I love ELF products usually but I'm a little confused as to why so many people rave about this one! I'm sure I'm in the minority here, so If you've tried this and you love it....please help me understand how I can make this work xxx

60 years old with fine lines...I love this...it was a game-changer for me. I use a brush and buff it in or use a damp sponge. It lasts all day, doesn't transfer under a mask. I've tried a lot of foundations over the years and was thrilled to find this one finally...and the price!
I used ELF illuminating primer underneath and it helped a lot. I'm 62 years old, so consider that. Good honest review. Great video.
Yes, a primer is a must. I don’t believe she used one. Try a primer on half the face and no primer on the other... big difference 👍
Good comment! I never saw this lady before but its a great video. I thought $15 was way too expensive for an ELF product and was afraid it would be that concealer in a bigger package.
I use this every day and love it. My 41 yo skin is very dry, fine lines of course, and a moderate amount of texture on my chin. I use a facial oil underneath and spread one pump on my cheeks, forehead, nose and chin then blend out with a damp sponge bringing any excess down my neck. It does give you a bit of radiance but personally I love that about it. It lasts all day and I don't notice that it transfers onto my mask any more than any other foundation I've used this past year. It's a total win over here!
I agree with you I have oily mature skin I don’t use much & after I apply with brush I use a sponge to tap & remove access I also love the concealer have no issues forgot to mention I use elf primer too
I’m going to try applying it the way you both recommended because it didn’t work for me with a brush. Thanks for the tips.
@@shamrocksmom if it is too thick for you add a drop or so of light foundation or tinted moisturizer
Just a side note, have you tried Elf's booster drops? I keep a steady stock of it. It has saved SOOO many foundations for me. Tarte Face Tape foundation? I nearly completely wrote it off and tossed my brand new bottle until I tried it with the Elf hydrating booster drops. Now, it's actually decent. Of course, I'll never buy Tarte Foundation again, but at least now I can use the bottle I own without hating every moment of it. Those booster drops are a life saver!
@@lifeafterforty007 I have not... Do they add only hydration? Or change the color as well? I have the full coverage Charlotte Tillbury foundation and it gets cakey and dry on me but it was so expensive that I hate not being able to use it up.
Can I say again *best close-ups in the biz*! Actually one of the few that's even useful. Most just look like a soft-filtered zoom - I don't think that's the intention, bc we're supposed to be seeing what it looks like on the skin". Thanns for the excellent slow close usp soo we don't even have to pause, go back...💜
I wanted to like this product. Been trying it several weeks with different moisturizers & primers but it still accentuates every line & pore in my face. I'm ready to write this one off.
Me tooooo I wanted to LOVE this and between not finding a great color and the texture it’s a hard NO for me
I’m 35 with dry skin and I had the same issues with this product. I wanted to love it but I haaaaaaated it!!! It just clings to the tiniest line or dryness no matter what.
I totally agree with you, my skin hated it. I had same results as you. Kinda of relieved to see I'm not alone. I watched so many reviews, and I tried it several times before giving up. I do have dryer skin too. Was a hot mess for me lol.
I received mine today and was excited to try it. My skin is normal at the moment - mature, wrinkles, maybe a bit dehydrated. First impressions - good coverage, very shiny, quite thick. Settled into pores, made my eyes look crepey and dry. Will try again but not apply to eye area, and with a sponge. A bit disappointed so far. Will keep trying
I heard their bb cream is more hydrating.
Double primer I heard helps much!
I tried Elf Camo because so many influencers compared it to IT CC+, which at age 50 is my go to foundation. I was extremely disappointed...your review is totally in line with my experience.
How are you Gemma? I'm sorry about your day and hope you are hanging in there!! I literally placed an Elf order yesterday, but I decided to wait for your review before buying this. If the price had been lower, I would have ordered it just to try... but I agree with you that it is priced higher than I want to pay for an affordable foundation. The influencers I've seen who love this all have beautiful, unproblematic skin. I think I will save my money for now!❤️❤️ Thanks for the review!😉
Oh my word, this looks quite unflattering on you. Thank you for testing it on your dry skin and saving us from the experience!
I’ve been trying this for a couple of weeks and I totally agree. This foundation accentuated every imperfection I have, mind you my skin isn’t perfect but it’s not bad either. This foundation aged me terribly. I’m in my early forties so I’m beginning to deal with aging concerns. People always comment that I look young for my age, but I did not feel or look young while wearing this. I totally agree with Jemma, as I wore it throughout the day it just got worse and worse. The foundation never seemed to set even with using powder. By the end of the day, it looked as if it had shrunk into patches on my face. I honestly had never experienced this before with any other foundation. I’m totally passing on this one. I can’t seem to make it work and get the results everyone else seems to love. 🤷🏻♀️
Thank you so much for posting the close ups in natural lighting.
