It Cosmetics Foundations | Which One Should You Buy?

February 5, 2019

WHICH ONE SHOULD I BUY?

This is the question I get asked the absolute most when it comes to everything it cosmetics and their CC+ and the newest Bye Bye Foundation Moisturizer. Each one brings its own bit of oomph to the table. Depending on what kind of coverage you want and what kind of finish you want will dictate which of these works best for you. 

Which one should I buy? A breakdown of it cosmetics CC+ and Bye Bye Foundation!

Your Skin But Better™ CC+ Illumination™ with SPF 50+ | $39.00 

DESCRIPTION: This breakthrough color-correcting cream never creases or cracks and instantly camouflages skin imperfections including dark spots. Plus, it’s infused with an advanced anti-aging serum made of hydrolyzed collagen, peptides, niacin, hyaluronic acid, antioxidants and vitamins A, B, C and E that work in harmony to diffuse the look of wrinkles, enhance skin brightness, minimize pores and give you a more radiant, supple and flawless-looking complexion.

MY EXPERIENCE: So this is definitely my least favorite of the bunch. I found it to be a little bit too shimmery for me. While I love a good glow and a dewy finish, this went a bit beyond that and was almost like applying liquid bronzer over my face. Not my jam. That said, mixing half of this with half of the OG CC+ cream is a match made in heaven so since I have both this is what I do with this. 

WHO WILL THIS WORK FOR?: This is going to be for you if you have super dull skin and need a bit more illumination. I don’t recommend this is you’re pale with pink undertones. Anyone in the medium range will likely find this to be a choice. If you want something that has a bit more coverage than a tinted moisturizer and adds a ton of glow you will also enjoy this. 

Your Skin But Better CC+ Cream Oil-Free Matte with SPF 40 | $39.00

DESCRIPTION: Developed with plastic surgeons, Your Skin But Better CC+ Cream Oil-Free Matte with SPF 40 delivers color-correcting full coverage, anti-aging skincare and SPF 40 broad-spectrum physical sunscreen—all with a poreless, natural-looking matte finish that lasts! This multitasking, complexion-perfecting breakthrough instantly camouflages skin imperfections including dark spots without creasing or cracking and is clinically tested to reduce shine and control oil for up to 12 hours. It’s also infused with charcoal to detoxify, colloidal clay to absorb oil and tea tree extract to combat blemishes—plus, an advanced anti-aging serum made of hydrolyzed collagen, peptides, niacin, hyaluronic acid, vitamins, and antioxidants. You’ll see powerful results instantly and more dramatic results over time!

MY EXPERIENCE: I love this one. At first glance, I was ready to hate it. Matte and dry skin is just not usually two things that go together so I was SURE it wouldn’t work for me. But it did. And it worked so freaking well. This wears super well and goes on like a dream. It’s not a flat matte finish, it’s more a soft natural matte. So your skin looks almost airbrushed. I wear this with light to medium coverage. 

WHO WILL THIS WORK FOR?: In my opinion, this works well for all skin types. Even dry skin, which I know may seem crazy but it does. If you’re looking for a medium coverage face product that gives you an airbrushed finish, you would pick this one. If you find that you’re a bit on the drier side and this isn’t working how you’d expect, try adding a face oil into your routine before using it. This is perfect for dry skin girls who still crave a semi-matte look. 

Your Skin But Better™ CC+™ Cream with SPF 50+ | $39.00

DESCRIPTION: CC+ Cream with SPF 50+ is your one step for color-correcting full coverage, anti-aging skincare and SPF 50+ UVA/UVB broad-spectrum physical sunscreen. Developed with plastic surgeons, your best-selling, award-winning beauty miracle delivers clinically tested hydration while diffusing the appearance of skin imperfections for flawless-looking coverage that won’t crease or crack. Infused with hydrolyzed collagen, peptides, niacin, hyaluronic acid, antioxidants and vitamins, this multitasking makeup and skincare product is truly your must-have for instant complexion perfection!

MY EXPERIENCE: This is the OG so I obviously have lived with this one the longest. Originally I couldn’t even use it because the lightest shade just didn’t work for but once they expanded a bit I was able to find a match and get excited about it. I love this on it’s own when I am looking for light coverage with a natural skin-like finish. But I have found that I really enjoy it most when mixing it with the Illumination. 

WHO WILL THIS WORK FOR?: Every skin type. This has the least amount of coverage in my opinion. You get a sheer to light coverage and can build it to almost medium. This is something if you will reach for if you want to have something easy to throw on and not put much work into for a no makeup makeup type of look. 

