I’m an IT Cosmetics User (however I Really Want to Look Like a Glossier Girl)

If you’ve bought make-up or skin treatment from Glossier or IT Cosmetics, you’ve made a declaration concerning the sort of charm customer you are. The charm market is filled with brand names dealing with all sorts of age, skin care requirements, product packaging spending plans, individualities and also choices. It makes feeling the brand names you pick over all others are bound to claim something concerning you.

If you have also a passing rate of interest in charm, possibilities are you’ve become aware of Glossier and also its minimal, all-natural method to charm. (Their adage is “Skin initially, make-up secondly.”) Because its 2014 launch by IntoTheGloss.com creator Emily Weiss, the brand name has actually taken the charm globe by tornado with its reasonably cost effective charm items putting on light-hearted names like “Balm Dotcom” and also “Boy Brow”– all which assure to earn you appear like a discreetly improved variation of on your own.

But have you ever before really felt a little bit overlooked scrolling with Glossier’s hip, cool-girl au natural Instagram?

The leg( IT) option for rosacea, acnes and also soreness.

I (and also I’m thinking a great deal of various other ladies with even more major skin problems compared to the periodic acne) really feel left out from their minimal charm story. Yes, I long for the capability to leave my skin bare, including simply a fresh touch with highlighter or flush, however I would certainly never ever be able attain the result depicted on Glossier designs. I have rosacea. My skin is simply also blotchy– and also camouflaging the soreness that splashes my face makes me really feel much more gorgeous and also certain.

So, in spite of my love of Glossier’s glittery millennial-pink product packaging and also love of primarily everybody on their IG feed, I rely on IT Cosmetics to level my complexion, utilizing their Bye Bye Redness Cream and also Bye Bye Lines Foundation.

IT Cosmetics (the “IT” means Innovative Technology) was started in 2008 by previous information support Jamie Kern Lima when she had a hard time to discover make-up that would certainly take on the severe lights and also HD electronic cameras. IT rapidly fired in appeal on QVC. If Glossier is preferred among dewy-faced 20- somethings and also off-duty designs (consisting of celebs such as Karlie Kloss and also Lucy Hale), IT Cosmetics is precious among make-up musicians and also ladies that are trying to find a remedy to extremely noticeable skin problems such as acne. Their customers typically aren’t trying to find a primarily large structure or a rosewater face haze, as wonderful as those alternatives noise theoretically. No, the ladies that purchase IT Cosmetics desire full-coverage structure and also concealer that will certainly assist them decrease dark under-eye circles or acne or tomato soreness, plus a colored powder to establish it and after that some whipping creams that assure to eliminate soreness and also lines after you remove all that make-up and also falling asleep.

The 2 charm camps and also their social media sites splits.

In the exact same means that individuals make presumptions concerning you based upon whether you’re a c and w follower versus a symphonic music fan, I have a particular image in my head of exactly what a Glossier ultrafan resembles rather than an IT Cosmetics patriot.

To me, these 2 brand names stand for both other sides of the range that charm enthusiasts and also customers appear to be separated right into currently.

For instance: if you’re a Glossier lady, I visualize you’re a little more youthful and also right into refined, natural-looking, uncomplicated (or at the very least relatively uncomplicated) charm. I see blemishes and also pouty, super-shiny lips. You invest a great deal of time attempting and also looking into out the current, trendiest skincare offerings while consuming La Croix. You favor Instagram over Facebook, you’re comfy going makeup-free, and also you’re right into brand names like Reformation, RMS, Catbird and also Diptyque.

If you’re a hardcore IT Cosmetics follower, I would certainly think that you appreciate putting on a complete face of make-up each day and also you like explore vibrant, vivid make-up looks (like dazzling pink flush or siren-red lipstick). You invest a great deal of time enjoying YouTube charm vloggers show contouring, you such as surfing Facebook and also Pinterest with a glass of wine, and also you possibly enjoy tasting charm items at Sephora as opposed to online. You’re dedicated to brand names like Clinique, J. Crew, Proactiv and also Lululemon.

Now, are these over-generalizations that typically aren’t also most likely exact since individuals can not be separated right into 2 distinctive camps? Certainly. Take me. I’m 27 however sometimes utilize beneficial skin care items, I such as surfing both Instagram and alsoPinterest with La Croix in the early morning and also wine at night, my storage room is a mix of J. Crew and also Everlane. I possess Glossier skin treatment and also IT Cosmetics make-up (I would certainly enjoy to swipe on Glossier’s Haloscope highlighter and also go out the door thus lots of customers declare to do, however the truth continues to be that I have rosacea. I utilize their Milky Jelly Cleanser and also could purchase their Glossier You scent, however will not purchase their make-up since I require much more protection).

Where do I suit?

I possess and also utilize even more IT Cosmetics items compared to Glossier items, however if I needed to pick one brand name’s garments to put on before the globe I would certainly intend to put on the Glossier sweatshirt.

I’ll confess, I favor to place myself right into a plainly classified box a lot of the moment.

I such as the great lady, uncomplicated ambiance of Glossier items however I value the pledge of a complete improvement provided by the hardworking items in IT Cosmetics’ schedule. It’s everything about getting right into the advertising pledge that attract you and also your suggestion of that you intend to be. And also obviously, deep down I intend to be a poreless 22- year-old version (not a substantial shock).

Such is the power of Glossier: I could be resentful of not having actually the needed ideal skin for a lot of their items, however I’ll use their scent … while showing off a complete face of IT Cosmetics. Exactly what does that claim concerning me? No, seriously, I’m asking you. Sound me if anybody recognizes.