I love it...I mix a half pump of 120n and half pump 150c and it’s perfect. If I use too much, like a whole pump of either then it’s way too much for my pores and texture. I’ve stopped using regular foundations because of this cc cream. My skin loves it and I live in a very hot dry climate and have dry skin due to hormones..I’m 51 btw so my skin is very picky now.
Thank you for saving me money. I was considering purchasing it but now I know better. You and the Wolfpack have done a great job describing your experiences so I know already what to expect. ☺️
Me too
I wish I would’ve seen this before I bought it. It evened out my skin tone but showed all the texture!
I am 53, have combination skin, and tried this ELF CC cream. I used the Elf illuminating primer and still got the same result you did. Dryness, product separation, and settling. I agree with you on the pro's it goes on nicely and is good for some discoloration but has no staying power. Thank you for your review.
My 54 year old normal to dry skin did NOT like this foundation. I was so disappointed because so many reviewers really liked it and I love ELF. But as usual Gemma, we totally agree on another one! You’re so good at what you do!
I'm sorry it didn't work for you... but the people I saw that loved it were a lot younger than me. I have large pores and wrinkles as well.❤️
Try Marcelle CC. I’m 55 and love this product. Got it on Amazon Canada $23
@@biatch1966 can you do a video showing the marcelle cc from Amazon would love to see it as I'm 50 and am trying to find out how I apply my makeup and not emphasize my fine lines and dry skin. Thank you in advance👍
Thank you for your honesty as always. I know I can trust you. I know I’d look like a balloon covered with papier-mâché and a face drawn on if I tried this as my lines would be a magnet!
Omg your description just made me cackle! I'd look the same, an absolute ton of foundations make my lines ridiculously prominant no matter what tricks I try.
Great comment! What is your favorite foundation? I am having a hard time finding one for my 58 year old skin? Thank you😉
@@Patti-1962 hi Patti! I swap between Missha BB cream or a sunscreen by Soltan with a tint to it - but with both of these I have to put serum and moisturiser on at the very least as my skin is so dry. I love the serum foundation and BFF by Trinny but cannot wear them at present as the perfume irritates my skin but if you can get on with them they are great and don’t sink into lines.
@@devilscustard I love Trinny! I will look that up. Sooner or later I will be able to leave the house again!😊
Completely relate to feel like ‘“disaster followed me Around”. I may have to borrow that line. CC creams are now doing the same thing to me. Even ‘It’ cosmetics, - right into lines, pores, emphasizing texture. Not pretty. I used to love it.
I have the same issue. I always wonder when I hear people saying that they love it so much but it doesn’t last a long time well then I think to myself what’s a long time? I just cannot keep that stuff on my face longer than an hour and it doesn’t do anything for me but people rave about it. I really wish that kind of thing works for me but it doesn’t and I just did the urban decay one that just came out and that one’s just exactly the same but everybody said that one had excellent coverage. After a while you start feeling a little bit duped. Anyhow we are all different that’s for sure so for anyone this kind of thing works for good for you I’m so happy for you because it is nice to have your skin look nice in like skin as they say.
Kristen I have the problem as you when it comes to these CC creams, one hour and there gone and I feel kinda of feel duped as well. I am struggling to find a foundation that is more skin like that will last all day. I have mature combination skin at 55 with lines so I am struggling to find a good foundation right now and I’m seriously thinking I won’t find what I’m looking for I already have 10 bottles of foundation that don’t really work for me.
@@b.b7305 Try the Catrice foundations. Noone bloody talks about them and they are absolutely gorgous, long lastic, velvety textured and feels like skin. You’ll be shocked.
@@IshaHaHa-fw2df Thank you for help, I've been hearing that the Catrice HD should be good so I think I'll check that brand out.
Would love to see you remake some of your older videos with updated thoughts. Your foundation reviews are the best.
