I never write comments or leave feedback, but this is absolutely the most in depth review. What I would have had to go watch 10 different videos for, you achieved in 15 minutes. You gave us all the details of your age and skin type, and were able to jump right into the products without rambling for 10 minutes first. You told me every single thing I wanted to know about the product including UP CLOSE views and wear tests. I also love that all your products tested were a wide range of costs to give a variety. 10/10, I will definitely be coming back for more!!! Well done!!! @everydayedit you need to check her out- you’ll LOVE her!!!
At 48 years old, it was so delightful to find information about beauty products being shared by someone other than a 20-something-year-old. Thank you for being relatable with with my same face concerns!
Girl, I LOVE you for alllllll these videos that you do for us “hot and flashy gals”! I’m 55 and I soooooo need these videos! You’re saving us all so much time and money searching for products that actually work...thank you! P.S. You’re GORGEOUS! xo
I just started wearing make up for the first time in 12 years! At 50 it is scary to try make up again. You are saving me so much time and money! Thanks for all the hard work!
Yeah! I'm so glad the "it" CC cream won because I've been wearing it for years along with the "it" powder. I'm 64 and I don't even bother with foundation anymore. Thank you for all your hours of testing. It gets so overwhelming trying to find products for aging skin so your help is very appreciated.
I literally just came here to say exactly the same thing!! I have a similar skin texture (pores etc) and find it VERY HARD to find complexion evening products that are worth even covering it up over just spot concealing. This video is incredibly helpful 🥰
I very much appreciate that you give recommendations for all skin types not just yours and that you don't accept sponsors proving the highest level of integrity. You rock!
I love that you let us know how each of these wear after a couple hours. It's something missing on so many reviews that is so important if you want to use anything in actual life
You are the best product testing and reviews channel on youtube. No one gets as close as you do or puts as much time and effort into testing each product!...not even close! I especially love that I can see your face like you were right in front of me! Other channels don't do this. Your concealer review is also the best ever!! Really appreciate the time and money you save me by watching your videos!
BB cream was developed in the 1960s in Germany by a dermatologist to help her patients after surgery or peels. Really interesting history. Korea made it huge and it made it's way into the US. Love it!! Love your channel too!!
You’ve helped me so much to learn how to adjust my make up and skin care to fit my aging face. I really appreciate the time and research you put into these videos, the links, and that you show how the products your demonstrating wear after a period of time, 2, 5 hr, etc. Just wanted to say thank you.
I’m really into tinted sunscreen and tinted moisturizers rather than foundation these days. I feel like they make me look younger rather than older like most foundations make me look.
Thank goodness I've found someone who posts content perfect for me! I'm 59 years old and have difficulty finding products that work well on my less than perfect, hot and flashy skin.
Hi Angie. Because of your recommendation over a year ago I have been using the L’Oreal BB cream. I love it for my easy makeup days. Also love the Channel foundation. Your channel got me started watching RUclips. So, of course, you are my favorite one to watch. ❤️
@@erikaknowlton7441 The white one is called L'Oreal Magic Skin Beautifier BB (she shows it at 11:12). It comes in various tints, but just looks white when it comes out of the tube. Not sure that's what you were asking, but just in case...! :-)
You are my salvation. My experiences in the big beauty stores varies so widely. Sometimes I get great information, and great advice. Sometimes I get over sold on the item du jour, or I get snubbed and dismissed because I’m over 50. Now I go in armed with a wish list of products that I can expect will work for my needs. You always look fantastic, and give me hope!
The Australian Gold sunscreen does NOT work for dry skin. It’s awful, so dry skin gals be aware. My go to is the LaPoche Rosay SPF 50 tinted. Works beautifully under makeup also. Best primer to blur imperfections too. Added bonus. Also, that Hourglass tinted moisturizer is not new. I’ve been using it for years & it’s great for dry skin.
That sunscreen is a "powder matte" which doesn't work for me either. I love the Hourglass skin tint. Caroline Hirrons said it was her favourite foundation. It actually looks better and better through the day.
You are absolutely stunning. I'm 62 and haven't worn makeup in a long time. Living in the South with heat and awful humidity it's hard to keep makeup on. I'm a new subscriber also.
I watch A LOT of RUclips tutorials and you are by far my new favorite! Thank you so much for being genuine and giving straight facts about the products, it was a huge help!
You’re amazing, thank you so much for a thorough review. Your skin is incredible, too. I’m just hitting 40, and my holy grail make up is not looking so great anymore. I haven’t worn much makeup since the pandemic halted working in the office and business travel. Then, I put in a full face for the first time in ages and it looked horrible. My skin is older and everything was patchy and made my pores look awful, every line was highlighted. Now what!? I’m researching to find a new foundation and your video is the first that actually shows how the makeup looks on mature skin. I love that you address all the concerns-oxidation, pores, patchiness, settling into lines-that I had when looking for a new product. Thank you for a wonderful and informative video!
