Full-Coverage Flashy: New It Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC+ Airbrush Perfecting Powder Illumination With SPF 50+

Cute pink packaging! The new $35 It Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC+ Airbrush Perfecting Powder Illumination with SPF 50+.

Whenever the word “illuminating” gets up in the mix when you’re talking about face powders, things can get a little dicey, because, on the one hand, like, when you’re — *ahem* — a lady of a certain age, I think a little dewiness on the face looks great, especially if you’re wearing face powder, which is why MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural has been my partner in crime for the past few years.

I like a little light-reflecting oomph on my 40-plus skin (as opposed to a flat matte), but I reeeeeeally don’t want to cross the line between dewy and straight-up sweaty, because then it’s “Whoa, Karen! Why are you so freakin’ sweaty? Did you just get kicked out of the Stars Hollow 24-hour dance marathon? Or did you just finish a hot yoga class with Viggo Mortensen?”

Side note: I wish these were plausible scenarios!

So pretty…

Anyway, the unintentionally sweaty face thing is kinda happening to me when I use this new $35 illuminating pressed powder in the It Cosmetics permanent line. It’s called Your Skin But Better CC+ Airbrush Perfecting Powder Illumination with SPF 50+ (wow, that’s a mouthful). There are seven shades, and I wear the one called Tan.

Swatches from the top: Fair, Light, Medium, Medium Tan, Tan, Rich and Deep

They’re loaded with pigment. These will build up to full-coverage if you want it. I could completely even out my skin tone and hide my freckles using nothing but this powder. You could skip foundation and concealer.

Yeah, this powder totally brings it (oh, it’s already been broughten), and — added perk — it doesn’t look or feel heavy.

Wearing it in Tan as a setting powder on top of the new It Cosmetics Bye Bye Lines Foundation (I mix two shades of it — Tan and Rich.)

I like the way this powder looks in pics, where it’s only mildly dewy, but it’s — WHOA — waaaaaay too shiny for me in real life.

My pores…? You could do Olympic diving into them. I look straight-up sweaty.

Basically, I would proceed with caution with this face powder. The new It Cosmetics Bye Bye Lines Foundation, though? Totally different story. Go cray with it, because it’s SO GOOD!

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

P.S. TGIF!!!! ???

    TGIF! Oh, I’m not even considering something that makes pores look like Olympic diving pools. HAHA!

    That’s not too bad in photos, I’d have to see how crazy it is IRL.

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