I usually have realy dry skin, especially in these very cold days. I wanted to share with you how I got rid of dryness on my sensitive and dry skin. Highly recpmmended is the "SOS" series of Madara Cosmetics, particulary the SOS serum (morning and evening) and the SOS hydrating mask to use as long as you need to hydrate the skin until the result is suitable (maybe a few days on a daily basis) and then whenever you feel you need it. In the moment of applying this mask, you can feel the calming and relaxing effect. Add 2 drops of Tamanu oil (smells terrible, kind of vegetable soup, but very affordable) to the serum in the evening. With adding these to my routine I have no issues with dry skin anymore. I am so happy I found these, because I did not think that there is something that could help, especially when it comes to natural ingredients that are not irritating my sensitive skin. Worth a try!
I'm 47 in June with combo skin. Oily tzone. I have used this product for over a year. I adore this elf Camo CC!
I have it, but haven't tried it yet! I powder my entire face always, so some of these issues likely won't bother me. I felt like the shade was too light for you, actually! Thanks for trying it though!
I wish I saw this video last night! I watched a few and they all had great reviews and looked great on the person. When I tried it out today, it did the same thing to me, but even worse. It texturized the hell out of my skin. Clung to all my dry spots(even tho they were looking good before applying). Even used the poreless primer on one half to see if it looked different. I love elf and usual I like everything from them, but this one is a huge miss. Maybe if you don't have dry skin it'll be fine 🤷♀️.
I'm 57 and have normal/dry skin. I purchased this foundation a couple weeks ago. The first time I used this, I used too much product and applied with a brush. Disaster. Since then I'm now applying very little , putting dots of foundation on my face and then blending it in with a damp sponge. I like it much, much better. It is heavier than my Loreal True Match which is much more skin like, but I was looking for a CC cream. I'll use this up before I make a final decision. Thank you Gemma. How are you holding up during lockdown?
Maybe elf took 'camo' too literally (as in camo print) and the patches and flakey bits were part of the design .. 😆🤣
I'm so glad to see I'm not the only one who had this happen with this product! Settled in all my creases and pores immediately and did not look flattering from the get go. I'm 60 with "mature" skin, and much prefer the Loreal Age Perfect Serum Foundation. Enjoy your channel, happy weekend!
I have been curious about this. I didn’t care for the IT CC Cream. I found it too thick. So curious how you feel about this. I tend to trust your judgement.
Omg this review was so timely! I was on the elf website just the other day. So glad I didn't order. Thanks (as always) for your honest reviews. ❤
Like you I also found this foundation applied best with a damp blending sponge. You also don't want to use more than one pump, any more than that and it will cake up. Overall i like the foundation but i won't say it's a favorite.
Thanks for the update. I love how you give a real life shot of your skin. You are awesome and so beautiful in your presentation.
I’m dry skin too, but since I started using CeraVe moisturizing face and body cream. Problem solved . Now I don’t have any problem with any foundation.
I'm 34 but oh boy , you had been helping a lot with all your reviews . Thank u and blessings to you and ur family .
I just bought this and was so excited and it completely broke apart on my skin. After only a few hours. It gave me eye wrinkles where I didn’t have them before and completely settled into my smile lines. Ive never experienced such a bad result and was completely disgusted with the way it looked. I’m going to try it again with a primer even though I normally don’t like to wear them.
I also use a cream contour stick and it made it look super smudgy and broke up the cc cream.
I had this exact same issue! I was shocked by how horrible this is on my skin. I threw away the box, so I now have to do something with it. Let me know if you find a good primer match.
It looked so pale on you, almost a white cast. I'm glad you tried it, great information given!
Hi Gemma,thank you.Have a nice weekend.
I do my skincare at least 30 mins before I apply I apply a combination of primers and then later when I'm ready to apply I use elf's pore less putty primer it's a lovely natural matte on my face I love this cc cream
Nothing beats my missha bb cream. It's the best! I do love the stila CC Cream. Anyone looking for a new one, try it!! Evens skin tone, stays put and I have combo skin. Doesn't make me oily nor stick to my dry patches.
I just got my tube a couple of days ago, I was excited till I got it on my face. I'm between colors and I bought light but it sat on my face like a mask I blended it out with a sponge but it still left polka dot pores on my nose. Later in the day my skin looked dry and wrinkled, so yeah I'm 62 and dry and wrinkled but I do try to not accent that fact. :-) Today I mixed it with another foundation that was darker and it helped but not enough to make me want mix them everyday. I was hopeful that this would be a great foundation, not.
It did the same thing to me. I'm 31 with slightly dry skin & minor fine lines & wrinkles. It seemed to stick to them all like a magnet & didn't last the day for me either.
