Vital Skin Foundation Stick - Atelier XIV

The redness around my nose has calmed down noticeably since I started using this, and it layers beautifully without ever feeling cakey. It’s the first stick foundation that actually hydrates my dry patches instead of clinging to them.

I’ve been swiping this on after moisturizer and blending with my fingers, and the way it evens out my skin without feeling heavy is exactly what I needed for busy mornings. The antioxidants are a nice bonus, and it actually seems to calm the redness around my nose by the end of the day.

Swiping it on takes ten seconds and the coverage still looks like skin, not a mask. It’s been four hours and my cheeks feel moisturized, not tight, which is a first for any foundation I’ve tried.
