Hello from the US. This has been the best tutorial ever on the CC creams from IT…. And I watch QVC when the company is represented. I am 66 and have one of each of these creams. I use them depending on my mood and find the shades to be so forgiving and great coverage since I now have broken capillaries and blue veins to cover. Believe me the blue is alot harder to cover since you get a bit of denting in that skin. Thanks a million!
Thank you Rose, for a great tutorial on IT Cosmetics foundations. It really helps to know what each of them will do as well as get the visual that you provided. As always, a great presentation.
Skin care has to be the start of good makeup application!!!! If someone doesn’t take care of their skin their makeup won’t look the best. Great video. I lovvvveeeee IT foundations… been using for years
I absolutely LOVE the IT cosmetics CC cream. So blendable, buildable, and lasts all day! It literally melts in to the skin after application, no need for powder (for me) and my skin is radiant and flawless due to the multiple skincare ingredients. Great for all ages, and skin type, and the bottle has so much product it lasts longer than bottles!
I am so glad I found you and this tutorial! I have been searching high and low for somewhere that actually stocks IT CC Cream so that I can find my correct shade. A Boots assistant told me that they only have it online(!). Thank you for all the amazing tips I really can’t wait to try this. What a pity that IT Cosmetics can’t make it more readily available in the UK. Thanks again, Rose x
Hi Trisha! Lovely to have you and thanks so much for watching. I think different Boots stores carry different brands, but don't worry you can absolutely find us in real life to try! There's Boots, Space NK, Sephora and Selfridges that have the brand in person. If you go onto their live chats they'll be able to tell you your closest area. And I'll definitely feed it back for you so that we can make it clearer on emails etc the locations to go in and try! XXX
The thing with this CC cream is, the light shade was 2-3 shades darker than my skin tone! I could use it as a bronzer because how dark it is!! It's not light at all it was very medium brown dark!!! Didn't throw it away yet because it's not cheap!!
This truly was one of (if not *the*) best product comparison information/tutorial videos I've ever seen and I've watched literally hundreds (makeup, hair care, hair styling, etc). You did a fantastic job of covering product info, issues, questions, and pro-tips. And even though you are a brand ambassador for It Cosmetics, you are unbiased enough to talk about other products. Well done! Because of this video, I will now purchase the CC Nude Glow. It Cosmetics is very luck to have you.
Hi Stacy, thank you for such a lovely message, this really means so much to me! I absolutely love IT Cosmetics, but I also know they're not in everybody's budget so I always try to ensure I give other options. I'm so glad it all shone through for you. Thank you so, so much for writing in. You've made my whole weekend! XXX
,I love It cosmetics but I have found the colors appear so much darker than they used to be. Very yellow toned, I do like the original, tried the nude glow but it never seems to dry down and at 67, don't like powdering my face, makes me look to matte. Thanks for the tips and trying each formula for us to see!!
Thank you for this really informative video. It was particularly nice to actually see you demonstrate the product on your skin. I have alot of redness also so it really showed me how nice the product worked. 😊😊
I used to mix the OG with the oil free and it was lovely. I don’t like a super dewy look because I’ve had super oily skin all my life and always fought break through shine starting 5 minutes after I applied an oil free foundation. In the past 10 years, my skin decided to become sensitive and much drier. I really like the Bye Bye Foundation. It’s slightly more dewy than I would prefer, but not as dewy as the OG. IT is the only foundation- in one form or another- that I have used in at least 15 years.
Hello from USA… I had this cream for one year, I hated it cuz it never stayed on. Last week, I watched this video (thanks to youtube for random suggestion), tried your tip and I fell in love with it. For FIRST time, it stayed on beautifully all day long. I used ELF brand primer, set it with a my all time favorite Fenty Beauty translucent powder and NYX setting powder. Until I tried your tip, I never had this much satisfaction with my makeup. Simple routine - CC cream, eyebrows and mascara.
I appreciate all the detail you shared! Personally, I now use Korean BB creams & am much happier. Purito is a favorite or Missha. It CC cream contains citrus oils. I've tried it many ways but was never really pleased. YMMV
I purchased the Nude Glow and after I got home discovered the sunscreen ingredients it contained are known irritants, hormone disrupters, and carcinogens. In fact…the one ingredient is almost seven times higher than the recommended amount. The Original has the same chemical sunscreen ingredients while the other two contain safe mineral ingredients. Not sure why IT cosmetics would put the effort into including anti-aging ingredients in their products only to ruin it by adding ingredients that are harmful to one’s health. I will definitely be returning mine.
