no IT works for me.
