As a licensed esthetician, THANK YOU for recommending using an spf before these products! Most people don’t know they’d need to use looots of the product to get the spf coverage most tinted moisturizers/foundations/bb/cc claim to give. LOVED this review I just snagged the Illuminator one on sale to try it out and maybe will try out the nude glow after☺️
I’ve been using mine for over a week now and I couldn’t be happier :) my skin looks refreshed and dewey! And even after I take it off I feel like it’s moisturized!
Thank you for calling out the different types of sunscreens in them! I'm very sensitive with mild rosacea and I'm slightly nervous about the chemical component in Nude Glow....we'll see how it goes....
Try going in with your traditional mineral sunscreen first. I definitely recommend a primer and then this. Hopefully that’s how it will work best for you!
I just ordered the Nude Glow and I hope I am satisfied as you. I love it cosmetics and I had 3 foundations prior and I was using them and they were not applying to my skin and it was driving me crazy Completely my fault they had expired dates and I had no clue!! So I hate to throw them away but I need foundation so Thank you so much for your video your makeup application and face are beautiful!
Finally a proper comparison video between the two,, love your effort and explanation in detail Lovely both look on you ❤,, probably the nude glow more 😊 Keep making these in depth videos and reviews 👍
Hey beautiful, I love how you always say use a separate spf & I definitely do as well. I haven’t tried the illumination version but I do like the glow one. I am leaning towards the glow side more at the mid day check in too. Glow for the win after the full day. FW & have a great weekend
Hallo, thank you for this review. I watched yesterday's yesterday and was looking forward to this one. Perfect timing for me. Saturday Ulta has the cc illuminate one 50% off so I will try this first then later the cc glow one. Thank 💖 you
First video I came across when I looked up the illumination foundation. So glad I saved my in-store credit until the sale, got it for $13. 😭 Can’t wait to see how it performs, maybe give Nude Glow a try in the future.
Hey Steff, I agree with you even though I love the original but the Nude Glow is something I'd want to pick up and try. It's a really beautiful foundation and wore so good on you. I'm going to check and see if they have my shade. It's so hard for me to get my shade right. I hope you have a great evening. :)
I'm also normal to oily but I think I'll give the new nude glow a try. Although all the other it CC creams didnt work for me, I'm not giving up lol. Thanks for all your thorough reviews!
It's so hard for us gals with very fair skin. Ver few product lines produce very fair shades. I have to mix in another foundation that is really light and blend it all out with some extra SPF as well. Rosacea is a curse!
Awe I am so sorry. I have a review going up tomorrow on the new Youthforia foundation and they have a shade that's super light. Maybe that one will work for you? It's sold at Ulta.
Lol!!! Yes the BK Beauty 105! It’s the only brush I use for that Dior Powder. For whatever reason it’s the only one that applies that powder the best on my skin.
I feel like the nude glow side looks better overall, I think it's more hydrating than the illuminate one where illuminate one has a not shimmer effect but illuminate effect? 😊
@@SteffsBeautyStash I think I'm going to pick up the illuminate one first since it's 50% off at Ulta and I was really hoping to love the Danessa Myricks Yummy but did not. I'm hoping the IT illuminate will be a full coverage dewy alternative
wow the new one really does look a lot better end of day imo! that was what I disliked about the cc cream before, it was for a 4 hour wear only bc longer than that, it made me look tired which isn't the look I'm after LOL -tfs!
Hard to beat that $21 price tag at Ulta today for the Illuminate version? That would probably make the decision for me honestly if I were to pick up one of these products? 💗
Well, I honestly like the new one better. I felt it looked better for longer and kept it’s coverage. If you already use and enjoy the Illumination just get it bcs the sale is good.
Sometimes I wonder if they bring back discontinued products and repackage them, for example foundations that were dewy when matte was the style. You said $42. I remember when they were $39. Hourglass blushes went way up in price too. Ugh.
Great video, it helped me make up my mind...the CC nude low wore perfect...can you tell me the brand and number of the brush from the illuminate side please!
I noticed at the 5 hour mark right away I liked the nude glow side better the oils on your face didn’t stand out as the other side. I lucked the side you picked.
I’m definitely planning to grab the nude glow in the Sephora sale. The CC illumination is just a tad too much on my skin, I like something a little more lightweight.
I think the nude glow looks a lot better on you. Just smoother and a more natural radiance versus makeup like. A very easy pick for natural makeup days, grab and go.
IMHO at the end of the 10 hour day the CC Illuminated side looked more cakey and broken up. Versus the CC Glow looked much more natural, flawless, and much more pretty. The consistency still looked flawless vs the other side, not so much (at all).