I have tried to love IT CC cream for years and never realized my issue was the dewy finish. I am going to check out the Matte finish. This video is so great I think I will be able to work with my CC cream better
It Brushes are beautiful.. My issue with the complexion products is the shade range. I’m in between shades, so unfortunately I had to buy two. For anyone with dark under her eyes, the IT concealer in the little black tube is better than any of the other 30 Concealers that I own .. a little goes a long way, but it is fabulous.
Hello from the US. This was the best most informative video I have seen on IT Cosmetics. I found your video on a whim today and I have now subscribed from this one video. You are darling and I love the accent! Fun fact my entire family is from England. Plymouth to be exact and I was the first one born in the states in my family. Half my family lives here in Indiana and the other half still lives in Plymouth. Lovely lovely video. XXX
@@RoseGallagher I think it looks better on you, great on you, but I'm 78 and I don't think it would work for me. I use both the original and the illumination. I also have the no pores setting powder but I wish I had purchased that in the compact rather than the loose powder.
I had always been interested in It cosmetics but I have never liked the Dewey look. I am very oily so looking dewy is not a draw for me. However, the matte look can look flat. I really did not know that It cosmetics carried an oil-free, matte foundation. I think I will take a closer look. The finish is beautiful and soft.
Thanks, Rose. I have the original, the Matt & also Your Skin but better foundation in glass bottle. They all work a treat on my skin It’s the only CC cream/ foundation that doesn’t cause me outbreaks, you know them little white heads around the nostril area I even wear it when away in Greece with temperatures high… I’m not advocating sitting in the high temperatures just solely depending on your factor 50/40 in your cc cream But just dipping in & out of the sun, it works for me, I have never sunburnt my face I always get compliments when wearing it cosmetics, “you have lovely skin” so that’s good, as I HATE heavy make-up. I just received my order of “it girl beauty book 4” Delighted with it The only gripe I have is a little gig with the design to include some slots to place brushes within.
Morning Caroline, I hope you're keeping well! I'm sorry for my late reply, I've just seen this lovely message now. I'm so pleased it works well for you and I agree re the hot temperatures. I used the original on my best friend this weekend just gone for her wedding and it lasted beautifully! So glad the IT Girl Beauty Book is working well for you too and that's a great idea about the brush slots. I will feed that back for you. Have a lovely rest of the week XX
I love I the US and have dry, mature skin. The 1st time I ordered the Illuminating I found it to Glowy and emphasized texture. So I just ordered the original hoping it will not be as glowy
Rose… what do you do if, after you’ve applied the cc cream and translucent powder(I prefer matte over shine), after you blow your nose? The makeup will come off on the nose area. I have not found anything that doesn’t transfer when I blow my nose. I had brain surgery 16 months ago and the right side of my nose runs a lot. I’m doing great by the way! 😊
Hey there! First of all, I'm so pleased to hear your surgery went well and that you're doing well now! Re the make-up, I'm afraid anything really will come off once you blow your nose. The best suggestion would make is to bring a little portable touch-up stick with you, something like the Lancome or Urban Decay sticks which have a little brush at the end of them, and touch up your nose after blowing. XX
Thanks for the tips. Do you have any more for dry skin? I have dry skin (no flaking) and I experience two problems with the original cc: 1) It settles really badly into my fine lines and wrinkles, even though I’ve dabbed off any excess product. I can’t use powders. They all dry me out. 2) It dries my skin out. It feels so nice when I first out it on. I moisturise, I use a hyaluronic acid primer and setting spray, and still it dries me out like only mattifying foundations do.
Hi Erica, thanks so much for these insights and I will use them to make some follow up content! In terms of setting your makeup, do you ever use setting spray? I used to be a bit of a cynic about most of them but recently I've found a couple of great ones (Half Magic Beauty and the classic from Urban Decay) and they really do make a difference and help to precent any makeup settling but without needing powder. And then in terms of the dryness, how often do you exfoliate? I wonder if you slotted in an exfoliant maybe once or twice extra a week whether it would make a difference to how your makeup sits and feels. Let me know and we can take the rest from there XX
Thank you for your reply. Yes, I do use setting spray. I have never tried Urban Decay's, I think it's too expensive, but I have bought about it many times. I exfoliate almost every day. The foundation just settles like crazy into my fine lines, so does the NARS light reflecting foundation. The NARS ones also completely disappears from my face within about 2hrs. Barely a trace of foundation left. I moisturise and put on SPF after, and I try with setting sprays. Recently I've even tried with a good quality setting powder, even though they dry me out, and it made no difference. It just seems impossible or me, or I just can't find a foundation that works for me. Thanks all the same for trying to help. Best regards. @@RoseGallagher
I had rosea until I diligently went to work on my nutrition. I very seldom have even a slight flare up. I do think a good makeup does help to protect your skin from irritants.
