Our Opinion: IT Cosmetics CC+ Oil-Free Matte Foundation For Combination Skin
Since my skin is extremely dry, this is not the right foundation for me, although I love the idea! To give you our unbiased opinion, we distributed the IT CC+ Oil-Free Matte foundation to four friends (aka dignified guinea pigs) with combination skin to test for a couple of weeks. These were their impressions:
T: I very much appreciated that they had shades to cater to my darker complexion without leaving a chalky trace behind. The texture felt comfortable.
D: I hate to travel with a bulky beauty bag and I wasn’t planning to go to the beach, so I took the foundation and four other essentials for my romantic weekend away from home and I loved the texture and how matte my skin looked, even though it was still hot. PS- Summer Be Gone!
A: My skin is on the greasy side and I liked how well the foundation stayed put. Bonus points for keeping a matte finish after a harrowing day at work.
K: I quite liked the product. It didn’t look weird on my first wrinkles and it took care of my T-Zone quite nicely. Also, sensitive skin didn’t react to the formula. Well done!
Although this formula is obviously better suited to oily and acne-prone skin, I decided to give it a go on my dry skin to share my experience. I was very pleasantly surprised to see that it did go on smoothly, but after a couple of hours I started noticing how the foundation seemed to stay on my creases and felt a bit strange on my dry patches. I gave it another try using a good moisturizing oil underneath and it was more comfortable, but I personally wouldn’t recommend it for my dry skin peeps.
