Today we will talk about Innovative Technology Cosmetics or popularly known as It Cosmetics. The beauty community is talking about their products and how effective they were especially if you have problematic skin. Did they just say problematic skin? Oh, they got my full attention right there! So I searched reviews and demo videos of their products and after watching them, I already want to try them out.

If there are makeup products that you will not see in my vanity, that will be the BB and CC Creams. I told you a lot of times that I don’t have great skin; I tried them before and I did not like it. Aside from very minimal coverage, my face became the definition of “OIL SLICK FACE”, so no.

Of course, I wanted to try these type of products because I don’t always do a full makeup look. There are days when I just want to look good but with less effort. So I picked three items, (originally 4, but their famous Bye Bye Under Eye Concealer was not available that time) and tested them out. Now because the brand is not available here, I searched and found out that their products are sold in Beautylish.com and they deliver to Singapore. (Yey for that!) And now, let’s discuss them one by one
1. Bye Bye Redness Neutralizing Correcting Cream
This cream is packaged in a small glass jar and when you open the lid, you find the product that is similar to a foundation consistency. It reminds me of the Kevyn Aucoin Sensual Skin Enhancer and they both packaged in a jar but I believe the Kevyn Aucoin is more concentrated.
This cream is used to neutralize not just the redness of the skin but also addresses other concerns like scars, age spots and blemished skin to name a few. So in short, the content of this small jar can replace your colour correcting creams.
Bye Bye Redness cream can be worn alone or under makeup. I opt for the second choice and it works as a beautiful base for my La Prairie Skin Caviar Concealer Foundation. I combined these two and hello, perfect skin!
This product comes in one universal shade.
Price:
- Bye Bye Redness Neutralizing Correcting Cream is sold at 32 USD and you get 11 ml worth of product.
PROs:
- The product is true to its promise and I really love that it functions not only as a correcting cream but also like that of a concealer.
- When I used the product, I did not use much concealer unlike before.
- A little goes a long way.
- You do not need so much; a few tiny dots and it can already cover the entire face.
- Light on the face.
- Though I used it as a base for my foundation, I did not feel that I was wearing too much makeup on my face.
- Also, it did not change the consistency/formula of my foundation.
- Scent-free
- Made in the USA.
CONs:
AVAILABILITY
- The brand is not available locally (SG) and at this time they company only ships to the US and US territories, but as mentioned they are sold in Beautylish.com and you get free shipping when you order a minimum of 75 USD.
Lastly,
PACKAGING
- Though the jar is cute, I prefer to have it in a tube with a pump because it can be unsanitary to dip your fingers into the product.
- They do not provide any small spatula either
So as a solution, I use a small spatula from my old skincare stuff and use it to get the product.
2. It Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC+ Full Coverage Cream
Now this product can function as:
- Foundation
- but you have to take note that this may not last the whole day and may require touch ups especially if you are in a hot or humid environment.
- This is the product that you may want to use when you are on a beach or in summer.
- Base of your makeup
I got the shade Light.
Price:
- It Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC+ Full Coverage Cream is priced at 38 USD and you get 32 ml worth of product.
PROs:
- Good coverage for a CC Cream
- It’s 7 steps in one product:
- a moisturising day cream
- anti-aging serum
- pore minimizing primer
- skin brightener
- dark spot corrector, and
- full coverage foundation and sun protection.
- A little goes a long way.
- One to two pumps can cover your whole face.
- Light on the face.
- Has a clean and fresh smell
- Love the packaging.
- It comes in a tube with a pump.
- Contains SPF 50
- Paraben-free
- Made in the USA.
CONs:
-
LIMITED SHADES
- At this time, they only have 5 shades available and I read comments that the shades may not be compatible for some people. For some, it can be too light that maybe they have to mix 2 shades to achieve the desired colour.
-
AVAILABILITY
- The brand is not available locally (SG) and at this time they company only ships to the US and US territories, but as mentioned they are sold in Beautylish.com and you get free shipping when you order a minimum of 75 USD.
3. It Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC+ Airbrush Perfecting Powder
My last compact foundation was the MAC Studio Fix Plus and I gave that away because it clogged my pores. Since then I moved away powder foundations and preferred liquid type instead. At the moment I only use 2 translucent powders:
- Laura Mercier Loose Translucent Powder and
- Shu Uemura’s Dual Fit Pressed Powder
Since I am getting the CC Full Coverage Cream, I also got this for my finishing powder.
The powder is finely-milled and it blends well when applied using a powder brush.
Price:
- It Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC+ Airbrush Perfecting Powder is priced at 35 USD and you get 9.5 grams worth of product.
PROs:
- finely-milled powder that blends well
- can be used over makeup or on clean, bare skin.
- Lightweight
- Sheer to (buildable) full coverage without looking cakey.
- Talc-free
- Contains SPF 50
- Paraben-free
- Made in the USA.
CONs:

When I tested these products, I made sure that I used them together and this may sound funny but after I applied everything, I looked at the mirror and I literally said “WHOA!” (in a good way). I was impressed on how these 3 products made my skin look flawless. Although they may not be very long lasting when worn alone, but they work well with other makeup products. Like I said, I used the Bye Bye Redness with my La Prairie foundation and my skin looked great. I think it will be a permanent product in my vanity.
Here is a before and after shot when I tested the products and apologies for the unforgiving eye bags.
As you can see in the “AFTER” photo, the foundation faded on the area where my glasses hits the nose. I did not retouch my face when I took this.

FINAL VERDICT
I think that these are great and I am satisfied with the performance of their products. I will definitely use them often, especially when going out for a coffee date or weekend brunch. Among the three, my favourite is the Bye Bye Redness and I have been using it nonstop.😉
And there goes my It Cosmetics Haul and review. Until our next time!