Great video I love it cc cream. I bought the book with products. I have no idea how to use them I would love a video on it. I'm sure alot of people would love it Thank you
Great video and presentation. This video is longer my attention span but I watched the entire thing. I loved the explanation and content. Using your iPhone I got a “real” feel for the products rather than other vids. Others appear filtered and I’m left feeling… my application doesn’t look like that..but with this vid it looks more realistic. I dunno what’s going on with IT cosmetics. I started using IT cosmetics when it first came out when Jaime advertised it herself on tv. Best best best thing out. I’m sure no one remembers the white tube moisturizer. Coverage and 50spf in one and you can tell it looked like real skin. These CC cream variations can’t compare. Since L’Oréal took over I find the products are not the same. Also they discontinued the miracle water which I’m so disappointed about. It really was the best best best. I hope they continue the eyebrow pencil and vitality face palates.
"Radiant" foundations to me just make people look like they have super oily skin, I don't see it as "glowy" skin at all. I've tried to use them, now that I'm getting older and have drier skin now, but I just don't like the way they look. 😢
Very informative video thank you, you really enjoy your job I can tell . I’m a 68 year old with olive complexion , I do however have a couple of age spots and wrinkles, I don’t like anything heavy , what would recommend for me please? I’ve never used IT cosmetics . , but can’t wait to try. Thank you
My friend loves the CC cream and speaks highly of it. I eventually broke down and recently got it. I dont like how thick and goopy it is. Sorry. But I really did want to like it.
I’ve tried both the original and the matte and both are super heavy for me. Also it seems like no matter how much powder I apply it just never dries down. I know so many people love it but it’s just not for me.
So sorry to hear they're feeling quite full for you Holly. I agree, they stay quite creamy on the skin and don't necessarily set, it's largely because of the skincare base. Have you tried the Your Skin But Better Liquid foundation? Based on what you've said here that might be a nicer alternative for you, it's less coverage too. X
@rosegallager PLEASE! ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED! Does IT have a base that is for cool toned skin? All ive seen seems and looks VERY yellow. That will never work for me! My other issue.. is i cant color match my makeup for my skin color to save my life!! I need a color matching blend. Light-light medium. I hate matt finish. I like dewy. I found one almay and they discontinued. I bought what i could find online and im almost out... Spending $10-15-20-30 on a bottle or tube that gets used once is ridiculous to me i dont want to go broke! ANOTHER ISSUE... i have aging skin. Im 53. I also have redness I dont want to look like im wearing clay with lines! Please help. Thanks so much!❤
Hi Rose, thank you for your video and all the information on the CC creme. I wanted to reach out to you about rosacea. It's caused by a vitamin deficiency... especially A and E. I also had it and began taking a healthy regimen of vitamins each day instead of prescription medication. Within a few weeks, my rosacea was completely gone. Haven't had a breakout since.
Hi Rose! Such a good video, thank you for that! I'm a big fan of the CC cream. Would you say that one of them would suit for bridal make-up? It does need to last long and preferably not transfer? I am considering switching to this line for my brides.
Just bought this for the first time and I’m gutted I just really don’t like it. It’s so tacky, my hair is always stuck in it and it just slides and sinks into fine lines 🥺 it looks like it’s melting throughout the day even with setting powder
Love the eye makeup also! So simple and natural but beautiful! 😊 I have issues w my mascara smudging under my eyes ugh... any suggestions? I use waterproof and cruelty-free ❤ Thank you!!!
Hi Stacie, I have the same issue & have tried a lot of tubing mascaras. My favourites are the Clinique one or Victoria Beckhams mascara. VBs is clean make up & as far as I'm aware does not test on animals.
I love the oil free cc cream its really the only thing that hasnt broken me out. But i have such an issue with it seperating and looking spotty and huge pores start coming through. Wondering if anyone else has had this problem and if there was a simple fix?
I used to love the cc creambut they changed the colours. The fair/light uses to be perfect for me but it is now too orange/yellow tinged and does not suit my pinkish skin. The colour range in the lighter colours is now very poor- either way too pale or too yellow/orange. Very disappointing.