I am always amazed at all the testing you do to weed out the icky stuff! I am SO glad you showed the L'Oreal Magic BB!! I have never tried it but I have been wanting something that ISN'T full coverage or that looks like makeup! I like something that looks natural but pretty when I wear jeans or am kicking around during the summer. I tried the IT and it was a NIGHTMARE. It was greasy, slid all over, settled in EVERY line, was SO glaringly shiny and worst of all TURNED ORANGE! I made the mistake of wearing it during the summer to have my driver's license picture taken. OH LORDY!! It doesn't even LOOK like me ! The glare, the sweaty looking skin, and all my makeup smeared and melted! NEXT time I will follow one of your SWEAT proof summer makeup examples and definitely use one of the matte/satin finish! I only wish I could have studio lighting instead of that dumb bright lightbulb they use at the DMV! LOL!! They should let us older gals BRING IN a nice STUDIO shot!!
I was just looking for some bb cream/tinted moisturizer recommendations (I hate foundation lol), but my mouth dropped when you said 55! You're beautiful!
Thank you i bought the Chanel Perfection Lumiere velvet and it worked after years of nothing ever working on my 50 plus skin next is going to be the IT cosmetics cc for holiday. You give good recommendations that work.
Being on quarantine, I've been watching your videos and you are just wonderful! I, too, am a in my 50's (51) and there is not much out there for those of us in our fabulous 50's. Most department stores have been having online sales do to store closings so I wanted to grab a few things. Being that we are all just hanging around the house, I thought a good BB cream instead of a foundation would be great. I still want to feel pretty but I don't need a full face of makeup. There are so many BB creams on the market and when I stumbled across your page, I was so excited as it is hard to buy makeup without testing it. I was also thinking of trying a cream eyeshadow after watching another one of your reviews. Thank you so much for taking the time to do such great reviews and demos. Stay safe and I look forward to watching more of your videos!
@@AngieHotandFlashy Hi Angie! I can't wait to get my new things and play with them. Your videos are great and addicting to watch! However being stuck in the house, you're not making it easy to control my shopping! I want everything you talk about...LOL! Now I think I need one of those ring lights and tripods you talked about so I can properly chat with my clients, family and friends!
I love the it cosmetics cc cream so much!! I always use it in the summer when I’m going to be outside a long time!! It gives me added sun protection which I love!
You are definitely what I need to subscribe to. Finally someone with my problems. I’m 47 and really struggling with aging mentally. Now my skin is so dry so it’s been hard to find a foundation that moisturize and not settle into my lines and ugh. I hate the word wrinkles lol But I watched the IT cosmetics making like how she got started. Awesome story but anyways I was looking up reviews on it and you popped up. Thankfully you did. Your beautiful and you explain and show the truth about foundation perfectly. Thank you 😊
Thank you Angie 😃 Would you like to do a review on Korean or Japanese BB creams? I personally find the coverage of them quite better, they do not settle into pores and wrinkles too much, stay on nicely all day AND they have a high SPF - 30 to 50.
I’m 20 but I love watching your videos - your work ethic is just impeccable. You never skim on any details, and you pack so much information in every single video you post. I love this channel!
Hi Angie - yup, the IT Cosmetics and L’Oreal look so pretty on you. I’ve tried every which way to Sunday to make the IT work for me, but it just shows every bit of texture, lines, dries me out...there has to be a culprit ingredient in there. My fave BB cream for over 10 years has been the moisturizing mineral makeup from Illuminaire. I def. need a powder with it in the summer but overall my HG BB cream. Great video as always. Xo
I thought I was the only one! The IT CC cream has never worked for me either but Im going to try that AG mineral sunscreen underneath. Maybe it will fill in the lines and pores.
After watching this video I HAD to subscribe instantly. So much effort was placed into making this video, you went straight to the topic, showed close up shots of how the BB creams look like, and listed them in order from worst to best. Overall, you’re amazing!
Angie, I have been wearing both the Loreal BB and IT Cosmetics CC on your earlier recommendations and LOVE them. Glad to know I don't have to replace them with yet another product. Thanks for all your hard work!
Thanks for doing this. I hope you do a part 2, and try including more fragrance-free versions. My current favorite BB/CCs: Smashbox CC spf30, dr jart+ Premium BB spf 45, LaRoche Posay Effaclar BB Blur. I have extremely oily skin so no foundation/BB/CC "sets" on my skin (except the hourglass immaculate fndn which is basically a clay mask with tint), but those three do not emphasize my pores/texture and provide some evening out of skin tone with additional spf without fragrance over my MDSolarScience Mineral Creme spf30 or 48.
