I use the ILIA Skin Rewind Complexion Stick in shade 9N Tupelo on a daily basis and here are my honest thoughts on it. You can see the before and after photos in the video above where one side of my face has coverage and one side does not.
This foundation stick has become one of my essentials due to how fast and easy it is to use. I prefer a light coverage foundation and this foundation stick does exactly that. It never looks heavy or cakey on my skin.
The application process is so easy. I just swipe the stick on all the areas that need coverage whether it is redness, dark circles, or any other areas to make them even. Then, I just tap the areas with a blender brush and I am done. I take less than a minute to do all of this and that is why it is perfect for my everyday routine.
The coverage is perfect for what I need. It does a great job covering my under eye circles that tend to be a bit dark, and it also evens out the redness on my face. You can clearly see the difference between the covered side and uncovered side. Although the brand markets the product as both a foundation and concealer, I prefer using it all over my face and it works wonderfully for that.
The Specs & What They Mean
ILIA Skin Rewind Complexion Stick is formulated to deliver a natural-matte finish and a wear time of 12 hours. Also provided are skin care benefits from a four-part patented butterfly lavender extract that diminishes the look of fine lines, winged kelp extract that increases luminosity, and a ceramide-peptide complex that firms. The shade 9N Tupelo is suitable for light skin with neutral undertones.
With no parabens, sulfates, talc, silicones, or fragrance, the formula is also non-comedogenic, vegan, and cruelty-free. Those seeking a cleaner option that merges makeup with skincare will find this stick format simple for application and great for adding coverage where it’s needed most.