It says on the tube, CC (color correcting) Camouflage. I thought of it as foundation. It is not. It’s what is says on the tube. I don’t have those problems so for me I don’t use it. But! I can say that of the 10 Elf products I’ve bought there are only two I don’t use - an eye pencil which is great but too hard to wash off (for me) and the Camouflage your showing. The rest are 10 out of 10 for me after a months trial. Elf have revolutionized cosmetics and absolutely beat out some very high priced items. I give Elf the gold medal.
So glad I watched your video today! Just saved me from wasting money on this product. I have seen people ranting about it( in a good way). I have normal to dry skin and thought this might be a salvation!!??? .. If if your skin looked like that, I don't think I even want to attempt it now.😒 Down the yellow brick road looking for the holy grail of a foundation! Thanks for all your investigative work in the land of beauty.
Me too, Cynthia. I wish I could go sit at Ulta and try foundations until I could find the right one. Unfortunately we can't do that right now. I bought the Believe Beauty Skin Finish foundation from Dollar General and it looks amazing on my skin. I'm going to stick with it until things open up a bit and I can go try foundations out. i also tried the Fenty powder foundation, but I had a reaction to it, and it looked terrible on my skin!
I have the worst of all skin issues. Oily. Large pores. Fine wrinkle. Texture. This was a godsend for me. My skin was so smooth and wrinkles diminished. Not sure I can get away with it in summer but I'm loving it
did you prime with anything? it sits weirdly on my skin and i don’t know what i’m doing wrong
@@nawrockamaja no primer. Just oil free moisturizers
Thank you for this video. I tried this foundation and hated it. After all of the rave reviews I thought it was my application but now I know that it wasn’t.
I agree with your assessment. I tried it and I found it quite drying. When I removed it my skin was absolutely parched.
Try adding a drop or two of apricot oil (or any other type of facial oil) unto your skin before applying this CC cream.
Dry skin gals like us yearn for moisture and dewyness for the most part, so definitely worth giving it a second chance.
I use Marcelle CC and it is a great option and I’m 55. It gives a subtle dewy look on my skin. Throughout the day it never feels cakey and does not flake. I purchased it on Amazon Canada. $23 Canadian dollars
What's the coverage level like on the Marcelle, is it very sheer or light to medium?
@@stracey1874 light to medium and gives a nice glow. No breakouts on my skin for me
This is a very helpful review for me. We are not only shade twins but also have the same skin type. Thank you!
Combo skin. I enjoy it. I lightly powder in the t zone and it’s beautiful. Last 6-7 hours. Not my favorite but an affordable every day easy to blend option.
I love ELF products. Won't be buying this. I'm like you, the more affordable the better! Love your nails!
Omg I LOVE your so real reviews. I am so in need of your help. Thank you so so much. Btw YOU HAVE THE BEST BROWS EVA
I live in a very dry desert climate, New Mexico (EEUU), and my skin has become really dry while living here. I absolutely agree with you, this ELF Camo foundation is not great for dry skin, especially if you're over 40. It has accentuated every little line and my pores. I'm sad. But some people have mentioned that the IT Cosmetics CC cream would be more emolient and beneficial for dry skin like mine.
Plus i had to mix two different shades, just to get my true match. I used the Light 240W & Light 280N
I had same exact reaction as you. Also over 40 and dry. Concluded all the youtubers rave reviewing this are 20.
I had the same experience with the Elf CC on my combination skin. It just looked terrible. I have had good luck adding a tiny bit of it to my light coverage tinted moisturizers (to get more coverage out of them).
Don't stick your brush in a blob on your hand. If you want even coverage, tap dots evenly all over your face and spread them out
It showed ever pore on my face!!! Made my face feel greasy and I don’t have oily skin
Hi Gemma, sorry to here you've had one of those days, despite that you came through for your 'pack' well done. Thank you for review, i don't think my 58yr old dry skin would appreciate it. I'm still chuffed with my Fenty powder foundation, and that's down to you!. 🐺x
I actually bought this last week and think it's quite nice. I've oily combination skin and 58. I found you need to use a small amount of product as a little goes along way 😉
Wow. My skin is very similar to your but more texture and older. So this is probably a no. I have been using th No 7 product like this one..I think you recommended. Would love a comparison between all the new CC type creams that have come out..No 7, Urban Decay, NYX, L'oreal, etc. Love watching you and your reviews.
