iT Cosmetics "Confidence in a Compact" Foundation....EXCELLENT not like the others

I received this in a TSV back in January, but I am not a big fan of foundations and try most of the brands....but they are too heavy but do not cover...so I finally got this one out about two weeks ago.  WOW!!!  I wrote a review but I forgot the most important thing...

IT HAS ZINC OXIDE for a sunblock.  My dermatologist when asked what made a sunblock acceptable?  ...the answer:  IT MUST HAVE ZINC OXIDE, which few sunblocks  do, yet alone make-up..  I have now began using this foundation as my sunblock...SPF50...  and it goes on so easily with either a brush or sponge.  It is not heavy and it doesn't look like wearing make-up which is my issue with foundations.

It's hard to explain the finish. It's just natural looking. I don't think it's dewy at all.

With this foundation you do not want to put a lot on your brush. Start with just a thin layer and build it up if you need to I don't really have much to cover up so I don't need very much at all.

I ♥️ Confidence in a compact! I am glad it is now being offered on its own!

It's not a powder foundation, but more like a cream.... the finish is not dewy, more satin but very natural looking.  You can apply with a sponge or a brush and a little goes a long way!

is it a 'cream to powder' foundation? I used a Covergirl product that i liked for years. This would be handy to keep in purse and reapply with a sponge type applicator in the summer.

@lavendar - I well remember those foundations and they were really nice! 

 

It sounds like this is a cream but doesn't dry to a "powder".  I am going to try it as now that I am older and my skin is drier, I don't really want it to dry to a powdery finish.  I only hope it is not too shiney.  Her other foundations (liquid) do not work for me.  Love and use her Bye Bye Pore loose finishing powder and a few other things.