Omg yes!!! I use to be one of them years ago lol 😂! Thank you for sharing!!
Nude Glow side just looks smoother and more even-toned, and has a nice natural glow, thanks for comparison!
I agree with ya! Thanks for watching!!🥳
I’ve been using mine for over a week now and I couldn’t be happier :) my skin looks refreshed and dewey! And even after I take it off I feel like it’s moisturized!
It’s a winner for sure! 🥳

The Nude Glow looks absolutely FLAWLESS on you!!! Almost filtered!❤️
Haha it’s been doing good! Definitely works best for me with primer and powder.
The Nude Glow, on camera, (after both the 5 and 10 hour point), is the winner. Thank you so much for the comparison.
Anytime! Thanks for watching!
I’m so glad I found this video! I’ve wondered about these two. Also, glad you reminded us not to count on these for sunscreen.
Glad it was helpful! 🥰
Definitely picking up the illuminate one at half off tomorrow at Ulta.
Good deal! 🥳

Finally a proper comparison video between the two,, love your effort and explanation in detail
Lovely both look on you ❤,, probably the nude glow more 😊
Keep making these in depth videos and reviews 👍
You’re so welcome!! I’ll be comparing their new concealer to their original too, so stay tuned for that!!

Thank you so much Jackie! Happy this one worked out!
In our warm climates we most definitely need all the spf we can get lol 😂
@@SteffsBeautyStash your welcome.
@@SteffsBeautyStash yes we do. 😂
Nude glow for sure has the win for me ❤️ it looks so skin like and beautiful 🥰😍 amazing review/comparison as always Steph 👍🏻
Thank you so much! 💚💚💚
I think the color on the new Nude Glow looked more consistent. It's lovely on you
I like it better too!
I’ve been seeing the nude glow holding up pretty well for combo/oily . I think the nude glow looks great after a 10 hour wear test.
Yes!! I’m loving it! 🥳
Hallo, thank you for this review. I watched yesterday's yesterday and was looking forward to this one. Perfect timing for me. Saturday Ulta has the cc illuminate one 50% off so I will try this first then later the cc glow one. Thank 💖 you
Enjoy! Let me know what you think!
@@SteffsBeautyStash I forgot to respond. Works beautifully on my combo on the dry side skin.
First video I came across when I looked up the illumination foundation. So glad I saved my in-store credit until the sale, got it for $13. 😭 Can’t wait to see how it performs, maybe give Nude Glow a try in the future.
For sure!! Appreciate you watching today! 💖💖💖
Steff thank you so much. I think they both look good, but the new glow looks amazing. You're hair is soooo cute!
💫💜
Thank you!! I’ve really been enjoying the new one these last 3 days. It’s a keeper!
Hey Steff, I agree with you even though I love the original but the Nude Glow is something I'd want to pick up and try. It's a really beautiful foundation and wore so good on you. I'm going to check and see if they have my shade. It's so hard for me to get my shade right. I hope you have a great evening. :)
I think IT Cosmetics is having a sale on their site too! Check it out!
I saw that and I think it was like 20% if I'm not mistaken.
Hi Steff...bought both..illuminate looks to me..more coverage..
Yes!! Enjoy them!
I'm also normal to oily but I think I'll give the new nude glow a try. Although all the other it CC creams didnt work for me, I'm not giving up lol. Thanks for all your thorough reviews!
This one feels a little different. It’s definitely lighter weight while still providing a good medium coverage.
@@SteffsBeautyStash I'm gonna try it. Thanks so much!
That's interesting. If I recall correctly, the illuminate didn't work for me but possibly the glow will based on what you've said.
If you can, give this one a try. I think you might like it.
Hi 🙋🏼♀️
I agree with you! Go for the Glow! I ordered today 💖
Woohoo!!! I’m loving it so far!!
@@SteffsBeautyStash 🙌🏼 I can’t wait! It looked beautiful on you! 💖✨💖

😆 goodness! The moment you showed your powder brush I was shocked and giggled... "oh, she aint messin' around!"
Thanks for all the info, great video!
Lol!!! Yes the BK Beauty 105! It’s the only brush I use for that Dior Powder. For whatever reason it’s the only one that applies that powder the best on my skin.

