SHADES.(e.l.f.):
29 shades
SHADES.(IT Cosmetics):
11 shades - they have bought out a few new shades since I first started using in which I use a new shade
Every time I do a first impression or review of a foundation I get a brand new Real Techniques Miracle Complexion sponge that I went.
Bare faced just skincare, not makeup.
I am using my Benefit POREfessional primer all over the face.
I am going to use e.l.f. on my right side of the face (left in the picture) and IT Cosmetics on my left side of the face (right in the picture).
e.l.f.: Foundation applied and it looks okay.
IT Cosmetics: Foundation applied and I feel like this applied the nicest but I have a little area under the eye that needs blending a little better.
I applied some contour/bronzer, the product I used was Wander Beauty Trip For Two Bronzer in Trip To Costa Rei.
Makeup all done, yes the shades are clearly different, the e.l.f. is very pale white whereas the IT Cosmetics is more golden pale shade.
6:30pm: The side with e.l.f. is a lot more dry and creases whereas the IT Cosmetics looks a lot better.
8pm: The e.l.f. foundation moves quite a bit unlike the IT Cosmetics foundation.

I so prefer the IT Cosmetics foundation, it makes my skin look a lot better, it doesn't cling to the dry patches, fine lines and creases. I definitely don't think these two are dupes.
Is it a dupe: No
