Having used luxury brands for years, I'm picky about beauty products. However, I gave IT Cosmetics CC+ in Neutral Medium 12ML a shot. Always the skeptic, I wasn't expecting anything spectacular. To say that I was pleasantly surprised is a vast understatement! While my skin is in good condition, as a middle aged woman that has spent most of my life outdoors, it's definitely seen its better days. The IT Cosmetics CC+ has a perfect spreadable consistency - not too thick, not too thin. It isn't goopy, chalky, oily or watery. It has the feel of a quality moisturizing cream and travels across your skin like an eager tourist with sights to see. The formula settled into the surface of my skin and by the end of the day, it was still in the same place.

Always the skeptic, I wasn't expecting anything spectacular. To say that I was pleasantly surprised is a vast understatement!

The IT Cosmetics CC+ has a perfect spreadable consistency - not too thick, not too thin. It isn't goopy, chalky, oily or watery. It has the feel of a quality moisturizing cream and travels across your skin like an eager tourist with sights to see. The formula settled into the surface of my skin and by the end of the day, it was still in the same place. There was no sinking into my pores and no feathering into the fine lines around my eyes. In addition, my other makeup products blended seamlessly into the CC+ cream and were still workable. Over the past week, I have played with the CC+ cream and tried different things with it. I've discovered that it's easy to use it as a lightweight tinted moisturizer, and that it is also buildable for use as a full coverage foundation. While I don't have dark circles under my eyes very often, I do use a concealer on those days where sleep has been elusive the night before. I was able to use the CC+ in place of a separate concealer, and also as a primer on my eyelids for shadow to rest on. In both instances, there was minimal creasing at the end of the day. Also, after gym time, patting my face with a damp cloth seemed to reset the product and it was good to go for another couple of hours. The last test was how my skin felt after removing my makeup in the shower. The IT Cosmetics CC+ did not leave my skin dry as many products do. Highly recommend! I received the IT CC+ cream in Neutral Medium 12ML from Bzzagent in exchange for an honest review.

A Bit Lackluster

I know this foundation has been a staple in the beauty space for years however I have yet to try it so when BzzAgent gifted this product free in exchange for my honest review I was excited to say the least.This foundation is average. It isn’t too bad but it doesn’t preform as the brand describes.Firstly the shade range is abysmal. They have many tone options in the fair shade range but few options for any other shades leaving many tone gaps and even shade gaps the deeper the foundations go.For reference I am NC 25 but this foundation’s Light shade was too dark/pink. In theory it should be too light for me. But the next warm toned shade was also too dark, and the step lighter warm shade was ghostly pink. I almost never have issues choosing or companies ... MoreI know this foundation has been a staple in the beauty space for years however I have yet to try it so when BzzAgent gifted this product free in exchange for my honest review I was excited to say the least.This foundation is average.

In theory it should be too light for me. But the next warm toned shade was also too dark, and the step lighter warm shade was ghostly pink. I almost never have issues choosing or companies providing my shade so I was a bit shocked.The foundation is a slightly thick but creamy consistency making application with a beauty sponge a breeze. The formula feels comfortably hydrating on the skin. I would describe this as medium buildable coverage, you can still see some of your natural skin through this foundation so if you are truly looking for full coverage you will want to skip this one. This foundation played nicely with all of my other cream and powder products without issue.Unfortunately in just a couple hours the foundation began to oxidize and only became more orange throughout the day. My skin is dry and I rarely have this issue with any foundation.This foundation seems like hit or miss, if you are interested and can find a shade match, I would encourage you to try it and see how it works for you.

Awesome foundation but don’t use any silicone base

I always loved the original CC cream, but as someone with oily skin, I always hated the eventual greaseball effect caused by the original formula’s emollience. This formula is totally free of that and somehow manages to keep your skin hydrated as well. One thing I’ve noticed is that this foundation HATES SILICONE PRIMERS. If you use anything that’s pore-filling, this will literally just slip and slide on top and settle in pores because I believe this is meant to be used by itself. I layer this on top of my Japanese Kiss me Mommy SPF 50 and spread it out with my fingers/artis brush and the affect is stunning and super poreless. This formula does not cause deep creasing like the original one did when I bake with it. This foundation is very blurring as well.

