Vital Skin Foundation Stick - Atelier IV

The texture is rich but sinks in fast, and it actually calmed the blotchiness on my cheeks after a few days of use. It’s the first stick foundation that doesn’t dry me out by the afternoon, which is huge for my combo skin.

The redness around my nose has calmed down noticeably after a week of using this, and the stick format makes touch-ups ridiculously easy. It glides on without tugging and my skin feels moisturized all day, even in this dry office air.

Swipe it on in the morning and it blends out so fast that I actually look awake before coffee. The redness around my cheeks is noticeably calmer by lunch, plus my skin stays dewy instead of tight.
