Definitely No

It could be just my skin type, but within a few hours of application, my face feels like it’s sliding off. Unfortunately, this product doesn’t keep me matte and I can’t say that I have super oily skin... just a little shiny in the t-zone. It feels sticky, heavy and isn’t matte. For me. Hopefully it works better for others, but I was pretty bummed.

Prep your skin before use

The colour shade matches my skin very well. I could probably be medium to neutral medium. The product is very thick and full coverage. I have only applied using my fingers but will try applying using a brush. Feels light on the skin even with the full coverage.

Definitely a matte finish and holds up all day with no oil or shine.

The con: the product clings to every imperfection - every little hair, every little bump or crevice, any dry skin or unevenness.
You should exfoliate and fully moisturize before applying this CC cream and probably use a pore-minimizing primer. Definitely wouldn't use a powder on top as it seems like it would cake all over.

The product does not make my pores look any smaller and seems to maybe accentuate them.

I really like IT Cosmetics because of their skin benefits, ingredients and SPF but this CC cream is not replacing my Peter Thomas Roth - skin to die for CC cream. I might try the SPF 50 without the matte but I am not expecting anything much different.

This would be great for someone who's skin texture is perfect with no pores.

Broke me out!

I was hopeful about this product but it broke me out! Texture and coverage was ok. I don't think it is as long lasting as my long wear foundations. I also think that it is too expensive for what it is but if it worked out for me, I would be ok to pay the price.
