ITA.  As we age, we know less is more, a little goes a long way when it comes to makeup.  Too much of a good thing can go so wrong.

Helen is a paid model doing her job. She most likely feels quite fortunate.

Indeed, her pleasant smile would certainly say she does. But that doesn't negate the fact that they overdo her makeup and it looks cakey instead of natural.

I have never seen any other foundation brand applied to an older model. I think that the make-up brightens her face, which may be a selling point for some.

If one is watching something that's just repeated over and over and over, then you are going to become overwhelmed listening to it.  And I don't know why one would repeatedly watch the same presentations.

 


Why?

 

Because people like to see if there are new or improved products.

The reps are too loud and too scripted.  I quit watching.  I bought some items in the past and 50% were returns.  I was at Ulta the other day and tried one of the CC creams.  I wear fair and it was way too yellow.  I guess that is one of the reasons I quit ordering IT Cosmetics.    


@Daysdee my experience also. In fact, all I buy is tightline.

 

I cannot imagine that the presentations are not reviewed. Can't they hear how strident and mind numbingly scripted they are? They even shout and speed talk alike. When it got to the point that I could give the presentations myself, I quit watching. And yes, poor Helen has to look like she is surprised by the compliment she has heard at least 500 times before.

Did you know that they work with plastic surgeons???????


That’s what I hear... 🤔. Just once, I would like them to explain to what extent they actually work with plastic surgeons.

Perhaps the only thing worse than listening to these repetetive sales pitches is having to be the person giving them!

The people we see representing It Cosmetics make a ton of money.  They are not working for minimum wage.

True, but imagine if your whole life was just repeating the same keywords and catchphrases over and over and over!  I'd feel like a robot!  A really stupid robot.
