Skin Rewind Complexion Stick - Teint-Stick

Not a foundation

I've been using the Ilia serum foundation for years and love it, but I sometimes need more coverage. I was really excited to try this, but this product is terrible. It's like someone came up with a super dry concealer and decided to try marketing it as foundation. The product is so dry that it will not spread at all on its own. I have to put an oil all over my face first if I want to use it. Even then, my skin feels like I've tried to spread chalk paste on it or something - like it absorbs all the moisture from my skin. A real shame, because the color match is perfect - I usually have to mix two shades of their serum foundation. And I think a like stick of this to cover red spots or acne would be great. But they are marketing it as a foundation and complexion stick that can also be used as a concealer, and that just doesn't ring true.

Goes on easily

I like the way this stick goes on but I am disappointed in how long it stays in place. I have redness due to rosacea and the product does not cover it for very long.

Wanted to love

Product is too dry, I wanted to try a clean beauty product but this is barely spreadable.

Most favorite

I got this randomly on sale from a retailer and figured I would give it a try. Well, this is the best foundation for my 42 year old skin. My skin tone look even and flawless. And my shade is my perfect match and blends perfectly. I only have one wrinkle in my 11s and that has faded. Absolutely love this!

Complexion stick is fantastic

I truly love this product! I had purchased a couple of sticks in colors that were too light for me, so I gave them to my daughter who has lighter skin. Finally, I tried a color that was on the person in the picture that represented my ethnicity pretty closely, and it is perfect. I thought it would be too dark, but it works so well that I don't see it sometimes when I am working it in. It is so smooth, and it doesn't leave my skin feeling cakey or dry, or even too oily. Since I am protecting the areas around my eyes more consistently now with the product, I actually think it has improved my skin!

I want so badly to love this product!

This is a beautiful product and is easily applied but after it sets it settles into the pores on my nose and chin, giving the appearance of tiny dots. I purchased the Skim Milk, in hopes it would improve but unfortunately not. I do love the coverage and texture.

Love it!

I have lupus so I get patches of red on my face sometimes and the complexion stick helps cover that up beautifully!

An exceptional product

I sent in pictures of myself to Ilia to get color-matched, and their suggestion works perfectly for me. The Skin Rewind Complexion Stick is the best match I've used in a long time and applies like a dream -- I usually do two swipes on each cheek, one across the forehead, one across the chin and blend in with my fingers. Afterwards, I'll take a damp makeup sponge and gently pat all over; doing this gives me the amount of coverage I am looking for -- light enough that it doesn't look mask-light, but enough coverage for some of my acne scarring. The finish is a true satin and it wears beautifully throughout the day. The only time it wears less well is if I'm having a fight with my tret, which as you know dries out the skin. In that case, it does catch on my dry patches and pill, but that's not a fault of the product. Just something to be mindful of if you're using tret or a particularly strong retinol.

Dark Circle Eliminator

Love this product! I finally found an under eye concealer that matches my skin tone perfectly!! Applies easily and has great coverage that blends in with my skin tone without exaggerating my fine under eye lines.

Not Great

I received this as a free item with an order. This doesn't work for me at all. Goes on a tiny bit creamy but when spreading it doesn't work. Looks cakey and dry on my skin.I am over 55 but take care of my skin, especially my face (costs me a fortune). I have numerous dark spot due to sun damage but it didn't cover, I even tried reapplying later.

A little too heavy for me.

This applies well for spot coverage or a little extra foundation help, But it is too heavy for me for foundation. The color match suggested was great for spot coverage but a little pale for full foundation.

The absolute best

The shade match is an almost perfect. It literally blends into my skin better than anything else I’ve used. I work in a restaurant 12 hour days and my make up looks immaculate at the end of the night still. No creasing or anything. I definitely want to try and find an even better shade match in this collection. 10/10