I'm sorry to hear you haven't found your match yet - I'll feed this back for you and in the meantime feel free to pop to any counter and I know the team would love to help you find the right shade for you X
@@RoseGallagher Thanks but I've done that and the new' fair beige' is the nearest match to me as it has pink tones in it but it is too pale for me. I need the pink tone but with the intensity of the 'light' shades which the fair/light used to be!
I've tried using the CC cream on and off since I first saw it years ago on QVC. My biggest problem has always been tthe base color. I have very pale, fair with cool undertones. Every single color I tried ended up giving me a sickly pale green/gray color. My neck and body had a pink color and my face looked sallow. I had so many sales associates try to match me and even they could see it. I don't know what ingredient does this, but I've even noticed on my sister who keeps trying to make it work. It's really unfortunate.
I wish this wasn't in 480p because it's hard to see the skin and how the cc cream looks. Maybe it's just my phone. The original runs too orange on me . Good tutorial though
I am trying new makeup techniques. I sae that using finishing spray before applying foundation or cc cream to help my makeup stay put. would love to know what you think. TIA I love your video. New to your channel.
Thank you. For me it always looks cakey and the color was too dark or too light :-( I gave mine away or would use when traveling in the car on long road trips as a strong spf versus one with a white cast.
I bought the nude glow in Sephora and they gave me light medium; I am fair and blond. I wasn’t sure it was the right shade when I went back they told me I should be light fair which I feel washes me out a little.. I need someone to match me the right way because it is a good product.. please advise, ty
Rose, the Bye Bye Pores powder is amazing. The first time I used it I was gobsmacked! I had seen videos of showing it was good but I was skeptical until I tried it! It is really that good. It's wonderful to someone else with rosacea looking so beautiful even without the makeup. The problem I have is the redness gets worse as the day goes on & starts to show through. Do you have suggestions?
I have rosacea and would like to try the oil free cc cream but when I visited 4 IT cosmetics counters in Boots, John Lewis etc but found there was no assistant to help. It would be an expensive mistake if I got the wrong cc cream or shade. Do you know if this is the same for every store ? Great video though. Really think this would be a great product for me. X
What if you are older with very dry skin? I find the makeup dries me out and that accentuates wrinkles. Any ideas? I do always moisturize in layers underneath but perhaps if I could find a primer that would hold in the hydration. I have tried It primer. Would petroleum jelly be ok to use?
Yeah I have the silver and the blue tube one and both are awful. Thick texture, and patchy and uneven on skin and greasy looking right from the get go when applied. The silver one is supposed to be good for dry skin yet on my combination oily skin it emphasises dry patches that you would not see with even a regular liquid foundation. And don't even get me started on the shade range.
How can I extend the longevity of the cc cream? I’ve been using it for years now but recently moved to a warmer country and I can’t get the cream to last longer than 2 hours. I’m not a fan of setting powder as I have slight texture and lines around my eyes. I used to use the pink one and now moved to the glow one. I have oily/combination skin and it’s mostly to unify my color so I don’t want full coverage. It really sits on my skin all day and transfers everywhere (I use 1 pump only)
Hi, I'm considering buying the CC nude glow, but I have seen a lot of comments about the smell. That concerns me. Have you ever tried Garnier BB cream light? Because I think the smell of that is way too much. So much perfume. Is it like that?
Hi Josefine. It definitely has a scent to it, yes, so you might like to try at a counter before you buy. I tried that Garnier cream a long while ago, and from memory I think it would be slightly less noticeable in fragrance. You are super welcome at any location though, so do pay a visit and feel free to road test before you commit! XX
Hey there! I'm so sorry to hear that. If you have any particular feedback please feel free to let me know and I can share with the team for you. I can also see if there's any follow up videos I can make for you so that you continue to get your use out of it xx
with the original CC cream I need 2 pumps for my whole face. The coverage is great but I find it too shiny even though I have super dry skin. What can we do for this?
