Just because a product is manufactured in China doesn't mean that it's research and development is done in china.On 6/21/2014 HiLo said:Oh no. After all my obsessing about which shade. Won't be buying if it's made in China. Nothing should ever be tested on animals. I thought this line was cruelty free?On the question and answer segment on the site of this today's special someone asked where the product is manufactured. Answer: China. Afraid there will be no sale for me today.

I have both. To me the light is more pink based while the medium is more yellow based.

Too avoid the safety/health regulations standards we have here
To avoid paying employees a fair wage/benefits
To avoid the environmental regulations we have here
IOWs--to make massive profits while exploiting the people and lands of other countries w/out repercussions (fines/criminal prosecution etc.)
EDIT to add--of course my answer covers nearly every product that is NOT "Made In The USA". (look at your clothing labels...electronics...nearly EVERY THING WE BUY).
I try to "Buy American" and from independent local shops when possible, but also realize that many who's hourly wages haven't risen for many years---that this is not an option. Besides---even finding make-up etc. that is NOT made "somewhere else" is difficult.

It's a shame that on Shark Tank, they often suggest to new inventors to take their product to China to cut costs.

I totally agree with you. She needs to STOP the squint routine, and show models, and the actual product! Not only do I want to have more than a nanosecond on each shade on a model, I would like a good close-up on EACH product shade. Not once during any of the times I watch the last TSV, did she point to the product, and say 'this is . . .'. When you're between shades, sometimes a good look at the product will help. No matter what she presents, she gets caught up in her own rhetoric, and fails to give needed info. I just quit buying IT products.
I also wish they would quit brushing the clean brushes over their premade-up faces. They're doing better, but I'd like to see the older women remove and reapply their make-up, too.

IT shades leave me out. I have tried fair and light. The fair is ghostly white and the light is yel-low! I have tried mixing the two, but it just doesnt combat the high yellow pigment in the light. wish there was a cool or neutral based light to medium.

I agree, the pictures are useless. I wish they'd show swatches like they do with eyeliners and lipsticks.
What I've found helpful is finding a beauty blogger who matches my skintone. I can start with pictures, but then confirm by reading reviews that give the foundation shades and whether the blogger(s) say the color is a good match or not. If the blogger(s) wear foundations in shades that match me and then review new shades and say they're a match, that's good news for me.
Here's Phyrra's review of the It Celebration Foundation in Fair: http://www.phyrra.net/2013/06/it-cosmetics-celebration-foundation-replenishment-review.html
I also like Vampy Varnish, who usually matches the Light shades and I know if something matches her, it's a touch too dark for me.
Makeupally lets you sort reviews by skintone and age, which also helps. A lot of MUA reviewers will include their MAC shade, so if I see a person review something and she is listed as Fair and says she's an NW15 and the shade matches her well, I know there's a high probability that it will work for me, too.