I have dry skin too. I had the EXACT same experience. I tried again because I wanted to like it. So prepped my skin with hydrating moisturiser, oil and glow mist by pixi before applying this Cc cream and worked much better. Still didn’t blow my mind away. I’ll keep giving it more tries as I don’t know want to throw it away :(
Dang, I've got eyebrow envy! Totally took me by surprise, but there ya go - eyebrow envy indeed.
I've got so many really good/great foundations so I'm not interested in buying this (it was never on my radar).
I'm happy you've reviewed it tho, as you appear to have similar skin problems as me.
Unfortunately, I don't have similar eyebrows 🥴 💜💞🌸💜🌸💞💜🌸💜
😂😂😂😂 I feel your pain, Chrissy! I can count the number I eyebrow hairs I have.❤️
This foundation has been laughably awful on my skin. I’m in my 30s with combination skin and I’ve never had any foundation emphasize my pores the way this did. I really wanted to like it because the coverage and shade were great. But honestly, both times I’ve worn it it’s not only clung to my dry patches but it’s made my pores look massive. It looks as though a tiny little elf went around my face and packed each pore to the brim with rock solid putty. Definitely returning this one.
Oh yikes! Thanks for taking one for the team! ❤
I had the same exact problem with this one. I was quite disappointed. It was cakey, looked splotchy in areas that never have problems, and felt almost heavy on my skin. I tried with a few different primers, without a primer, with both a brush and sponge, and nothing made me like it on my face.
I WAS NOT IMPRESSED..both with the formulation and in the colour range...not enough choice for me with my winter skin...maybe in summer!
Have you ever tried Pur Cosmetics foundation? The have one foundation that online has 100 foundation colors. It’s an American company and you have to go their website to get all 100 choices. It’s expensive but not Chanel expensive.
I did not love this stuff, I actually wouldn't have bought it had I known how it was going to sit on my skin- it is hard to fix once it is on, I don't like how it spreads or the texture- just not a fan, but then I wasn't a fan of the IT Cosmetics product this claims to rival, so I guess I should not be surprised!
I WANTED to love it...
New to your channel, love your stuff so far!
Glad I watched this. That would look terrible on my skin. Thank you for making this video
I wonder if age has anything to do with it? Just watched a review from a youngster and this is her favourite. As for me, I'm even older than you and everything you say is correct for me, too. As it's supposed to be a moisturiser as well, I first tried without a moisturiser bit couldn't spread it at all. I only use a teeny amount now and it is better as less is more, but the pores show up a lot and I've found wrinkles where I didn't know I had them. Good review.
Sorry, you've had a bad day. Hope you are fine now.
This CC cream is not for me, but thanks for reviewing it.
Love, hugs and kisses 😘
Haven't tried this but I really really appreciate your review 💛
It covered my rosacea well. It felt nice and creamy going on but like Gemma says it settled in dry areas and looked patchy.
I haven’t tried this yet although most reviewers seem to love it. I did buy Missha BB cream Jessica Braun loves. It purchased shades 21 and 23 both shades look gray when putting in my hand but miraculously perfectly matches my skin tone after application. It is magic. What is Korea doing to their stuff that we aren’t?!
Can you only buy it on Amazon
@@Natalie-gb8tt i bought the missha from Beauty & Seoul
@@Natalie-gb8tt i saw it online at tkmaxx for half the price!!!!
@@naabzy yes I’ve just ordered a bottle from Tk max in the shade bright beige, I hope it’s pale enough for me.
Try tea tree oil blemish stick on your blemish and avoid any products it should dry up in 5 days 😉💕
Love the video, you’re as entertaining as normal and you do look lovely but I’m not trying this foundation. I have just bought The Ordinary Coverage Foundation the other day and I think that looks really natural and wears nicely (even walking for a couple of hours in below freezing temperatures yesterday!) xxx
Actually, I think you should have went a half shade darker. ❤️
That’s the problem with this collection, there aren’t enough shades for fair skin so the step up would have been way too dark for me xxx
My exact experience with this foundation. I was so disappointed because I found my exact match and the coverage is amazing
I was waiting for this, and yes I want to save some money too. Great review
I love how it covers & cc is amazing. How ever....it's not good for dry skin. It settles in every crease n wrinkle I have. A sponge did give better but I won't be using it. I'm 52
Hi Gemma, I have done a lot of overtime at hospital and think I could treat myself to some good makeup. Would you recommend the chantecaille cushion foundation over the chantecaille pot please? You have helped me so much over the past few months. Love you 😘
What's your skin type?