Hi Debra! Yes absolutely, it should be on the back towards the middle. If it has rubbed off which it sometimes can, pop to your nearest counter and they'll be able to tell you which one it was so that you can replace it XX
Hey, great question! It isn't waterproof necessarily, but I find that the Oil Free version lasts well on a hot day or with sweating. The Bye Bye Under Eye concealer is actually waterproof, if you wanted to use that instead of a foundation it would be great XX
Hi, I really love the classic cc it suits my skin so well. The colour is a problem as I’m using light medium but I need a warm tone colour down from this. When I look in Boots they appear to go to a cool tone. Fair light is too pale. What do you suggest? Do they mix to make a shade? If so which do you recommend. The light medium is becoming a little dark as winter comes I need it paler but still a warm tone otherwise it looks too pale. I hope you can help ❤
Very good to know, thank you for sharing and I will feed this back for you! Out of interest have you tried the Neutral Medium, it's the shade in between those two? XX @@MinPinSteve
Hi Mandy, thanks so much for this feedback and I will definitely pass it along for you. The Light, the shade in the middle, tends to come up a little bit more golden. See how this would wear (you could try it on in Boots from the tester before you buy). Otherwise, the new CC Nude Glow has lots of different shades in between. It's less coverage but the shades are very different and cater to a wider selection of undertones within each shade family. In the meantime I will share your findings with the team, they all help to form decisions on new launches! XX
@RoseGallagher I would love help finding cool, pink undertones (for a light complexion- not too fair, not too medium). A sheer, skin-tint look. Maybe the Matte, maybe the Nude Glow.... more of the natural, no make-up look but I will try anything. Details appreciated

I have not found anything that doesn’t transfer when I blow my nose. I had brain surgery 16 months ago and the right side of my nose runs a lot. I’m doing great by the way! 😊
Hey there! First of all, I'm so pleased to hear your surgery went well and that you're doing well now! Re the make-up, I'm afraid anything really will come off once you blow your nose. The best suggestion would make is to bring a little portable touch-up stick with you, something like the Lancome or Urban Decay sticks which have a little brush at the end of them, and touch up your nose after blowing. XX
@@RoseGallagher what are Urban Decay sticks? I’m familiar with the Urban Decay brand. Are you talking about concealer?
Glad that u are doing good after your surgery 🙂😊
I'm glad the CC. Cream works for you. I found it heavy and greasy on me 😢. Good video
No.7 makeup covers much the same as IT, but cheaper! I have Redness and it covers these.
Thanks for the tips. Do you have any more for dry skin? I have dry skin (no flaking) and I experience two problems with the original cc: 1) It settles really badly into my fine lines and wrinkles, even though I’ve dabbed off any excess product. I can’t use powders. They all dry me out. 2) It dries my skin out. It feels so nice when I first out it on. I moisturise, I use a hyaluronic acid primer and setting spray, and still it dries me out like only mattifying foundations do.
Hi Erica, thanks so much for these insights and I will use them to make some follow up content! In terms of setting your makeup, do you ever use setting spray? I used to be a bit of a cynic about most of them but recently I've found a couple of great ones (Half Magic Beauty and the classic from Urban Decay) and they really do make a difference and help to precent any makeup settling but without needing powder. And then in terms of the dryness, how often do you exfoliate? I wonder if you slotted in an exfoliant maybe once or twice extra a week whether it would make a difference to how your makeup sits and feels. Let me know and we can take the rest from there XX
Thank you for your reply. Yes, I do use setting spray. I have never tried Urban Decay's, I think it's too expensive, but I have bought about it many times. I exfoliate almost every day. The foundation just settles like crazy into my fine lines, so does the NARS light reflecting foundation. The NARS ones also completely disappears from my face within about 2hrs. Barely a trace of foundation left. I moisturise and put on SPF after, and I try with setting sprays. Recently I've even tried with a good quality setting powder, even though they dry me out, and it made no difference. It just seems impossible or me, or I just can't find a foundation that works for me.
Thanks all the same for trying to help. Best regards. @@RoseGallagher
@@erichajohansson5018hyaluronic acid will take moisture from your skin if the air isn’t humid. It can be great stuff but it can also be very drying.
@@lizroberts1569 Really? I have never heard that before. Good to know. Thank you for all your kind replies.
Thank you Rose for such an informative video
My pleasure Libby, thank you so much for watching. X
The original is great coverage and stays in place for me with powder.
So happy to hear that Vicki! X
I had rosea until I diligently went to work on my nutrition. I very seldom have even a slight flare up. I do think a good makeup does help to protect your skin from irritants.
I'm glad to hear you found what works for you! X
Great video I love it cc cream. I bought the book with products. I have no idea how to use them
I would love a video on it. I'm sure alot of people would love it
Thank you
I love this product which I used for a year…..I just wish I could still afford it…$47….heavens!
I hear you, it's an investment for sure. I'll make sure I share some great high street alternatives in some upcoming videos. XX
Great informative tutorial! Can't stop looking at your gordious lipstick, is it It Cosmetics? Could you tell the colour please? ❤
I had rosacea for many years. I reduced my sugar and carb intake and my redness was greatly reduced! For me it was a Hugh insulin issue.
