I've missed this space! I've been wanting to update my blog with a few of my latest purchases but couldn't find the time to do so. Today I'm back with another foundation review. I picked up It Cosmetics Your Skin but Better CC cream in Singapore's sephora and it has now been my daily to go foundation. I even skipped my usual sunscreen since this has UVA/UVB protection of 50+.
I have to be really honest that I didn't like this immediately. This CC cream does not have enough coverage and does not last in humid weather. I love the glow on the skin but really, it is not something an oily or combination skin would appreciate.
However, I find that I reach out for this more than my foundation since I tend to feel less guilty as this is a skin-loving product. It is also really hydrating on the skin, and there's no cakiness even after a long day. I like applying it with a dense brush rather than my beauty blender as I find beauty blender soak up most of the product, resulting in even lesser coverage. A brush however gives decent coverage and appears less dewy on the skin.
I find that I need to set this with a powder since it may get slightly tacky. Using Urban Decay All Nighter (my new fav) also helped increase the longevity of this cream. I usually have this on my skin for 10 hours and there's no oxidation observed.
I like that it comes in a travel friendly tube with a pump. I can pop this in my make up pouch easily without fearing that I would break the glass.
The downside is that it has limited shades. I was contemplating between Fair and Light. When swatching, I find that I'm somewhere in between but I settled for Fair nonetheless.
Have you tried It Cosmetics CC cream? Do you like it?