Bye Bye Foundation Full Coverage Moisturizer™ with SPF 50+ | $39.50

DESCRIPTION: Bye Bye Foundation is your first-ever full-coverage moisturizer from IT Cosmetics that gives you the power to say “bye bye” to the traditional foundation—and hello to your most beautiful skin! Developed with plastic surgeons, your innovative problem solver is designed to help cover and improve the look of skin concerns including redness, pores, dark spots, breakouts, lines, and wrinkles—all while protecting your skin with SPF 50+ broad-spectrum physical sunscreen. Created with proprietary 3D Skin Flex™ Technology, your hydrating color-infused moisturizer provides smooth, flexible pure color pigments that float over lines and wrinkles and feel like nothing on your skin, but cover everything without creasing or cracking. Ideal for all skin types, it also features 7 key fermented ingredients to increase the absorption and efficacy of your skincare, plus bioluminescence and diamond powder for subtle radiance without glitter or shimmer. Finally, you can experience clinically tested hydration and smoothing, skin-perfecting full coverage that makes your skin look younger!

MY EXPERIENCE: Love. Love. Love. This took everything I loved about the OG CC+ cream and made it better with more coverage. This cut my redness out and left me with a medium to full flawless finish. I can usually wear this without concealer because it does such a great job at covering up blemishes and discoloration. Since I have dry skin I usually don’t reach for full coverage foundations but this is an actual moisturizer so I don’t have to worry about cake face, cracking, or separating which are things I deal with, with dry skin and full coverage foundations. 

WHO WILL THIS WORK FOR?: This is going to be great for all skin types but especially anyone who has dry skin and wants a full coverage finish. This one is the most different of the bunch and is for anyone who wants to hydrate their skin while also achieving full coverage. 

FINAL THOUGHTS: In my opinion, the best of the bunch is the Oil-Free Matte version, if I absolutely had to choose that would be it for me. This would be followed by the Bye Bye Foundation, and then the OG CC+ and honestly I could do without the CC+ Illumination but since I don’t want to waste it mixing it in with the OG has been a great fix for me.

“The black and white photo challenge started as “The black and white photo challenge started as a way for women to raise their voice. To stand in solidarity with the women we have lost.

In 2019, Turkey had nearly 500 RECORDED femicides. ⁣

The Global Burden of Armed Violence 2014 database shows that between 2007 and 2012, on average, 60,000 women were killed violently around the world. ⁣
⁣
A total of 87,000 women were intentionally killed in 2017. More than half of them (58 per cent) ̶ 50,000 ̶ were killed by intimate partners or family members, meaning that 137 women across the world are killed by a member of their own family every day. More than a third (30,000) of the women intentionally killed in 2017 were killed by their current or former intimate partner ̶ someone they would normally expect to trust.⁣

3️⃣ I have two cats, a dog, and a husband that I’ve been with since I was 16 years old⠀⁣

🔟 Creating this community has been one of my favorite things about life. What will you find here?! Easy beauty tips and tutorials, attainable fashion, endless Amazon finds, but also the UNCOMFORTABLE stuff: pap smears, depression, anxiety, the effects my husbands addiction had on our marriage, eating disorders, struggles with fertility, body acceptance, and being comfortable in your own skin. I try to keep it as real as humanly possible. Being so vulnerable all of the time isn’t the easiest thing but if it helps just one person feel less alone, I’m good! ⠀⁣

Loving an addict is one of if not the hardest thin Loving an addict is one of if not the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life. ⁣
⁣
We’re about two hit two years since Jim entered rehab and I’m forever proud of the changes he made and the man he has become⁣
⁣
For the person reading this who loves an addict. It’s changed you, I know. It made you a little harder to reach. It made getting out a bed a little rough. It’s isolated you from groups of friends. Your hearts a little more closed off then it once was. Your trust is a little bit broken. You’ve felt more alone then you ever have. You’ve felt judged. You’ve felt betrayed. You’ve felt at fault.⁣
⁣
Whether you’re past it or still in the trenches. I want you to know some things. ⁣
⁣
I need you to know that it’s not your fault. I need you to know that you could not have done anything differently. I need you to know that you can’t cure it. You didn’t cause it. And you can’t control it. ⁣
⁣
Most of all I need you to know that it gets better. I need you to know that it’s ok to feel happiness again. It’s ok to put yourself first. It’s ok to take care of your. ⁣
⁣
And you’re not alone. ⁣
⁣
I promise you that there’s a light on this side of the tunnel just waiting for you to walk through. And that light doesn’t mean it’s over, it’s just there to guide you. Because every day could be a battle. ⁣
⁣
I stayed for the battle. But that’s not the only way. If you need to leave that’s okay too. Either way. You have to get to that light. ⁣
⁣
Don’t be afraid to reach out for help. Go to a meeting yourself. Grab a book (Co-Dependent No More, was helpful for me) listen to a podcast. Get yourself a village. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF⁣