I am 42 and I am from country South Australia so my skin sees a lot of sun. I have a lot of redness and have for the past 3 years been using Loreal cc cream. I love it because it's light weight it doesn't accentuate my pores or wrinkles and it dries fairly matte. I have tried so many but nothing comes close to this and when its half price I can get it for about $12.00. Love your channel and thanks for being our " test dummy" when it comes to all things beauty related. Share this ladies videos girls because we all know she's amazing 😘😘😘
I bought the Australian Gold sunscreen you recommended and love it! For years I've been trying to find a sunscreen that I could wear that was comfortable and that I wouldn't burn (I don't tan, I just turn tomato red) and last week I went to the beach and didn't burn! Thanks Angie!!
My daughter gets burned at the tops of her cheeks right below her eyes every year. We'd tried every sunscreen with always same results until the Australian Gold! Now if I could just get her to wear a hat!! xo ~angie
Joanne search for UPF50 hats on Amazon, there's some really cute ones out there. I also got a UPF50 swim shirt that I wear over my suit in the pool, my shoulders didn't burn--that's never happened to me before!
I love that you try the products, and tell the truth on the wear of them. With showing how they show the pores, shiny of skin...etc. Thank you for being real :) :)
I mix the It Cosmetics Cc cream with a little MUF HD foundation and it tones down shine. Thanks for showing your skin up close to seeing how well they cover.
Angie, you have changed the skin of my girlfriends, mom, and myself for the better! Thank you for your effort, honesty, and research! We really appreciate you!!!
Great in-depth review, and comparison. I would say 99.9% of the time I wear the IT CC+ cream. I really think of it as my last step in skincare. Blessings..MaryEllen
Love your detailed videos. My fave is the IT Cosmetics CC Cream. I started wearing this when it was 1st launched years ago. It's the best! I'm hearing they are going to come out with a matte version. Love this original one but yessss a matte would be wonderdul! The L'Oréal one looked really pretty on you by the way. Thanks so much for sharing!
The Chanel CC is a holy grail for me. Stays put all day and looks amazing. My skin is likely dryer than yours so it just feels so soothing all day and looks even. Love it
Hi Angie, You're the first RUclips presenter I started watching, and I've learned so very much from you. So first this is my thanks to you for all your wonderful service to this community. I've tried dozens of the products you recommend, and almost always love your recommendations. In the BB cream category, I've started to use the Shiseido Sports BB Broad Spectrum SPF 50+ WetForce cream and find myself reaching for it often as an everyday light-medium coverage choice. It comes in 3 shades, A small amount goes a long way. It applies beautifully and evenly with sponge or brush and has a lovely finish, dries down quickly, doesn't settle at all in my pores and wrinkles, it wears well all day. I would love to see your opinion on this sometime.
I love the L'Oreal Magic BB cream...thank you....what a money saver....its much better than any of the others I have tried and less expensive. It is a little orange but if you use light and blend it lasts all day.
Thanks Angie for your as always on the point presentation and summary. That‘ll save me so much time, money and bad experiences over days!! Go on rocking with your fab and precise videos full with helpful information!
Have you tried the Bare Minerals tinted moisturizer with spf 30? It's gel based and light coverage. I like it for lighter makeup days. Also there's another Tarte one with spf 30. It has good coverage but too matte for me
Jennifer Smith yyeeesssss!!! The Tarte one is the BOMB! It was my foundation for a long time. Dries down really silky. BB Tinted Treatment Primer. Mineral/physical sunscreen.
Laurie LFH it does give some coverage but for me it just evens my skin tone and hides some redness. It will not cover acne or any major skin imperfections. Hope this helps!
I use the Gardenra BB for a few years and I loved it. LoL. I used Cover Girl tarslusant power over it. I was shocked it was your worst pick. Sorry about my spelling. I had a stroke last year and effect my spelling... 😇
Someone may have mentioned this in the comments but I LOVE Dr. Jart’s BB cream. I know there are only two shades, but like the L’oreal it ends up matching my skin perfectly. SPF 45, all zinc & titanium and I now use it year round. Finger application, easy peasy! Thank you so much for your reviews, love them, love you!!!! 🙋🏼♀️💖
Angie , thank you so much for your in-depth , up close detailed reviews!!! 🌸💕🌷💕🌸 you’ve just saved me some 💰 ..your skin looks gorgeous with light coverage products 👌🏼
Your videos are so informative and well made - really appreciate how you know your ingredients and provide great visuals re oxidation, settling and product texture...not to mention a stunning, articulate woman! Now a committed subscriber!
