When it comes to my foundation, I'm pretty loyal. I have three that I own and use regularly: Cover FX Total Coverage Cream Foundation (Sephora, $42), Make Up For Ever HD Foundation (Sephora, $40), and Boots No. 7 Intelligent Balance Mousse Foundation (Target, $13.99). But after seeing Sarah Lucero work her magic with Stila's Perfect and Correct Foundation (Sephora, $44), I decided to give it a shot.
When I put it on my face, it was strange; the texture is almost like a whipped liquid. That's the best way I can describe it. It's medium coverage when you put it on, but I was able to build to a nearly full-coverage finish.
I was blown away by the glow it imparted on my face. Those with overly oily skin won't be big fans of this; it does leave a dewy look.
I paired it with the Stila Convertible Lip and Cheek Color in Lillium (Sephora, $25) and dusted a thin layer of Bare Minerals Mineral Veil (Sephora, $20) over the top. It lasted all day long, even after being under some hot lights.
Pros:
Buildable: medium to full coverage
Glow, glow, glow
Moisturizing
Lightweight
Cons:
Too much shine for oily skin types
Pricey (compared to other medium-coverage liquids... Cargo gives you 40 ml for $34, and Too Faced gives you 30 ml for $36).
Limited amount of shades (eight)
Overall, I was very impressed. Would I switch from my beloved trio? Probably not, but I might add it into the mix.
