I'll stick to my Tarte Shape Tape as well.  It has always been great for me.

Also, I'm not at all comfortable with "exfoliating" under my eye area.

I am certainly not a raving beauty nor a makeup expert.

I have very fair skin and have always avoided much sun when I was young, now wear spf every day.  I do not have age spots,  but have always has dark circles.  I do cover my dark circles, using IT Bye Bye Under Eye, tapped on very lightly. but do not need concealer for dark spots on my skin I don’t have.  

I am in my late 70s, few wrinkles, but have skin sagging.  Never had a desire to go under the knife.  I use Peter Thomas Roth Retinol, followed by Perricone at night.  I use Lancome Genifique during the day, purchased on HSN’s 2 for 1 once a year.  I really like it. Different brands of eye creams.  I use Perricone neck cream.

I do do think it would be interesting for different posters to talk about their issues, what products they use, and how they work for them.

My thoughts are that regular skin care for your type is more important that what brand of makeup you use.  Just me!

Can someone PUHLEEEEZ tell me what product they use to remove  IT foundations and concealers?  When I've used them, I can't for the life of me, get it all off even using Purity Made Simple!

I use IT CC cream as my concealer. One shade lighter than what I use on the rest of my face.  It covers and brightens just fine.

Haven't met a 'concealer' yet that isn't too heavy and cakey on me.

Pass on this.

I thought they were selling a foundation at first! 

I'd like to get this, but passing since it's a duo.  So often they have duos or super size.... which is great if you know it's something that already works for you.

I lost interest in this the minute they said it was a dewey coverage. My skin tends to be oily and I would spend all day trying not to be dewey. Definitely not for me.

@Renata22   Yes, I'm so glad you brought that up. I also stay away from a dewey coverage.  That makes my makeup look "old quick," like I put it on hours before.  My oily-prone skin does not like dewey makeup.

@snipsnapsnur   For me, I always use liquid foundations and the Tarte Shape Tape.  Like you, I use Purity Made Simple -- but it only takes off about 90% of my makeup.  Regardless of what Philosophy says in their presentations, it does not remove 100% makeup.  But for me it's better than balms or other face cleaners I've tried.

I always follow up with Dr. Nassif's Detox Pads (available on HSN).  One pad to get the remaining makeup off, and a 2nd pad to make sure it wipes absolutely clean, and there's zero makeup on my face & neck.  Plus, my face loves the Alpha/beta hydroxy in the pads.

@snipsnapsnur I use facial cleansing oil to remove everything. I used Tatcha, Josie and now I just use a drugstore brand. It removes everything, even mascara. I then double wash using a non oil cleanser when I wear a faceful of makeup. I used to wear IT products and no problem. I don't like Philosophy PMS.

I'm giving it a try- Darkness around my eyes is my biggest issue, and I like the size and convenience of this product, and the duo is a plus, if it works on me!  Tarte Shape Tape was too thick and cakey on me- I've tried most of them. My skin is not good, so a thinner consistency works better, lays smoother... Hope this is The One! 💝👏🏼🥰