PrayerLights yes, I started to wear that sunscreen and it’s a game changer for me. Looks so good on its own and under makeup. It wears well, I have a combo skin and it does start to get a bit shinny by the end of the day but nothing a little powder can’t correct. Have a great day..🤗
I also picked it up from her recommendation. I haven't tried it yet. But I love that people are saying it's so great. I used a 20% off at ulta too so it was even cheaper! Lol. The hydro boost spf I've been using is okay but doesn't do anything for my skin other than moisturize. It's just okay in my opinion so I'm hoping the AG will be awesome. Beach next week & couldn't be more excited. Although I should probably test it out before we leave. Lol
The it cosmetics has eucalyptus and citrus which is awful for sensitive skin. I tried it a couple summers ago and ended up with basically a bad chemical burn that took months to heal and fade. Citrus oils can also be photo toxic so I avoid them when I can. The Australian Gold sunblock has eucalyptus also so sensitive skinned people should avoid.
Bobby Caldwell I’ve used physicians formula cc cream (the Shea separates and makes it a bit gritty but it eventually melts as its blended) but for lighter coverage I use bare minerals complexion rescue. My favorite fuller coverage was Rimel 25 hour( red cap) but they changed the formula. I use Boots No 7 lift and luminate and it’s a nice light coverage formulation too.
Like, like like! All the videos I found on this were older, especially for older women. I am 44 and just started using BB cream and like it very much, but I wanted a recent review of some of them. So cool!
I'm so glad I found your channel. You showed me that my enlarged pores and texture are not the WORST THING ever! You look lovely and this review is really helpful as I am off to Tucson for a quick summer (!) visit to my brother and need to try a new and better tinted moisturizer!
Man, how I wish the IT CC cream worked. It's HORRIFYING on me. LOL . Makes every pore, every wrinkle, stand way out. So so awful. My skin looks far better with no makeup than with that. Anyone else that can't use the IT CC? Makes me so sad. I have applied it with fingers, brushes, sponges, nothing made it look acceptable. I keep returning to my Bare Escentuals Original mineral foundation -- the "swirl, tap, buff" one. That makes my skin look amazing, covers redness and melts into the skin. (My skin is normal, a little dry in winter. Maybe the IT CC is better for oily skins?)
Nope, you are not alone. I can't stand that stuff. Looks horrible on me and has a grayish cast to it. I have been using the Sheishedo Sport 50+ and like that much better.
It’s to heavy/thick for me also and it makes my t-zone shine even more! I threw mine away,I guess I should have used a setting powder but that kinda defeated the whole purpose of not wanting to use too much makeup. 😑
Woman of a Certain Age same here! Also the color look grey on me. My favorite one is the NARS radiant tinted moisturizing. It really covers like a foundation but it is light as a moisturizer. I really love it
I'm sooo glad I found this video! I love IT Cosmetics CC cream too! My mom keeps saying my skin is so good that I don't need expensive foundation, but this proves that there is a difference from product to product! I'm on auto delivery via QVC.
The it cosmetics cc cream is finally available in Germany 🙌🏼 and my order arrived today. I will try it tonight and I‘m having such high hopes for it 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼. Thank you for the review and the suggestions for application, perfect timing 💓.
I have to find a BB or CC cream that I like, I use Chanel CC but it breaks up in my t-zone fairly quickly even when I use a setting powder. I must say, I never tried L’Oréal BB cream, I’ll give it a try. It Cosmetics CC cream is worse than Chanel CC for me.
I have actually found the "CLINIQUE Pep-Start Daily UV Protector Broad Spectrum SPF 50" to be a nice choice for low-maintenance makeup days! It's a physical sunscreen, not a whole lot of tint, but it has a nice finish, not sticky, and covers *just* enough to make a difference. I can't stand that sticky feeling so for me, this has been amazing! I'm 49 years old with very typical combo skin. :)
Marissa Baker same for me! I can make the fair share work for me in the winter but its too light in the summer and the light shade is way too yellow. They definitely need a better shade range!
Thank you for your wonderful reviews and for Sharing your skin care regiment so openly. Yesterday I purchased the L’Oréal magic and today two students told me I was beautiful! It’s the end of the day and my face still looks fresh.
Hey Angie!! It cc is my fav too! But I tried Alastin hydratint mineral from my med spa and like it too! Taking both with me for Italy. Have a great weekend! Thank you❤️Boston fan❤️
@HotandFlashy - we have similar skin texture. I am a long time IT CC cream user and found this SUPER helpful. It sounds like I've got the best out there. Thanks for putting in the work! Love your channel
I heard IT Cosmetics is coming out with a Matte CC cream. I sure hope that's true, because I'm too oily for the current CC, but I love the way it makes my skin look. Thank you for this great review, Angie! I had never heard of the Loreal BB cream, but I do live under a rock. :)
I am so happy I found your channel! You are beautiful! I am 39 but genetics aren't on my side! We have very similar issues big pores fine lines drooping eye lids. I stopped wearing makeup all together the last couple of years and stuck to just sunscreen and a little blush to disguise redness in order to avoid aging myself. But a lot of your recommendations have let me wear some new things without drawing a spot light to my genetic aging. The Australian Gold sunscreen has been amazing! Thank You Thank You! Can't wait to see more!

