The IT Cosmetics CC+ Nude Glow Foundation Is Our Editors’ Favorite New Foundation for Summer

ICYMI, the latest addition to the IT Cosmetics CC Cream family, the CC+ Nude Glow Foundation SPF 40+, is here. The formula, which contains mostly skincare ingredients like niacinamide, hyaluronic acid and green tea extract, is the brand&rsquo;s take on a lightweight, skincare-meets-makeup skin tint. Four of our editors tried the new foundation, courtesy of the brand. Keep scrolling to find their thoughts. Shade: MediumAs someone with oily skin, I usually shy away from formulas that impart a glowy finish &mdash; I already have enough natural shine as it is. The IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC+ Cream Matte Foundation is my go-to foundation, so I figured I&rsquo;d give the glowy formula a fair shot. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I loved the Nude Glow Foundation. It provided the coverage I like while feeling lightweight on the skin. Plus, the glowy finish didn&rsquo;t make me look oilier than normal. Between the subtle brightening effect, the SPF sun protection and skin tint-like finish, I can honestly say that this foundation will be part of my makeup routine all spring and summer long. &mdash; Caitlyn, Assistant EditorShade: Medium TanGlowy foundation isn&rsquo;t usually my first choice &mdash; particularly because my combination skin tends to get oily throughout the day. The thing about this product that I loved is that it was actually able to illuminate my complexion without making it look extra shiny. It&rsquo;s formulated with niacinamide, hyaluronic acid and green tea extract to help nourish and brighten the skin, but doesn&rsquo;t allow for excess oil to build up. I also love that it has SPF 40 to keep me protected from the sun, all while providing the buildable coverage I yearn for. &mdash; Alanna, Assistant Managing EditorShade: Light I usually don&rsquo;t like to wear foundation because, no matter how lightweight a product claims to be, I can feel it sitting on my face by midday. This is the first foundation I&rsquo;ve tried in a long time where that hasn&rsquo;t happened &mdash; and I attribute it to the skincare-forward formula. Thanks to hyaluronic acid, niacinamide and green tea extract in the formula, my skin not only feels hydrated throughout the day but also looks naturally radiant. I compare it to a golden hour glow in a bottle &mdash; and that's exactly what I want my skin to look like all season long.&mdash; Mary, Associate EditorShade: Neutral RichUsing a glowy foundation can be tricky for me because my oily skin tends to make my face look greasy by the end of the day. I might have to make an exception for this foundation because of how lightweight it was and the fact that it left me with a beautiful glow that looked like it was coming from within. With the unpredictable spring weather we&rsquo;ve been experiencing, I&rsquo;ve found that my skin has been a bit dry in certain areas. But thanks to the hyaluronic acid, my skin gets a boost of hydration without feeling greasy, making this a big plus for me at the moment. &mdash; Kat, Social Media Editor