This product is totally only for like a day look, not for sweaty night out going to the club or gym. When you’re extremely greasy and you touch your face, the transfer/sliding off is quite severe so just make sure you powder before touching.A cool aspect about this product is that 8 hours after doing my makeup I re-set my foundation with powder and added a second wet layer overtop with a sponge where the product faded and it lays on top of itself seamlessly. Super thrilled with this formulation and I adore the blue metallic packaging.

Beautiful finish, great for everyday

I have combination skin with an oily T-zone and some dryness but I love a healthy glow. I don't like looking matte and dull and sometimes I can get away with foundations that provide hydration if I wear the right products underneath like a good primer or skincare that balances my complexion. At first this foundation was looking a bit too dry and cakey around my mouth and it would melt so quickly on my forehead and nose sliding all over the place. I have to admit I wasn't a fan except for the fact the the coverage was beautiful initially and the SPF was a plus. As I started using it more and more and changing my skincare routine now I love it!

I think it is important to note that you have to have a proper skincare routine in order for a makeup product to work for your skin type. Still to this day I only get about 4 to 5 hours of wear with this foundation and then it starts to wear off, but it wears off much more beautifully and fades naturally without me looking like a grease ball. I use this as an every day foundation for me. Like I said I LOVE the coverage. I don't like to show my natural freckles much so this covers them well and also any redness and discoloration I have. It looks healthy on my skin. The color looked a bit darker on the tube but it actually matched me very well. I am a light-medium usually with yellow-golden to olive undertones. It has a nice scent that is not too strong but pleasant and it applies so well and quickly with my foundation brush with no streaks too. It feels very lightweight as I buff it out which makes it perfect for every day use, personally. When I am in a rush or need ro run a quick errand, this is my go to foundation specially because it has SPF in it!

Better for indoor use than outdoors

Background: I'm in my early 30's and my major skincare concerns are acne scarring/redness and uneven skin tone, and I have oily/combination skin. I typically shop for medium to full coverage foundations with a matte finish to cover up my flaws and last throughout the day.Pros: The IT Cosmetics CC+ cream foundation provides medium coverage that can easily be built up to full coverage. It blends easily with just your fingers or a brush/makeup sponge without leaving streaks or creasing awkwardly in wrinkles and smile lines. I love that this product has such a high SPF as other foundations will typically have somewhere in the SPF15-20 range which just isn't enough for where I live!.

I love that this product has such a high SPF as other foundations will typically have somewhere in the SPF15-20 range which just isn't enough for where I live!. The product packaging is sensible as a squeezable tube ensures that you can get almost all the product out, as opposed to glass containers which usually have so much product left in them before you throw them out. The nozzle dispenses just the right amount of product and just a little bit goes a long way.Cons: I tried using this product under a variety of weather conditions and I found that on days when it's sunny, hot, and/or humid it gets very sticky on my face. I feel like that defeats the purpose of the SPF if I can't use it outdoors. It performs best indoors in temperature-controlled environments, and applies significantly better with a brush or makeup sponge, but still requires a setting powder on top to prevent the stickiness. It's a very heavy product. It's also not transfer-proof, which is a very important feature to me in the summer.Bottom line - I wouldn't purchase this CC cream. Although it provides excellent coverage, the point of SPF is to use outdoors when the UV index is high, but that's exactly when this product performs the worst.

