Vital Skin Foundation Stick - Atelier X.25

The formula melts right into my skin with one swipe and my face looks noticeably smoother by mid-afternoon, not dried out like past sticks. I’ve been using it over my moisturizer for a week and the redness on my cheeks is definitely less angry. My only gripe is the twist-up mechanism feels a little

The formula blends in with two swipes and actually calms my redness by the end of the day, which I didn't expect from a stick. It's rich but never heavy, and my skin feels more hydrated than with my usual liquid foundation.

I’ve got rosy patches on my cheeks that usually need a full-coverage routine, but this stick actually calms the redness down while it evens everything out. The antioxidant-rich formula leaves my skin feeling moisturized instead of cakey, which is a huge win for a cream stick.