Yes I agree with you!!, that's exactly what I would have said. I'm 55 also, thanks for saving me the time to reply myself.
I spit out my coffee when you said the texture was visible from space 😂. That’s one of my favorite hilarious moments!

I wear it exclusively too. It lasts quite well for me at work all day long.
Gosh you look great in your 50s. Your skin is lovely without any makeup. The redness you mention looks like a glow. I wish I had your skin.
You put so much time and effort into your testing of all products and it’s SO APPRECIATED! Thank you! You’ve helped me so much 🤗🤗🤗
You are beautiful ,thank you for your videos ,even though you need little to no makeup yourself. VERY HELPFULL

@@AngieHotandFlashy Hi Angie! I can't wait to get my new things and play with them. Your videos are great and addicting to watch! However being stuck in the house, you're not making it easy to control my shopping! I want everything you talk about...LOL! Now I think I need one of those ring lights and tripods you talked about so I can properly chat with my clients, family and friends!
I love the it cosmetics cc cream so much!! I always use it in the summer when I’m going to be outside a long time!! It gives me added sun protection which I love!
Sarah Stroud me too! The luminous CC cream is perfect for the summer😘
I wanted to try it...until I red that there is snail slime in it. I can't stand animal products in my cosmetics.
You are definitely what I need to subscribe to. Finally someone with my problems. I’m 47 and really struggling with aging mentally. Now my skin is so dry so it’s been hard to find a foundation that moisturize and not settle into my lines and ugh. I hate the word wrinkles lol But I watched the IT cosmetics making like how she got started. Awesome story but anyways I was looking up reviews on it and you popped up. Thankfully you did. Your beautiful and you explain and show the truth about foundation perfectly. Thank you 😊
Thank you Angie 😃 Would you like to do a review on Korean or Japanese BB creams? I personally find the coverage of them quite better, they do not settle into pores and wrinkles too much, stay on nicely all day AND they have a high SPF - 30 to 50.
Love the miicha B.B. cream too!
Yes, I like the Missha BB cream very much too and it has a good range of colours 👍
Totally wish everyone would try the Missha Perfect Cover. It’s amazing (when you don’t buy it from Amazon).
I’m 20 but I love watching your videos - your work ethic is just impeccable. You never skim on any details, and you pack so much information in every single video you post. I love this channel!
Hi Angie - yup, the IT Cosmetics and L’Oreal look so pretty on you. I’ve tried every which way to Sunday to make the IT work for me, but it just shows every bit of texture, lines, dries me out...there has to be a culprit ingredient in there. My fave BB cream for over 10 years has been the moisturizing mineral makeup from Illuminaire. I def. need a powder with it in the summer but overall my HG BB cream. Great video as always. Xo
I thought I was the only one! The IT CC cream has never worked for me either but Im going to try that AG mineral sunscreen underneath. Maybe it will fill in the lines and pores.
I also have the same problem with the IT CC cream. It makes my skin look awful. Shows all the lines, I never knew I had!
Tried the L’Oréal magic B.B. cream yesterday, and love it on my 59 year old sensitive and dry skin. Thank you for all your hard work 😊
Awesome!! :D
I love Makeup Forever Skin Tint- always get compliments on my skin when I wear it!
After watching this video I HAD to subscribe instantly. So much effort was placed into making this video, you went straight to the topic, showed close up shots of how the BB creams look like, and listed them in order from worst to best. Overall, you’re amazing!
Thanks so much for all your hard work and great descriptions
liz
Thanks so much for all your efforts to help others. i love your posts and thi k you are amazing!
I appreciate all you do for us women. Your complexion is beautiful. By the way I love the way you dress to.
Angie, I have been wearing both the Loreal BB and IT Cosmetics CC on your earlier recommendations and LOVE them. Glad to know I don't have to replace them with yet another product. Thanks for all your hard work!
Thanks for doing this. I hope you do a part 2, and try including more fragrance-free versions. My current favorite BB/CCs: Smashbox CC spf30, dr jart+ Premium BB spf 45, LaRoche Posay Effaclar BB Blur. I have extremely oily skin so no foundation/BB/CC "sets" on my skin (except the hourglass immaculate fndn which is basically a clay mask with tint), but those three do not emphasize my pores/texture and provide some evening out of skin tone with additional spf without fragrance over my MDSolarScience Mineral Creme spf30 or 48.
jcjccmz dr jarts magically makes your skin look beautiful. So awesome for dry skin. In the winter!
Dr. Jart, yes! The golden tube works like magic on my skin. It's perfect, and I like it even more than my It CC.
jcjccmz YES!! Dr. Jart, love it, I hope Angie trys it!
