I want to thank IT Cosmetics for sending me these products. They were perfect for my holiday look below and really any look day or night.
I love how IT cosmetics gives a natural warmth and Glam without making me look plastic and fake. This is by far my favorite picture from December.
Products I Used
We all know the secret to a great look is making sure your skin is ready for make-up. I always use a gentle cleanser first and pat dry. Do not rub, be gentle with the patting, you do not want to start with irritated skin.
After the skin is dry I applied IT Cosmetics Confidence in a Cream. It nurtures the skin and keeps it smooth and healthy. IT Cosmetics formulated Confidence in a Cream for just this purpose. First and foremost it is quick absorbing. I have seen it... some people using hair dryers to help dry the base moisturizers faster before makeup, not good.
Confidence in a Cream is an amazing Anti-Aging Armour Rejuvenating Concentrate and works miracles. Hyaluronic acid and collagen immediately plump up the skin reducing fine lines and wrinkles, while Niacin brings in more nutrients from the skin's own blood supply and nourishes our skin. If that is not enough they added a ceramide complex (ceramides form the moisture barrier of our skin) which locks in moisture. End result my skin had a firm smooth texture and was hydrated. As soon as Confidence in a Cream was absorbed my skin looked fresh, smooth, and ready for makeup.
IT Cosmetics has perfected the CC (Color Correcting) Cream. My skin is very fair which means it is prone to some redness when I go from cold to hot temps, a particular problem in the winter. IT Cosmetics has made this a thing of the past. The CC Cream is a full coverage tint and easily camouflaged the red and my skin looked flawless. I know most of us have found a great foundation with good coverage only to discover in a short amount of time, after a few smiles and laughs, the foundation has cracked and created lines (never good for a selfie). IT Cosmetics CC Cream is specifically formulated to prevent creases, and it works!
Broad spectrum SPF 50 blocks both UVA and UVB rays to prevent damage while infusing the skin with natural anti-oxidants and hydration protects and nourishes skin.
So this is my favorite trick. Nothing makes someone look as tired or adds age to your face like dry skin, dark circles, or bags under the eyes.
IT Cosmetics formulated Bye Bye Under Eye to fix this situation. So whether you didn't get your full 8 hours of beauty sleep or you just over coffee'd and hit the treadmill too hard without drinking enough water (lack of sleep or dehydration always shows up under the eyes) Bye Bye Under Eye is for you.
Infused with pigments, vitamins, collagen, and proteins Bye Bye Under Eye corrects dark circles, removes that crepe wrinkle, and lessens the appearance of bags. Finally a full coverage concealer that works and nourishes the skin. A favorite feature is it is waterproof and will not crack. It also doesn't settle into fine lines. Look fully rested and ready for fun with Bye Bye Under Eye.
So once my skin has been cleaned and prepped with Confidence in a Cream, CC Cream and Bye Bye Under Eye I am ready for some powder.
Bye Bye Pores pressed powder gives a stunning airbrushed effect without giving you that caked powder look. Bye Bye Pores completely blurs and blends away pores and imperfections. I love this... silk is actually in the product and yes it left my skin looking silky smooth. Bye Bye Pores light and translucent color allowed my own natural skin tone to come through and just smooth things out. Best of all I could laugh and smile all night and never did the powder clump together and get stuck in a laugh line. All of us have been shocked at sometime by a high def pic revealing powder stuck in a crease from laughing, that will just be a bad memory of a deleted photo once Bye Bye Pores is used.
Ask any beauty professional and they will tell you one of the secrets to a glamorous look is eyebrows. Often overlooked, well groomed and properly shaped eyebrows provide the frame for our eyes. This draws attention and highlights the eyes.
IT Cosmetics Brow Power Universal Eyebrow Pencil is the secret weapon in my beauty arsenal. First off it is genius, a dual sided beauty tool. One side features a soft yet sturdy grooming spooley brush, the other features an oval tip pencil. First use the oval tip pencil to apply the smear proof powder to your eyebrows. Here is the trick, press a little firmer and more powder is applied go light for less powder, don't worry you can apply more as needed. Once the right amount of powder is applied use the grooming spooley, brush the powder and just watch as the powder adheres to your natural hair creating the perfect fullness and shape. Go light with the spooley for lighter hair tones and go harder for darker tones. If you have ever had trouble with a home brow wax kit this is your must have correcting tool.This is by far my favorite eyebrow pencil ever!
I achieved the perfect flirtatious flutter with a little help from IT Cosmetics Superhero Mascara. Everyone knows mascara should add length and volume not stick and clump. If you have ever pulled clumps of mascara off the end of your lashes while driving you know it is no fun. IT Cosmetics formulated a mascara that actually coats your own natural lashes. Then as you brush them forward the Mascara stretches. So now the individual lashes are coated giving volume and stretched giving length. Perfect for butterfly kisses. Favorite ingredient Biotin, keeps my lashes healthy and strong.