Full-Coverage Lightweight and Great Protection

I really like the IT Cosmetics CC+ Cream Full-Coverage Foundation with SPF 50+ and I enjoy using it because it offers great benefits. This foundation provides protection for the skin and is great for many seasoned makeup wearers. I like that it is lightweight, easy to apply, blends well, and provides good coverage.This foundation leaves my skin feeling soft and also hydrated not too thick or clogging. I like that this foundation goes beyond color-correcting to include full coverage and anti-aging serum with mineral sunscreen all in one. I find that the IT Cosmetics CC + Cream Full-Coverage Foundation with SPF 50 + has worked much better than other foundations I have tried, but I should have chosen Rich Honey instead of Deep Honey.

I have highly recommended it already to many of my friends because they love the way it looked on me.I would buy this product in a different shade and the only other con I have is the packaging. I am not a fan of the tub the top gets stuck and then with the pump products you end up leaving a lot of product in when it doesn’t pump out anymore. I would love if this product came in a Cushion Form. I am thankful that I received this product to try for free and I am very happy to have found it.

Love My It cosmetics CC cream!

Look, I am a HUGE fan of the entire It cosmetics line. I love their makeup and their skincare. I use their illuminating CC cream, their bye bye foundation, and now I use their full coverage, color correcting CC cream. I own all three formulas and I love them! I recently received the Color correcting CC cream in the shade medium from Bzzagent, in exchange for my honest review. I wear medium in their illuminating CC cream, and I also wear shade medium in their bye bye foundation, so I chose the shade medium in their color correcting CC cream. I will admit, this shade of medium is a bit darker than the other two formulas they have, but it does oxidize after about 20-30 minutes. It has more of a tan tone to it, rather than my other two which are more of a light medium. ... MoreLook, I am a HUGE fan of the entire It cosmetics line. I love their makeup and their skincare.

I will admit, this shade of medium is a bit darker than the other two formulas they have, but it does oxidize after about 20-30 minutes. It has more of a tan tone to it, rather than my other two which are more of a light medium. It doesn't stop me from using it though, because it's still very close to my skin tone, just a bit darker. When applying this, I use the IT cosmetics foundation brush to blend all of my it cosmetics foundations with. I put a couple drops on my hand and face, then I take the brush and buff it all in until it's evenly distributed. I absolutely love this formula as I do the rest of their foundations. I also like to mix my illuminating cc cream along with this color correcting one I received, and it gives me a beautiful full coverage glow that I go for. This cc cream is actually more full coverage than the illuminating cc cream AND the bye bye foundation. This applies very smoothly, and makes my face look so much better. My skin appears glowy, more evenly, and more even. I love how this cc cream covers up any imperfections or dark spots that I have on my face from sun spots. Like I said I only use it cosmetics foundations anyway, so I'm thankful to own all three formulations now. This cc cream is the bomb, and I have been using it every single day, It doesn't make my skin oily, but yet hydrated and provides me with enough SPF to go through the day without it wearing away. I can apply this in the morning and 8 hours later it's still there and my skin still looks just as good as it did when I first applied it. It cosmetics cc cream is some of the best formulas out there, and i recommend for all ages, skin tones. I love the fact their shade range has increased too, so many more people can experience what an awesome formula this really is. If you want a full coverage foundation that covers your imperfections, evens your skin tone, doesn't look cakey, provides your daily dose of SPF, and doesn't clog your pores? It cosmetics color correcting cc cream is the way to go! Apply with a brush I'm telling you. Beauty blenders soak too much of the product up. Overall, I am thrilled to own this formula of the it cosmetics brand, and will continue to use this brand forever.

Love This Product!

I was not expecting it to be so close to foundation, so I was a bit skeptical. I wear full-coverage foundation, but was interested in all of the skin-care benefits of this product. It has phenomenal coverage and is buildable. It feels really light on my face. I am able to leave it as is, or add concealer and bronzer/contour if I’d like. You do not need to put powder over this, where’s foundation, and other BB and CC creams require a bit of powder to stop from creasing and shining. As far as wear test, it held up my entire workday, which is from 8 am into the evening. I have combination oily and dry skin, more so on the oily side, so I hate shining. Hyaluronic acid helps with oil-control by keeping your face moisturized, not needing to produce as much sebum, and it ... MoreI was not expecting it to be so close to foundation, so I was a bit skeptical.