I am dry. I subscribed to dermatica like you suggested and I’m on tretinoin and my skin has really improved. I’m 38 years. Sorry to bother you on family time. I just totally thrust all you do. 🤩🤩star struck here
@@nicolajablokov7509 you should treat yourself at this point.... hospital workers deserve a good treat to themselves!!! I feel that because she has all different kinds of skin, meaning textures and such she has a pretty good grasp on it & I KNOW she loves the Chantecaille so much. It must be “gold” in a pot though, it comes with a tag.... I do however like that they donate to orphan elephants. That kinda cool. I have never taken that deep dive on a particular luxurious foundation. Love watching her when she talks about it!! Lololol
Ohhh I hope you let us know if you love it! I’m thinking the same product.
I have noticed that the neutral shades are actually pinky which may be why you had trouble finding a good match.
I am only 31 and have combination skin and it was so disappointing all I needed was something with spf and little to medium coverage
I’m 38 I have some fine lines and combo skin and this CC cream is okay. I think it will be ok in the summer when I’m more oily but in the winter here in the US north eastern coast it’s cold and dry and my skin is dry I look cakes in it right now
Blemish, try mighty patch the one with "needles" not real, I have had luck with those. Thanks. God bless you. I like your videos.
Good, honest review but you lost me straight away with the pump on the tube. I've had s couple of serums in this type of packaging and it starts off great, but as the tube empties you have to squeeze the tube whilst pressing the pump. Not easy with one hand but you can't use both or you've nowhere to put the product!
I have found if you store them standing on the lid you are able to get most of the product out. I store my crave ultra light moisturizer/ spf that way and you can get pretty much all of the product out of the tube. Made all the difference.
@@Aimee-Gates I tried that but ended up cutting the tube open. There was about a quarter of the serum still inside and I wasn't prepared to waste it. Some products drain down well but this one (No 7 retinol serum) did not want to come out 😄
I have bought the ELF B.B. cream many years ago it only came in 3 shades I liked it but it was more like a foundation. The downside to this was it didn't come in my shade and I wanted a lighter coverage, and not a foundation 🤷🏽♀️ Long Story Short this new CC cream reminds me on the old BB cream LOL..🤦🏽♀️ 🙃
I had the same problem with transfer. It was terrible and ruined my top AND my husband's shirt.
Thank you for saving me time, money, and frustration!
Sorry to hear that you've had a tough day. Seems there's only one word for this foundation, "naff!" Soph.x
I’ve done a review of this foundation too, also on really dry skin so I’m glad to hear I’m not the only one who’s not impressed with it! Please let us know if you manage to find a way to make it work! 😔 x
Thank you so much Gemma!! Being 44 and dry skin, I'll skip this foundation 😉
I’m 56 and I can’t wear heavy products anymore. Shape Tape ages me. I have mixed my CC creams with a glowing sunscreen on my hand before applying to get better results.
What foundation do u use I'm 56 and have dry to combo skin
I either use a CC Cream or Bare Minerals Powder foundation. It Cosmetics CC or Missha CC Cream. I sometimes mix Volutions illuminating mineral sunscreen into it before applying. Most days I just use Bare Minerals though. Is you apply a sunscreen first and really buff into the skin it covers and looks amazing. My mom is 79 and only wears Bare minerals. It looks fantastic on her. When she tries to wear a liquid foundation it settles into her wrinkles and she hates it.
Thanks Gemma for reviewing this product. oxoxox
Hummmmm. Was interested, not sure now but need to finish reading reviews.... I notice sometimes the it cc cream does the same thing to me, when I use it. Yep.
I didn’t like it either, I am pretty tan and the medium is dark, it is not full coverage and quite greasy and I have dry skin. I did mix it in with my favorite foundation and I liked it that way,
Thanks for this video!
I have some dryness too I’m trying to resolve. What are your personal favorite CC / BB creams or even tinted moisturizers ?
Thinking of trying No 7 next.
My parents are from Paisley, Scotland ... so I can relate to being frugal! I am very much! 🏴
I've tried quite a few cc cream dupes for it cosmetic to amount of money I've wasted trying them I could have just bought the it one lol I do want to try the boots one I've heard good things about it
I’ve heard this foundation is very much like the It Cosmetics CC cream. I’ve never liked that one much, so I wasn’t interested in this one. I did find the if I used a very small amount of the It CC cream it looked much better. I just have very nice foundation options at home already so I wouldn’t be open to adding something new unless it was amazing.
The IT CC is 5000 times better on my skin xxx
Well your very pretty i think it looks good you look glowing.
