They were sold to loreal, and it cosmetics is not being sold in China so they are cruelty free.

Hey Jamie,

I see it has expanded its shade range for fairer completed beauties but has not done the same for us darker skinned enthusiasts.  Can you explain the delay? 

[JamieKernLima]

Hi @Fateema  thanks so much for your questions, we continue to work hard to continue to expand our shade range for our complexion products across all spectrum of the shade range. A few months ago we went from 4 or 5 shades, to now 7 shades in many of our foundations and concealers! Two are lighter than medium and 4 are deeper than medium, and we are VERY focused on expanding them even more. And for the past few years we've been working on something big launching soon this February that has many, many more shades and we are so excited!!!!! And it’s one of our top priorities at IT!!!!! XOXO

Hey Jamie! I adore the CC+ cream - a friend recommended it to me and said it was fabulous! I love that I can wear it and not need a primer, as it fills in all my pores and smoothes out my complexion. I find that about 4 hours in and then again by the end of the day, i’m breaking through and my redness peeks through. Any suggestions on how to make the CC+ cream last longer. I do set mine with a powder and spray? Thanks!

Hi @genuinelya thanks so much, I am so happy that you are loving CC Cream on your skin! Try setting it with IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Pores pressed (or loose) powder. It's silk based (not talc-based like most powders) so it truly gives you complexion perfection. On many days, I also use the IT Cosmetics CC Airbrush Powder on top of my CC Cream. It will give you fuller coverage plus an extra dose of SPF 50! XOXO

Hi Jamie, thanks for chatting with us. I am curious, what is your take on citrus oils in skincare? There are some that believe these oils are phototoxic, but there is a lot of conflicting research out there. Thanks!

Hey! Am I able to get makeup brushes set as a gift, I have 645 points.

[JamieKernLima]

Hi @Sameeni thanks so much!!!! Our brushes are life-changing so I hear you! Right now we don't have a brush set at Sephora that is linked to points, but they're online with us right now too in this chat so they will take note of your request, thanks!!!
