I apologize that this turned out a little blurry. Not sure why. |
- lightweight feel
- looks very natural, kind of like bare minerals
- very blendable
- the colors compliment one another
- convenient compact makes using two colors easier
- the cream will crease if you don’t moisturize first
- the contour is not as dramatic as I would like
- takes some practice
Overall: I like it, but I’m not sure if it’s love just yet. It looks almost like I’m not wearing any makeup which is both good and bad. I prefer a little more coverage. I found if I use my Garnier BB Cream first, then highlight and contour with the IIID and set it with NYX Setting Powder, it produces a flawless look that’s long-lasting and has the coverage I like. (Note: In the pictures above I am only wearing the IIID foundation on my skin, nothing else. I wanted to show what it looks like on it’s own.)
If it’s nighttime and I want more drama, I bust out the Bahama Mama Bronzer, another favorite of Cara’s, and add some additional contouring color.
You look gorgeous! I love the way the make-up reflects the light so well. I may have to try this line!

Oh, I wanted to ask, did she approach you about the review or the other way around? I’ve been doing some beauty reviews on my blog, and I would love to review this!
I just bought it and reviewed it :)
I’m so glad you reviewed this! I want to buy it, and seeing other people’s results is super helpful.
Thanks!
Thank you for the pros and cons list! I just ordered mine and j was wondering about the coverage. I use a tinted moisturizer everyday so I was wondering if it had the same natural finish to it.
Thanks. I would say it does. However, I know that Cara had greatly changed her formula and I haven’t tried it since the relaunch, so it may have more coverage now.