I am 42 and I am from country South Australia so my skin sees a lot of sun. I have a lot of redness and have for the past 3 years been using Loreal cc cream. I love it because it's light weight it doesn't accentuate my pores or wrinkles and it dries fairly matte. I have tried so many but nothing comes close to this and when its half price I can get it for about $12.00. Love your channel and thanks for being our " test dummy" when it comes to all things beauty related. Share this ladies videos girls because we all know she's amazing 😘😘😘
I bought the Australian Gold sunscreen you recommended and love it! For years I've been trying to find a sunscreen that I could wear that was comfortable and that I wouldn't burn (I don't tan, I just turn tomato red) and last week I went to the beach and didn't burn! Thanks Angie!!
My daughter gets burned at the tops of her cheeks right below her eyes every year. We'd tried every sunscreen with always same results until the Australian Gold! Now if I could just get her to wear a hat!! xo ~angie
lol! I wear a hat to the beach or when I know I'll be outside for a while. do you have any recommendations on hats that really block out the sun?
Joanne search for UPF50 hats on Amazon, there's some really cute ones out there. I also got a UPF50 swim shirt that I wear over my suit in the pool, my shoulders didn't burn--that's never happened to me before!
Jill D Thanks for the info! I’ll look on Amazon for the sun hat!
I love that you try the products, and tell the truth on the wear of them. With showing how they show the pores, shiny of skin...etc. Thank you for being real :) :)
I mix the It Cosmetics Cc cream with a little MUF HD foundation and it tones down shine. Thanks for showing your skin up close to seeing how well they cover.
Jayne Nicoletti - I have both products. I will try this. Thank you for the suggestion. 🙂
Angie, you have changed the skin of my girlfriends, mom, and myself for the better! Thank you for your effort, honesty, and research! We really appreciate you!!!
Great in-depth review, and comparison. I would say 99.9% of the time I wear the IT CC+ cream. I really think of it as my last step in skincare. Blessings..MaryEllen
MaryEllen After 60 I
MaryEllen After 60 I enjoy your videos also Ellen.
you are the kind of product reviewer that this world needs more of. this is so informative and real i wish the entire world knew about you
OMG! I wish I will look nearly as good as you when I'm 55! Tons of respect.
The work you put in your videos is incredible
Love your detailed videos. My fave is the IT Cosmetics CC Cream. I started wearing this when it was 1st launched years ago. It's the best! I'm hearing they are going to come out with a matte version. Love this original one but yessss a matte would be wonderdul! The L'Oréal one looked really pretty on you by the way. Thanks so much for sharing!
Graceful Beauty mine is too
The Chanel CC is a holy grail for me. Stays put all day and looks amazing. My skin is likely dryer than yours so it just feels so soothing all day and looks even. Love it
Hi Angie,
You're the first RUclips presenter I started watching, and I've learned so very much from you. So first this is my thanks to you for all your wonderful service to this community. I've tried dozens of the products you recommend, and almost always love your recommendations.
In the BB cream category, I've started to use the Shiseido Sports BB Broad Spectrum SPF 50+ WetForce cream and find myself reaching for it often as an everyday light-medium coverage choice. It comes in 3 shades, A small amount goes a long way. It applies beautifully and evenly with sponge or brush and has a lovely finish, dries down quickly, doesn't settle at all in my pores and wrinkles, it wears well all day. I would love to see your opinion on this sometime.
I love the L'Oreal Magic BB cream...thank you....what a money saver....its much better than any of the others I have tried and less expensive. It is a little orange but if you use light and blend it lasts all day.
Thanks Angie for your as always on the point presentation and summary. That‘ll save me so much time, money and bad experiences over days!! Go on rocking with your fab and precise videos full with helpful information!
the BEST and MOST comprehensive review!!!! Thank you for being transparent!
Have you tried the Bare Minerals tinted moisturizer with spf 30? It's gel based and light coverage. I like it for lighter makeup days. Also there's another Tarte one with spf 30. It has good coverage but too matte for me
Jennifer Smith yyeeesssss!!! The Tarte one is the BOMB! It was my foundation for a long time. Dries down really silky. BB Tinted Treatment Primer. Mineral/physical sunscreen.
The bare minerals gel cream is AMAZING!!!
Laurie LFH it does give some coverage but for me it just evens my skin tone and hides some redness. It will not cover acne or any major skin imperfections. Hope this helps!
FINALLY an honest review. plus actually showing the actual texture of your skin too more beauty youtubers need to do that ❤
I use the Gardenra BB for a few years and I loved it. LoL. I used Cover Girl tarslusant power over it. I was shocked it was your worst pick.
Sorry about my spelling. I had a stroke last year and effect my spelling... 😇
I Love that you tell it how it really is! I've wasted SO much money and this really helps!
