  • At 50, Brooke Burke’s complexion is still as radiant as ever—and now we know one of the products behind her age-defying glow.

  • The TV personality and model swears by It Cosmetics Your Skin But Better Foundation + Skincare for medium coverage and hydration.

  • “Old-school, but I love their foundation,” Burke said this week.


Brooke Burke has maintained the same radiant complexion for decades now. While it doesn’t all come down to makeup—she’s a wellness guru, after all—the TV personality, 50, just revealed her go-to hydrating foundation for flawless, glowing skin.

In a new interview with NewBeauty, Burke, who lives with melasma, got candid about her beauty favorites, including It Cosmetics Your Skin But Better Foundation + Skincare. “I still use IT Cosmetics,” she said. “Old-school, but I love their foundation.”

Although it might not be as flashy as some newer brands, the Your Skin But Better foundation is a staple for a reason: Formulated with hyaluronic acid, aloe, and vitamins E and B5, the product acts as a moisturizer, too, improving your skin’s health behind the scenes.

The foundation is available in 40 shades, from deep to fair, and it provides medium coverage—your skin won’t be invisible, it’ll just look a little more even. And thanks to a touch of shimmer, the product also provides a luminous finish.

Burke isn’t the only fan of the tried-and-true foundation: It “feels weightless, lasts all day, and actually matches my skin tone,” one Ulta reviewer raves. “I have struggled in the past with weird textures. Not any longer!! Everything blends so smoothly. ALSO: no creasing in mouth lines or near my nose.”

“‘Your skin but better’ is no lie,” another writes. “Not full coverage, but it doesn’t need to be, because it makes your skin look so darn good.”

“This product is PERFECT,” reports another reviewer, who calls it a holy grail. “It is light coverage that you can build, and when I take my makeup off after the day ... my skin looks radiant! Amazing for acne-prone skin like mine!”

There you have it: Brooke Burke’s favorite foundation might just be one of the best ones available anywhere. Elsewhere in her NewBeauty interview, the model revealed more of her favorite tips for a healthy body and mind: “I love taking an extra five minutes in the morning. I’m a big believer in sleep—I never compromise that,” she said. “Working out daily has been really great for me for stretch recovery, dopamine, adrenaline, metabolism, and energy.”

“Right now, we can probably all agree that wellness is more important than ever,” she continued, “so I think it’s important to find something that will keep you interested that you can do at home to take better care of yourself.”

Hey, if your foundation also acts as skincare, we’d say it fits that bill—Burke is on to something!