Great video and presentation. This video is longer my attention span but I watched the entire thing. I loved the explanation and content. Using your iPhone I got a “real” feel for the products rather than other vids. Others appear filtered and I’m left feeling… my application doesn’t look like that..but with this vid it looks more realistic.
I dunno what’s going on with IT cosmetics. I started using IT cosmetics when it first came out when Jaime advertised it herself on tv. Best best best thing out. I’m sure no one remembers the white tube moisturizer. Coverage and 50spf in one and you can tell it looked like real skin. These CC cream variations can’t compare.
Since L’Oréal took over I find the products are not the same.
Also they discontinued the miracle water which I’m so disappointed about. It really was the best best best.
I hope they continue the eyebrow pencil and vitality face palates.
"Radiant" foundations to me just make people look like they have super oily skin, I don't see it as "glowy" skin at all. I've tried to use them, now that I'm getting older and have drier skin now, but I just don't like the way they look. 😢
Each to their own, there are some lovely more velvety foundations too that can look just as lovely! XX
Very informative video thank you, you really enjoy your job I can tell .
I’m a 68 year old with olive complexion , I do however have a couple of age spots and wrinkles, I don’t like anything heavy , what would recommend for me please? I’ve never used IT cosmetics .
, but can’t wait to try. Thank you
Love this product!!!
My friend loves the CC cream and speaks highly of it.
I eventually broke down and recently got it.
I dont like how thick and goopy it is.
Sorry. But I really did want to like it.
verry good review on CC creams. really showed me what I wanted to find out. I just subscribed to your channel. 👍
I love the original coverage but how do i get it to last longer?
Love these products. Used them for years in the summer. Question, what is the name of the primer in this video please
Thank you 😊 I’m giving the CC oil free a try.
I’ve tried both the original and the matte and both are super heavy for me. Also it seems like no matter how much powder I apply it just never dries down. I know so many people love it but it’s just not for me.
Have you tried using the matte WITHOUT using powder on top. If not, give it a try.
Have you tried using less? I’ve had to tweak how much I use with each formula.
So sorry to hear they're feeling quite full for you Holly. I agree, they stay quite creamy on the skin and don't necessarily set, it's largely because of the skincare base. Have you tried the Your Skin But Better Liquid foundation? Based on what you've said here that might be a nicer alternative for you, it's less coverage too. X
That's a perfect solution, I'd have said the same! X
I agree, I use slightly different quantities for each one! X
Hi is the oil free CC good for mature wrinkly dry/combo skin?
@rosegallager PLEASE! ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!
Does IT have a base that is for cool toned skin? All ive seen seems and looks VERY yellow. That will never work for me!
My other issue.. is i cant color match my makeup for my skin color to save my life!! I need a color matching blend. Light-light medium. I hate matt finish. I like dewy. I found one almay and they discontinued. I bought what i could find online and im almost out...
Spending $10-15-20-30 on a bottle or tube that gets used once is ridiculous to me i dont want to go broke!
ANOTHER ISSUE... i have aging skin. Im 53. I also have redness
I dont want to look like im wearing clay with lines! Please help. Thanks so much!❤
Hi Rose, thank you for your video and all the information on the CC creme. I wanted to reach out to you about rosacea. It's caused by a vitamin deficiency... especially A and E. I also had it and began taking a healthy regimen of vitamins each day instead of prescription medication. Within a few weeks, my rosacea was completely gone. Haven't had a breakout since.
For those who care to know, IT is owned by L’Oreal who tests on animals even though they (IT) are “cruelty-free”
I didn't know that.
Thank you for that info....I didn't know that about IT and who owns it.
No wonder the products suck now
Really😢
Go away. Boring…
Very informative! Thank you!
Thank you so much for watching Kathryn, I'm really glad it was helpful! X
The matte is more flattering on me. I find the OG highlights the texture
Lots of people love the matte! I think the glowiness of the original could be the reason why. I'm glad the oil free is working well for you! XX
Oh wow the oil free would be so much better for me. I hope I can get it in Canada
So so wish it was available in SA....😢
Hi Rose! Such a good video, thank you for that! I'm a big fan of the CC cream. Would you say that one of them would suit for bridal make-up? It does need to last long and preferably not transfer? I am considering switching to this line for my brides.