Exactly the advice I needed. I have all the same skin problems and still break out with the wrong things! Thank you!!
Someone may have mentioned this in the comments but I LOVE Dr. Jart’s BB cream. I know there are only two shades, but like the L’oreal it ends up matching my skin perfectly. SPF 45, all zinc & titanium and I now use it year round. Finger application, easy peasy! Thank you so much for your reviews, love them, love you!!!! 🙋🏼♀️💖
Angie , thank you so much for your in-depth , up close detailed reviews!!! 🌸💕🌷💕🌸 you’ve just saved me some 💰 ..your skin looks gorgeous with light coverage products 👌🏼
Your videos are so informative and well made - really appreciate how you know your ingredients and provide great visuals re oxidation, settling and product texture...not to mention a stunning, articulate woman! Now a committed subscriber!
Wanted to say thanks so much for recommending the Australian gold sunscreen in a previous video. I took it to the beach last week and love it!!
PrayerLights yes, I started to wear that sunscreen and it’s a game changer for me. Looks so good on its own and under makeup. It wears well, I have a combo skin and it does start to get a bit shinny by the end of the day but nothing a little powder can’t correct. Have a great day..🤗
I also picked it up from her recommendation. I haven't tried it yet. But I love that people are saying it's so great. I used a 20% off at ulta too so it was even cheaper! Lol. The hydro boost spf I've been using is okay but doesn't do anything for my skin other than moisturize. It's just okay in my opinion so I'm hoping the AG will be awesome. Beach next week & couldn't be more excited. Although I should probably test it out before we leave. Lol
Bernadine Royal I’ve been combing it with the urbane decay all nighter waterproof setting powder when it gets a little shiny. 😀
Feels good, wears well but too drying for me, sadly. :(
Ditto! It's my new favorite too!
The IT CC cream is def the best! Been using it for years and nothing compares!
The it cosmetics has eucalyptus and citrus which is awful for sensitive skin. I tried it a couple summers ago and ended up with basically a bad chemical burn that took months to heal and fade. Citrus oils can also be photo toxic so I avoid them when I can. The Australian Gold sunblock has eucalyptus also so sensitive skinned people should avoid.
Melinda Zikursh that explains why my face burns after using the IT Cosmetics CC cream. I have super sensitive skin and it leaves my face so red.
What do YOU recommend. Melinda? What's your 'holy grail'?
Bobby Caldwell I’ve used physicians formula cc cream (the Shea separates and makes it a bit gritty but it eventually melts as its blended) but for lighter coverage I use bare minerals complexion rescue. My favorite fuller coverage was Rimel 25 hour( red cap) but they changed the formula. I use Boots No 7 lift and luminate and it’s a nice light coverage formulation too.
Well, eucalyptus allergies run in my family so i guess I’ll avoid both of those, then.
Thanks for adding this!
I use origins tinted moisturizer, I’m in love with the glow it gives my skin.... and it looks so nice even at the end of the day.
Like, like like! All the videos I found on this were older, especially for older women. I am 44 and just started using BB cream and like it very much, but I wanted a recent review of some of them. So cool!
Thank you, u have the best reviews on products, & u r doing an amazing job.
Ty for showing the reality of these products, So many don't. N also showing it applied w brush vs hand. It makes a difference on my skin.
Your skin is flawless even without all these cremes. Thank you for such an informative review :)
I'm so glad I found your channel. You showed me that my enlarged pores and texture are not the WORST THING ever! You look lovely and this review is really helpful as I am off to Tucson for a quick summer (!) visit to my brother and need to try a new and better tinted moisturizer!
Could you do the same for tinted sunscreens? Testing the La Roche Posay tinted Anthelios mineral SPF 50?
Carolina Egro I’d like to add EltaMD tinted sunscreen (both versions) to that list!
Heather Elzinga yes I really would love to see that too!
Best video I have seen for bb’s etc for over 40. You are beautiful and great about showing how makeup can just not be the one! Loved.
Man, how I wish the IT CC cream worked. It's HORRIFYING on me. LOL . Makes every pore, every wrinkle, stand way out. So so awful. My skin looks far better with no makeup than with that. Anyone else that can't use the IT CC? Makes me so sad. I have applied it with fingers, brushes, sponges, nothing made it look acceptable. I keep returning to my Bare Escentuals Original mineral foundation -- the "swirl, tap, buff" one. That makes my skin look amazing, covers redness and melts into the skin. (My skin is normal, a little dry in winter. Maybe the IT CC is
better for oily skins?)
Nope, you are not alone. I can't stand that stuff. Looks horrible on me and has a grayish cast to it. I have been using the Sheishedo Sport 50+ and like that much better.
