I'm a fan of the original It Cosmetics CC in the silver tube and I rely on it especially when my skin is very dry, as it's one of those formulas that can handle rough-to-the-touch, dried-out skin and it doesn't emphasize flakes or dry texture. However, they so far haven't made a shade in that original formula range that would be light enough for me. They gave me hope when they expanded the range, but the Fair Ivory turned out to be very similar to their shade Fair. CC Nude Glow is a formula which promises to brighten the skin, as it has niacinamide, so like the original CC it's makeup with skin care and SPF. This line has a shade that is very light and suits me, so it quickly became my most used formula, though if you love the original CC, this formula is different and you might miss more coverage.

Formula: This formula has few similarities with the original CC. The latter feels like a CC or BB cream, so a thicker creamy formula, similar to moisturisers and it has a lot of coverage. Nude Glow is a lighter formulation and it behaves like a classic liquid foundation. It's easy to apply with any method, though I prefer one of those cushion foundation sponges. It's quite a hydrating formula and it's one of those foundations that doesn't set for quite a while. That suits me, as my skin is dry and most foundations quickly set matte and flat on me, while I want the feeling of a moisturiser and a more fresh-looking finish. I prefer not to powder in except around the eyes because of glasses, but most may want set it in some way, as it can wipe off easily as it's slowly setting.
