Your Skin But Better CC+ Airbrush Perfecting Powder SPF 50+

I don't ever wear powder normally. I had thought of it as something that looks cakey and unnatural, and would only see the point if you suffer from a perennially shiny face (which I don't, only if I get carried away with using face products), and that with advancing years will get into all your little nooks and crannies and accentuate every line and flaw - not what we're hoping to achieve at all!

But I loved the sound of this It Cosmetics CC airbrush powder, as well as some of the other It products, and purchased the CC cream, the powder and the ombre blush. They all arrived together yesterday (and I must say I'm most impressed with Beautylish's international shipping rates to Australia, the fast delivery and the lovely personal touch with the packaging).

I tried them all on together and thought I looked pretty damn gorgeous actually (which was no mean feat considering I have an awful cold right now and looked like death warmed up previous to applying them!). Today I wanted to use the powder alone, as that had been my original intention as to how I'd use it. I wanted something to quickly pop on after applying my face products, that would give me some sun protection and make my skin look nicer in the way that a foundation does, without going crazy with a full face of make up. I was looking to see what the coverage was like, whether indeed it did give me a cakey "old lady" look, whether it covered up the shine from my products without making my face look dull and lifeless, and whether it got into all the fine lines and wrinkles and looked ghastly.

Firstly, the coverage was great. I had to re-apply it in a couple of areas, just adding to it as I needed to get a good coverage (which was fine as I'd started out with very little on my brush, not knowing how much I'd actually need). It most definitely took away the shine from the face products I'd put on previously, didn't look at all "old lady", gave my face an overall much better look without accentuating any fine lines and wrinkles, and when I returned from walking the dog and looked again, it seemed I had a lovely soft, dewy look to my complexion. It's a hit with me - I love it! (And I also love the CC cream and the ombre blush. I think I've become an It Cosmetics convert!)

After trying they bye bye pores powder and being totally disappointed with it I decided to try this powder out and I am so glad I did. It's a lovely setting powder and easily creates the perfect finish to your makeup look. Thankfully it's talc free and has a Physical SPF of 50 so it won't irritate your skin and provides strong sun protection. I like to apply it at the very end of my makeup with a large fluffy brush to set my face and soften any edges that I may have from contour or blush products. This is the perfect setting powder to use when I mix the Cover FX Custom Cover Drops with the IT no 50 primer serum. Every time I use those 3 products together I get compliments on my skin and people asking me if I've just had a facial or what I am doing to my skin to get it so smooth and healthy looking. This is a great product and one I will always want to have on hand!

A little goes a long way with this CC+ powder. Being perfectly pigmented, it is long lasting and it's sure to rock your socks off. Super smooth, and lays with an airbrush finish. The marketing doesn't lie!

This is my first CC+ powder and I love how the my skin looks when I used this. I stayed away from powder foundations for years because they clog my pores. I only used the translucent ones and then I tried this. Great in blurring imperfections and this works great with teh Bye Bye Redness and CC+ Full Coverage Cream. Love them!!

Attached is the photo when I used with no primers whatsoever.

I enjoyed using this powder under my eyes, it didn't look dry, provided good coverage and has SPF.

On my face it was very obvious I was wearing makeup and exaggerated pores.

I am no longer using this product as even thought it is not listed on the ingredients on Beautylish it contains BHT, which I refuse to wear. I am very upset I was sold this tbh and that the full ingredient list was not disclosed on the website.

I have yet to use this product on it's own. I am currently using it on top of my Your skin but better CC+ cream and it works wonders with it. It leaves my skin looking just the shade I want. I have had the constant issue of my make up always looking cakey no matter how I go about things and for me this trick just works.

I'm not sure if I just got a dud or something, but I tried using this and found it so unbelievably chalky and drying on my skin. Just the worst. It accentuated every flaw in my skin, and in areas where my skin was a bit dry it really made it so much worse. I was very excited to receive this product, only to be very disappointed. If you have ANY dryness in your skin at all, I would steer clear of this product.

It comes in this lovely iridescent compact, it's really elegant. The powder is so fine and really builds le. I was surprised to see PETAs bunny on it too. There's honestly nothing I dislike about this product. My colleagues saw it and are buying some already. It sells itself. If you're on the fence and reading the reviews buy it now, you won't regret it.

My usual power is Almost Powder by Clinique and this stuff measures up well. Smooth to touch, my skin is never oily and I like how the sponge fits underneath the Powder. Perfect shade for my fair skin and I have about the lightest skin tone you can go before albino. Love that the SPF is so high and the Broad Spectrum sun coverage for summer vacations in the sun. Most definantly recommend this shade for fair women. Also, since I wasn't able to find It cosmetics in Canada, I was really happy to find them on this site with no cost for shipping since I spent a certain amount. My order was here in 2 business days flat :)

This product is wondeful, just not for me. It did not work with my skin and I felt it was too heavy.