It’s to heavy/thick for me also and it makes my t-zone shine even more! I threw mine away,I guess I should have used a setting powder but that kinda defeated the whole purpose of not wanting to use too much makeup. 😑
I totally agree! I kept trying it over and over and nope looks horrible!
Woman of a Certain Age same here! Also the color look grey on me. My favorite one is the NARS radiant tinted moisturizing. It really covers like a foundation but it is light as a moisturizer. I really love it
I can’t use it neither. Besides for IT’s Bye Bye Pores PRESSED powder, I’m not a big fan of any of their products.
Erborian is number 1 for me, both for BB and CC creams. They have amazing formula and natural finish.
You've inspired me to try makeup again. Thanks to your videos, I've found some amazing products and am excited to add makeup to my daily routine.
I'm sooo glad I found this video! I love IT Cosmetics CC cream too! My mom keeps saying my skin is so good that I don't need expensive foundation, but this proves that there is a difference from product to product! I'm on auto delivery via QVC.
You should try lily lolo bb cream,suntegrity cc cream,pacifica bb cc cream,100% pure bb cream,erborian cc cream...try these..❤ you
I want to add, Marie Veronique tinted sunscreen vs. Suntegrity CC cream vs. 100% pure BB cream
Thanks for the info. It was refreshing to find someone who is older too. I am 65. Thank you again for this info.
The it cosmetics cc cream is finally available in Germany 🙌🏼 and my order arrived today. I will try it tonight and I‘m having such high hopes for it 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼. Thank you for the review and the suggestions for application, perfect timing 💓.
jaymicris where can I buy it in Germany? Thank you!
Genia Douglas online shop, they even put in a free it cosmetics mascara sample. ☺️
It is the best CC cream for the summer!! I hope you enjoy😘
Wow! How cool is that! Thank you 😊
How did you work out which colour to order though??
Angie you have the best product reviews on RUclips!
I have to find a BB or CC cream that I like, I use Chanel CC but it breaks up in my t-zone fairly quickly even when I use a setting powder. I must say, I never tried L’Oréal BB cream, I’ll give it a try.
It Cosmetics CC cream is worse than Chanel CC for me.
Try Perbelle Tinted Cc Cream, and do a review. I think it’s excellent! Your reviews are great!
Great review, like always. Thanks 🙃
Maribelisa Menendez try Dr Dray’s channel for sunscreen & skin info. She’s a dermatologist. :)
I have actually found the "CLINIQUE Pep-Start Daily UV Protector Broad Spectrum SPF 50" to be a nice choice for low-maintenance makeup days! It's a physical sunscreen, not a whole lot of tint, but it has a nice finish, not sticky, and covers *just* enough to make a difference. I can't stand that sticky feeling so for me, this has been amazing!
I'm 49 years old with very typical combo skin. :)
Also, I LOVE the IT cosmetics CC cream too!
I want to love the It Cosmetics CC Cream, but the Light is a shade too dark and too yellow, the fair is too light for me. Frustrating!
Marissa Baker same for me! I can make the fair share work for me in the winter but its too light in the summer and the light shade is way too yellow. They definitely need a better shade range!
Marissa Baker totally agree plus it's a little on the thick side. Waste of money...
What about fair light? It’s not too light for me and it’s not yellow!
Lol, I ended up buying the wrong shade for my replacement and realized to blend the two together was my perfect shade.
Thank you for your wonderful reviews and for
Sharing your skin care regiment so openly. Yesterday I purchased the L’Oréal magic and today two students told me I was beautiful! It’s the end of the day and my face still looks fresh.
Hey Angie!! It cc is my fav too! But I tried Alastin hydratint mineral from my med spa and like it too! Taking both with me for Italy. Have a great weekend! Thank you❤️Boston fan❤️
@HotandFlashy - we have similar skin texture. I am a long time IT CC cream user and found this SUPER helpful. It sounds like I've got the best out there. Thanks for putting in the work! Love your channel
I heard IT Cosmetics is coming out with a Matte CC cream. I sure hope that's true, because I'm too oily for the current CC, but I love the way it makes my skin look. Thank you for this great review, Angie! I had never heard of the Loreal BB cream, but I do live under a rock. :)
OMG, a matte IT CC cream would be awesome!!
HotandFlashy yep, trendmood just confirmed it! It will release sometime in July and it’s a Sephora exclusive
I am so happy I found your channel! You are beautiful! I am 39 but genetics aren't on my side! We have very similar issues big pores fine lines drooping eye lids. I stopped wearing makeup all together the last couple of years and stuck to just sunscreen and a little blush to disguise redness in order to avoid aging myself. But a lot of your recommendations have let me wear some new things without drawing a spot light to my genetic aging. The Australian Gold sunscreen has been amazing! Thank You Thank You! Can't wait to see more!
Great review! I have your 2 favorites and love them! Enjoyed hearing your thoughts on the others as well, it's very helpful! xoxo