Just bought this for the first time and I’m gutted I just really don’t like it. It’s so tacky, my hair is always stuck in it and it just slides and sinks into fine lines 🥺 it looks like it’s melting throughout the day even with setting powder
Love the eye makeup also! So simple and natural but beautiful! 😊 I have issues w my mascara smudging under my eyes ugh... any suggestions? I use waterproof and cruelty-free ❤ Thank you!!!
Hey Stacie! Have you got a tubing mascara? I find that they are the best for never smudging. This one is Clinique Lash Power. X
@Rose Gallagher thank you but Clinique tests on animals 😥 I will look for something similar tho! Thanks!!
Hi Stacie, I have the same issue & have tried a lot of tubing mascaras. My favourites are the Clinique one or Victoria Beckhams mascara. VBs is clean make up & as far as I'm aware does not test on animals.
@@aoifeneary-moylan5734 thanks I will check it out... I have never heard of these tubing mascaras!
I bought the regular version today in the shade light.
Fantastic news! How are you getting on with it? X
I absolutely love it. I wear a MAC primer underneath and a Tarte powder on top and it lasts all day. It looks great.
I love the oil free cc cream its really the only thing that hasnt broken me out. But i have such an issue with it seperating and looking spotty and huge pores start coming through. Wondering if anyone else has had this problem and if there was a simple fix?
What eyeshadow and lip gloss are you wearing?
I used to love the cc creambut they changed the colours. The fair/light uses to be perfect for me but it is now too orange/yellow tinged and does not suit my pinkish skin. The colour range in the lighter colours is now very poor- either way too pale or too yellow/orange. Very disappointing.
I'm sorry to hear you haven't found your match yet - I'll feed this back for you and in the meantime feel free to pop to any counter and I know the team would love to help you find the right shade for you X
@@RoseGallagher Thanks but I've done that and the new' fair beige' is the nearest match to me as it has pink tones in it but it is too pale for me. I need the pink tone but with the intensity of the 'light' shades which the fair/light used to be!
I've tried using the CC cream on and off since I first saw it years ago on QVC. My biggest problem has always been tthe base color. I have very pale, fair with cool undertones. Every single color I tried ended up giving me a sickly pale green/gray color. My neck and body had a pink color and my face looked sallow. I had so many sales associates try to match me and even they could see it. I don't know what ingredient does this, but I've even noticed on my sister who keeps trying to make it work. It's really unfortunate.
I wish this wasn't in 480p because it's hard to see the skin and how the cc cream looks. Maybe it's just my phone. The original runs too orange on me . Good tutorial though
Hey there! You can get it in 4k on the desktop :) X
I am trying new makeup techniques. I sae that using finishing spray before applying foundation or cc cream to help my makeup stay put. would love to know what you think. TIA I love your video. New to your channel.
Thank you. For me it always looks cakey and the color was too dark or too light :-( I gave mine away or would use when traveling in the car on long road trips as a strong spf versus one with a white cast.
I bought the nude glow in Sephora and they gave me light medium; I am fair and blond. I wasn’t sure it was the right shade when I went back they told me I should be light fair which I feel washes me out a little.. I need someone to match me the right way because it is a good product.. please advise, ty
Can you tell me what lipstick your wearing ?
Rose, the Bye Bye Pores powder is amazing. The first time I used it I was gobsmacked! I had seen videos of showing it was good but I was skeptical until I tried it! It is really that good. It's wonderful to someone else with rosacea looking so beautiful even without the makeup. The problem I have is the redness gets worse as the day goes on & starts to show through. Do you have suggestions?
I have rosacea and would like to try the oil free cc cream but when I visited 4 IT cosmetics counters in Boots, John Lewis etc but found there was no assistant to help. It would be an expensive mistake if I got the wrong cc cream or shade. Do you know if this is the same for every store ? Great video though. Really think this would be a great product for me. X
Do you set with powder
I use the original .love it .very dry skin perfect for me
So happy to hear that! X
Looks great 👍
Thank you! X
How does setting work over it for staying powder
Rose, would really love to know where your gold flower necklace is from in this video please? Thanks x
Hey Hannah! Of course, it was from Missoma and luckily was in the sale! XX
Did you use anything on skin before the foundation?
What if you are older with very dry skin? I find the makeup dries me out and that accentuates wrinkles. Any ideas? I do always moisturize in layers underneath but perhaps if I could find a primer that would hold in the hydration. I have tried It primer. Would petroleum jelly be ok to use?
