I'm here with another "worth the hype?" post for you guys. This time, it's a blogger favourite: the IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC+ Cream. I was totally drawn in by the claims of this CC cream. It promises to colour correct (something I, as a rosacea sufferer, look for in a product), to look skin-like when applied, and to have pretty full coverage.
The Anna Edit raves about this product, which, not gonna lie, made me want to buy it since she also loves a natural, glowy base. It's also supposed to be quite moisturising and good for dry/dehydrated skin.
As you can tell from these pictures, the tube is pretty beaten up. I've been testing this for three months. FYI, I use the shade "Fair".
So how does it perform?
It performs differently depending on how you apply it. For the most natural look, but the least amount of coverage, I apply it using my hands as I would a moisturiser--spreading and massaging it all over my face. This evens out the skin tone and provides a bit of a glow.
If you apply with a brush or a beauty blender, you get much fuller coverage. The downside is that it looks much more "makeup-y". It's still not cakey by any means, but it does give the skin a sort of "wet look" that doesn't really mimic natural skin texture. The wet look does dry down a bit though, although you're still left with a serious glow.
I was a bit disappointed with the coverage. The IT Cosmetics founder has rosacea, so I had hoped this would cover mine fully. It still lets my red cheeks shine through, which is a bit frustrating. But if you don't have rosacea, I think this would be a great amount of coverage without looking heavy.
How does it wear throughout the day?
It's definitely a long-lasting formula, so you don't have to worry too much about any touch-ups. However, after a few hours of wear, I notice that it looks a bit crumbly and oxidised on dry patches on my skin and around my jaw line. Since this is supposed to be super moisturising, this is kind of a let down.
What's the verdict? Is it worth the hype?
Honestly, I don't think I will be repurchasing this because of the drying/oxidising issue. If it doesn't wear well throughout the day, it's not worth the hype for me. You need a foundation you can count on to look good all day.
Have you guys tried this? What are your thoughts?