Eventually I will try the new one but because of price,I’ll have to finish up the older one which I really like.
Totally understand that!
I got the CC illuminating at Ulta today. i’m curious about the nude glow but not sure it will give me the coverage I prefer. it looks lovely tho.
It’s a nice one!! I think you will like the Illumination, keep me posted!
wow the new one really does look a lot better end of day imo! that was what I disliked about the cc cream before, it was for a 4 hour wear only bc longer than that, it made me look tired which isn't the look I'm after LOL -tfs!

Well, I honestly like the new one better. I felt it looked better for longer and kept it’s coverage. If you already use and enjoy the Illumination just get it bcs the sale is good.
Definitely want the Nude Glow now. I haven’t tried either one but I really want to now lol
Let me know what you think if you decide to get it!
Sometimes I wonder if they bring back discontinued products and repackage them, for example foundations that were dewy when matte was the style. You said $42. I remember when they were $39. Hourglass blushes went way up in price too. Ugh.
Omg really? Geezzz everything is really going up!! 😭😭😭
Nude Glow for sure!! Looks very smooth and natural on you!!
Loving it!! 🥰
Your skin is beautiful!!
Thank you 😘😘😘
Great video, it helped me make up my mind...the CC nude low wore perfect...can you tell me the brand and number of the brush from the illuminate side please!
It was also an IT Cosmetics one but limited edition. It’s one of the Love is the Foundation brushes.
@@SteffsBeautyStash Thanks!
I want to try it, but I’m super sensitive to chemical SPFs so I’m a bit worried… I’ll try it though:)
Yeah totally get that. The Illuminate one is mineral so that’s probably your best bet.
Does anyone know when the nude glow gets released in the UK?
I couldn’t find anything on it.
I noticed at the 5 hour mark right away I liked the nude glow side better the oils on your face didn’t stand out as the other side. I lucked the side you picked.
Yes!!! I’m so glad this one worked out for me! I’ve been hearing others haven’t been so lucky.
@@SteffsBeautyStash me to.
I've been waiting for this one! Woohoo 🙌
🥳🥳🥳
How did you choose your shade?
Just went by past experience with their shades.
we could be shade twins, the light is too dark for me also 🙂
Yay! Yeah agree with you on the light shade.
I’m definitely planning to grab the nude glow in the Sephora sale. The CC illumination is just a tad too much on my skin, I like something a little more lightweight.
I think you will enjoy the new one. If you are oily, just powder down. Let me know!!
They lost me at chemical sunscreen in the Nude Glow. Less coverage, too. It's a pass for me.
You aren’t alone in that!
One of my favorite people.....you look beautiful
Awe thank you 😘!!
Did you find the CC Nude Glow is darker than the other It CC foundations?
No it’s actually one of the better shade matches for me.
Ok. Thank you. I just ordered some, and then got worried because I saw some comments that the shades are darker in Nude Glow than the others.
I think the nude glow looks a lot better on you. Just smoother and a more natural radiance versus makeup like. A very easy pick for natural makeup days, grab and go.
I totally agree with you! 🥳🥳🥳
Does either one oxidize?
Nope not really on me. The Illuminate is too dark for me though because it's the Light shade.
Totally not sponsored and totally not biased
Nope bought them both myself.
IMHO at the end of the 10 hour day the CC Illuminated side looked more cakey and broken up. Versus the CC Glow looked much more natural, flawless, and much more pretty. The consistency still looked flawless vs the other side, not so much (at all).
I’m definitely a bigger fan of the new GLOW!
I luv the right side not as glowy
This new one has done so well for me these last 3 days!
They uses snail mucosa in their foundations and BB cream CC creams. That just grosses me out.
Yuck!!!! Lol 😂
Your skin is flawed
Do you use any lasers?
No!! I’ve been wanting to get one of those led face and neck masks though!