Mine is always orange and it transfers everywhere
Just came across your channel really like the video just subscribed
Hi Diane, thank you so much, I really appreciate it! XX
Yeah I have the silver and the blue tube one and both are awful. Thick texture, and patchy and uneven on skin and greasy looking right from the get go when applied. The silver one is supposed to be good for dry skin yet on my combination oily skin it emphasises dry patches that you would not see with even a regular liquid foundation. And don't even get me started on the shade range.
Sorry to hear that these aren't working out for you and I'll feed all of this back. X
How can I extend the longevity of the cc cream? I’ve been using it for years now but recently moved to a warmer country and I can’t get the cream to last longer than 2 hours. I’m not a fan of setting powder as I have slight texture and lines around my eyes. I used to use the pink one and now moved to the glow one. I have oily/combination skin and it’s mostly to unify my color so I don’t want full coverage. It really sits on my skin all day and transfers everywhere (I use 1 pump only)
Has anyone mixed the cc cream and the nude glow together? Does it work?
Hi,
I'm considering buying the CC nude glow, but I have seen a lot of comments about the smell. That concerns me. Have you ever tried Garnier BB cream light? Because I think the smell of that is way too much. So much perfume. Is it like that?
Hi Josefine. It definitely has a scent to it, yes, so you might like to try at a counter before you buy. I tried that Garnier cream a long while ago, and from memory I think it would be slightly less noticeable in fragrance. You are super welcome at any location though, so do pay a visit and feel free to road test before you commit! XX
Hi, lovely tutorial thank you, is this good for sensitive skin? X
Hi Kelly, yes it's very comfortable! XX
@@RoseGallagher thank you 😊 xx
I love the cc cream, but the nude glow version is a thumbs down from me. Was very disappointed in it!
Hey there! I'm so sorry to hear that. If you have any particular feedback please feel free to let me know and I can share with the team for you. I can also see if there's any follow up videos I can make for you so that you continue to get your use out of it xx
with the original CC cream I need 2 pumps for my whole face. The coverage is great but I find it too shiny even though I have super dry skin. What can we do for this?
Do you have a setting powder? I find that a light dusting of powder over the original formula can make a big difference to take down the dewiness. XX
Hi Rose can you please tell me where on the CC regular tube is the color stated? I need to replace it.
Hi Debra! Yes absolutely, it should be on the back towards the middle. If it has rubbed off which it sometimes can, pop to your nearest counter and they'll be able to tell you which one it was so that you can replace it XX
Question...is this waterproof for a person who sweats heavy and last all day in that case? Thank you
Hey, great question! It isn't waterproof necessarily, but I find that the Oil Free version lasts well on a hot day or with sweating. The Bye Bye Under Eye concealer is actually waterproof, if you wanted to use that instead of a foundation it would be great XX
Thank you for this, very informative. I was scared to try the matte version but now I'm confident to give it a go!!! 🤍👍🏻
Has anyone compared dermablend VS It cosmetics CC cream ?
I love this Foundation but it doesn't last long for me
Hi, I really love the classic cc it suits my skin so well. The colour is a problem as I’m using light medium but I need a warm tone colour down from this. When I look in Boots they appear to go to a cool tone.
Fair light is too pale. What do you suggest? Do they mix to make a shade? If so which do you recommend. The light medium is becoming a little dark as winter comes I need it paler but still a warm tone otherwise it looks too pale. I hope you can help ❤
I have the same issue. I ordered 2 different shades and I use the ratio of 2 medium tan to 1 tan. It helps and lasts a long time.
Very good to know, thank you for sharing and I will feed this back for you! Out of interest have you tried the Neutral Medium, it's the shade in between those two? XX @@MinPinSteve
Hi Mandy, thanks so much for this feedback and I will definitely pass it along for you. The Light, the shade in the middle, tends to come up a little bit more golden. See how this would wear (you could try it on in Boots from the tester before you buy). Otherwise, the new CC Nude Glow has lots of different shades in between. It's less coverage but the shades are very different and cater to a wider selection of undertones within each shade family. In the meantime I will share your findings with the team, they all help to form decisions on new launches! XX
Was the Light Medium cool-toned? The Light is warm-toned.
@RoseGallagher I would love help finding cool, pink undertones (for a light complexion- not too fair, not too medium).
A sheer, skin-tint look.
Maybe the Matte, maybe the Nude Glow.... more of the natural, no make-up look but I will try anything. Details appreciated
I bought it some time ago it's so thick and it was impossible to 😊use
Sorry to hear that Marie - hopefully you might find something useful in this video. X