I would definitely recommend this product to my friends and family who want something to make their face even-toned, light, and great skin-care benefits. If you are a full-coverage foundation-wearer, this pairs well with foundation! I used it alone and with foundation and I enjoyed both looks! But if you want this product to replace foundation-looks, I would say stick to foundation because BB and CC creams are not meant to be as full-coverage as foundation. They are meant to have greater skincare impact than coverage. This product does cover up scars ad I have melasma, which is extremely deep hyperpigmentation that is symmetrical on the face. Something that covers that is a great product! I would recommend to users who wear makeup daily and those who want a makeup look occasionally.

My new Holy Grail

I recently purchased the light/medium shade of the It CC cream. I'm in my mid-60's, brunette with brown eyes and pink undertones to my skin. The best match for me in most cosmetic lines' foundations is a shade with pink undertones, toward the darker end of the fair range. It Cosmetics' light/medium CC cream has some pink but also a lot of yellow to it. If I stick to a light layer of the cream, my natural pink undertones are visible and it's very attractive. But if I accidentally use just a little more, I look unnaturally yellow. The strong yellow component to foundation seems to be a thing with cosmetics companies recently--perhaps because it cancels out redness--but it doesn't work for me.That being said, I'm very happy with all other features of this CC cream.

It somehow gives good coverage and uniform look to my skin while allowing a hint of the natural color in my cheeks to show through. This product does not settle into lines. I do use a touch of blurring cream over the CC cream to minimize lines around my mouth. I pat on a very light touch of a serum moisturizer under the CC cream. The cream then stays put with no loss of coverage, migration or color change until I remove my makeup in the evening. If I get a little shiny, I just dab my face with a cheap sponge which removes the shine without removing the makeup. (I attribute the staying power to the CC cream, not the sponge.) My highly sensitive skin is actually looking better than before I started using the CC cream. I'm so thrilled to find skin makeup that looks good without breaking down my skin barrier with ingredients like chemical sunscreens. Thank you, It Cosmetics!

Nice cc+ cream but not best value

This is a tricky review for me to write because there were aspects I really liked about the it cosmetics cc+ color correcting full coverage cream but there were others that I really did not care for. I received a tube of this product to give an honest review on.To start I will say that a little goes a long way! The first time I tried it I dispensed the 2 pumps the directions instruct you to do. That seemed to be way too much. It was very creamy, smooth and spread well, but I definitely did not need one to two pumps. That day my face felt too greasy for my liking and seemed to look a little too cakey. The next day I used it, I ended up depressing the pump not all the way down to dispense about 3/4 of a pump, and that seemed to be a good amount for me.

The next day I used it, I ended up depressing the pump not all the way down to dispense about 3/4 of a pump, and that seemed to be a good amount for me. That day my skin looked and felt a lot better. It does have a scent which is hard to describe, but almost is like mild minty or menthol type of scent which actually was not displeasing to me, and seem to fade rather quickly.The fact that it is creamy and provides full coverage would definitely be a pro in my opinion. The 1.08 oz tube for $44 does not contain very much, but since you really don’t need much that would seem to be a pro. However, in reading the directions for use, it says to re-apply every two hours because it is also a sunscreen. This would be completely unaffordable to me personally, and would leave me looking way too cakey, and not feasible to re-apply if I had a full face of make up on. If I am going to have to re-apply lotion every two hours I think I would just stick with the Cerave light face lotion with spf that I was already using. That has the same instructions for reapplication but contains almost twice the amount of product for a price point of $19 versus the $44 price point on the it cosmetics item. If I were just planning on using it as more luxury primer/foundation/cc cream then I may be willing to treat it more as a splurge product or if I were to see it on sale or if I had a c
