I’m 56 years old and suffer with dark circles underneath my eyes. Over the years I’ve used a lot of different concealers trying to cover it up and even out my skin-tone. However, the majority of those concealers just made things look worse! I’ve tried liquid, sticks and powders and nothing really helped until now.

A friend of mine recommended that I try IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC+ Cream Illumination – Color Correcting Cream, Full-Coverage Foundation. This CC+ cream does a lot! You can use it as a concealer, as a full-coverage foundation, as a “spot” cover-up, as your facial SPF sunscreen and more! It’s a foundation, moisturizer, concealer, serum and more! That’s why they call it CC+ cream because it’s a multi-tasker that does many different things.
IT Cosmetics partners with plastic surgeons and dermatologists to develop skin-loving solutions and clinically tested formulas. This product is paraben free. Like all cosmetics, don’t use on broken or damaged skin.
To use as a full coverage foundation you apply 1-2 pumps onto your brush. Then apply all-over your face. If you’re using it just as a concealer…one pump will do.
I’ve been using the IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC+ Cream Illumination – Color Correcting Cream, Full-Coverage Foundation for the past 6 weeks and absolutely LOVE IT!!! I use the “medium” shade for my skin-tone. I use 1-pump on my IT Cosmetics brush if I’m using it just as an undereye concealer and 2-pumps if I’m applying it all over my face. A little bit goes a long way.
This CC+ cream covers up my undereye circles, minimizes the looks of my pores, covers up redness around my nose and evens out my entire skin-tone. Plus…it gives me SPF 50+ sunscreen protecting my skin from the harmful effects of the sun. I get all day coverage…I put it on in the morning and wash it off at night before bedtime. Soap and water or your favorite cleanser easily removes it. There’s no scrubbing or tugging to get it off!
Finally, my skin looks like my skin! It doesn’t “cake up” and I don’t look like I’m wearing a slew of makeup. I feel it looks more natural. The more I’ve used it…the better my skin looks and feels. A win-win for sure! Check out that shade chart in my post…they make a shade that will work for everyone. Like I said, I’m using the “medium” right now because I have some “tan” to my skin.
You can buy IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC+ Illumination Color Correcting Cream, Full-Coverage Foundation at various online and offline retailers across the nation. I personally buy it from Amazon and have it shipped straight to my front door.
You can apply it using your fingers, a sponge, or a brush. I personally invested in the IT Cosmetics Heavenly Complexion Perfection Brush and use that to apply it. It’s a double-ended brush, so I use the smaller end to apply it underneath my eyes and around my nose. I use the larger end to apply it all over my face. This brush helps to give you that flawless finish that you’re looking for. I highly recommend that brush too!
