After debating whether i should buy this for a little while now, I finally just did it. I was concerned Illuminating might be too much for me and was considering just buying original cc cream. The Illuminating cream is even better than the regular cc cream. If your main concern with this one is how Illuminating is it then I can say don't worry. This gives you a healthy radiant complexion that glows a little more in certain lights but it's still on the subtle side and natural looking anyways. It goes on and just melts into your skin it seems. I love that it looks thick when applying it so you can see that you have it applied evenly and all over but slowly just fades until it becomes like your second skin. It isn't oily or drying, it stays on all day and this actually holds up better than my foundation does somedays. My favorite part of this problem is that it makes my skin look good enough that I wear this in liwu of my foundation most days now. If I do wear foundation, it now sees to heavy and I wish I had worn this. It's converting into my foundation of choice. This is a great product and I recommend this over the unilluminated cc cream

IT Cosmetics® Your Skin But Better™ CC+ Illumination™ with SPF 50+ is a daily product in my beauty routine. I mix it with my foundation to get that perfect dewy look. It is advertised as full coverage, however I think it is more of a medium coverage that’s why I gave it 4 stars. The bottle doesn’t look very big, but there is actually a lot of product in it. It covers up my redness pretty good. I would definitely recommend this product alone or mixing it with foundation like I do.

Let me start by saying that I really do like this product. It has a satin finish that is dewy but not oily, And it sets pretty well on its own while looking really natural and pretty. I have tried it with a beauty blender and a brush, but I feel that the best is putting it on like a tinted moisturizer with my hands. The only downfall, well there are two, is the color range is pretty limited and I fall between light and fair. So I can’t really find a product that fits me well. Additionally, being that it is supposed to be considered a skin care products I am really let down by the fact that it is pretty fragranced. If I could make any change that product it would be to make it fragrance free. Other than that I think it’s a pretty well-balanced product especially for the girls that try to look for skin care in their foundations.

I am IN LOVE with IT Cosmetics, everything is amazing quality, love love love. This, and the regular CC cream leaves my skin looking so beautiful, I mean honestly flawless. At first I was a little skeptical because I normally like super Matte foundations, and the CC cream part scared me away a bit. But, don’t let it, it is full coverage! This product has a hint of shimmer in it that gives you that natural glow that you are looking for. The luminosity of your skin looks amazing in the light and in photos. I can’t say enough good things about IT Cosmetics and both of the CC creams. IT Cosmetics® Your Skin But Better™ CC+ Illumination™ with SPF 50+

Let me start by saying I have super dry skin, we’re talking DRY. This is one of the few things that actually makes my skin look good, and for that I love it. But what I don’t love is all the glitter in it! 😩 it doesn’t enlarge my pores so that’s great but it does make me look SUPER oily by the end of the day (I’m not oily even in the slightest). And I had to set it with a ton of powder, when I usually don’t use any, and it still creased around my smile lines. Overall I’ll continue to wear it because it’s so hard to find something that doesn’t look like my face is peeling off, but I’ll keep looking for something else too.

This has tons of tiny sparkles/glitters that will make you look REAL bling. My skin tends to get shiny throughout the day so this is not a look that I prefer. My t-zone, especially the forehead, does get pretty shiny even when I set this with a powder. However this does give a very nice coverage but still leaving my skin looking like skin. I like to apply with a flat brush and tap it into the skin with a damp sponge for light to medium natural finish. It also leaves the skin smooth to touch after it sets. The medium shade is a bit too dark for me but can definitely work for summer time. 

This is an excellent product. It has amazing coverage for a CC cream and lasted pretty well through a workday for me. The “illumination” in this product did not appear glittery to me. I loved the little pump on the product and only needed a little bit to cover the redness on my cheeks.

Unfortunately there is something in this product that does not agree with my skin. A few months into using this, I began experiencing the worst acne I’ve ever had in my life. I thought it was due to pregnancy so I kept using. The cystic acne continued. I then received a sample of the IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Undereye concealer and used it in conjunction with this product. I ended up with two huge pimples under both eyes in the same exact spot. They were like little sacs underneath my skin that would not come to a head no matter what. They were there for months, and the red marks are still there. This was a year ago. I am now too afraid to use these products or anything else by IT Cosmetics ever again. It’s a shame because I have loved everything I’ve used. I just cannot risk it when I am still fighting to fade the damage from last time!

I have been waiting for the chance to go into an ulta to try this out so I can purchase it for years. I received a sample of the regular cc cream and feel in love. But with my dry combo skin this is my favorite foundation ever. It looks amazing all over my face. Doesnt transfer. Doesnt get cakey. Lasts forever. ;) and will easily build up to full coverage. I know they have such a small selection for skin types but I honestly think if you try you can make it work with concealer and your powder and bronzer. I tell everyone about this. It also has some great skin care benefits in it. And since i started using it I have seen a huge improvement in my skin. I will gladly drive 4 hours again to purchase it if i have too. It costs me around 35 bucks and you can get it online or at ulta. Qvc also usually has some amazing deals with this. So id check that out.

I got mine in the shade TAN and it just a TAD BIT too dark for me and medium is way too light for me so I have to mix the both of them to get my shade but I’m not a big fan of having to do that. But it is really good coverage and the application is nice and smooth and very easy to blend out. Kind of wish they had a better range of shades though especially since they’re such a good high end brand. Let’s get it together IT COSMETICS.

This foundation is absolutely amazing! This is the answer to my dry skin prayers! Goes on super smooth, and it feels like a moisturizer. It feels like that’s all I’m wearing! I’ve been wearing this for a few weeks and this is my absolute go to foundation! It wears super long too and I wouldn’t say it’s full coverage but more medium. Which I don’t mind at all.
