@@thecristinamaria hi again, the pixi balm primer is ok, it does give a lot of glow to the face when used with the it + cc. I almost feel I need to use a setting powder to tone it down a bit, but, being 72 and having lines, it is nice having a glow. I can vouch that it cc cream does not sit in the wrinkles or crease when used with the pixi balm, every other foundation that I've ever used has always creased in the wrinkles, so overall, this it cc + cream I would highly recommend to anyone but especially older people. ❤️🙂
Is it fair or light? They changed the formula a little bit from a few years ago. I like the coverage of this foundation. I had to throw out a different brand of foundation because it expired, but the dermablend mousse foundation was good for my skin though it tends to clump. This one looks more like skin, but is full coverage depending on the application. This one has more ingredients though. Sometimes, I like less ingredients. The light shade oxidizes more after walking or during warm months.
The one I have is Fair. I agree this one looks more like skin even though it’s full coverage, but I did notice that it oxidized, though it wasn’t super noticeable. I have not tried the Dermablend foundation mousse yet I have heard great things about that brand. What is your skin type if you don’t mind me asking (dry, combo, oily)? I’m asking because you said the Dermablend foundation was good for your skin and I’m more on the dry side so I want to see if it would be good for me. Thank you so much for watching my video btw. 😊
My skin tends to be on the dry side so that's why I picked the IT cosmetics original CC cream, but I do get oily during summer months. The Dermablend ones that I've tried are on the dry side, more matte, & full coverage so I switch to this one because this IT cosmetics cc cream feels a bit dewy or creamy. I only used the Dermablend mousse when I was at a wedding. Though, it seems I still have to find an everyday foundation or cc cream. It is hard to find one that I'm in love with right now. Most of the brands are using new formulas.
@@ruolov1 Ok, based on that I don’t think I will really like the Dermablend mousse, thank you for that. I like more moisturizing foundations or tinted moisturizers and I usually stay away from matte products. I’m really loving the Fenty Beauty Eaze Drop Blurring Skin tint. It has a light to medium coverage that’s buildable and it just lasts really nicely and looks really nice. My skin looks like my skin but better. I used to be obsessed with the Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer but they changed their formula and it’s just not the same anymore.
I know it is really good, I also love that a little bit of product goes a long way and it lasts a long time. What is your favorite way to apply it(brush, fingers, beauty sponge)?
@@thecristinamaria I do have their Complexion Perfection brush and I love it! It’s the best brush to apply foundation with. Because I’m usually a beauty blender kind of person 😊.
@@thecristinamaria yeah, you should try it out and see for yourself if you like it or not. The main thing with the brush application is that you have to stipple not just pull and drag.I think the brush blends this CC cream really nicely. But a beauty blender will do the job as well
Great video! I've always been curious about this CC cream. It looks lovely on you, but I think it might be slightly too high coverage for me. Your skin is glowing by the way!
Thank you so much for the lovely comment! I completely understand, I also like lighter coverage and this is a high coverage product, but for day-to-day I have actually just used half a pump (one pump was quite a bit of coverage for me) and I mix it in with my moisturizer and that is more my kind of coverage.
With this foundation because the shade range is so small it's hard decide between two shades, I had the same issue when purchasing this. I went with the lighter option because it does oxidize a bit (but not much) and I can always just use bronzer and blush to give my skin more life.
