Review of stila Illuminating Liquid Foundation

Customer Ratings:

This is a really nice foundation that is packaged cleverly with a pump so you don't have to stick your fingers in it and possibly contaminate it with bacteria. I bought the lightest shade 10 Watts because I'm ghostly and right now, in the dead of winter, it's probably a shade too dark but it really doesn't matter because it melts into the skin and doesn't look plastered on or fake. It evens out minor redness and doesn't cake up into the fine lines starting around my eyes. In full sunlight my skin looks dewy and fresh BUT you can see the little particles of Mica so if you dislike illuminating powders/foundations/eyeshadow you may want to skip this or try it out at a counter before buying. Also, it's a little on the sheer side and I still need a concealer for dark circles and any blemishes that crop up because I don't like packing and layering foundation. If you have troubled skin this probably will not offer enough coverage for you but it's perfect for a quick, natural look and is my new go-to foundation.

I can not quite put my finger on why but I hated this product. It gives minimal coverage. The color was not right for my skin tone so I took it back to Sephora and exchanged for the next lighter color. That color did not suit me either. I don't think it gave me the glowing, dewy look that I hoped for in a foundation. I recently got a makeover from Laura Mercier and I love their foundation as well as concealer. If you really want to add a glowing look to your skin I would recommend adding Artificial Light by Smashbox Cosmetics to any foundation that you purchase.

I loved the old formula (the product photos above show the old formula bottle with the silver top, while the new formula has a black top) and this listing is for the NEW black topped foundation bottle (fyi). The old formula's consistency was more runny, (which actually didn't bother me because it gave me a Dew-y look that I loved and it looked great even though I have oily skin) and it was easier to build up the coverage. The newer formula is a little bit thicker, but it's feels more "fluffy" than anything else (meaning it's feels like it's been whipped so that there is more air in the foundation). And the new formula is definitely made for a lighter coverage, not nearly as buildable as the old version (not that it was easy to build up coverage with the old version either, or that it was very unlikable, took a lot of foundation). But I'm going to try with a stippling brush instead of sponges in the near future, so that will probably help out a lot in getting more coverage. Will let you know how it goes after testing it out for a while.

BUT here's the main reason I love this foundation: I have super sensitive skin and everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, makes me breakout, EXCEPT this foundation. AND believe it or not but this foundation actually clears up my skin and overtime it makes my skin look awesome (after I've used it for a week or two). With the old version, I could build up to a light medium-ish coverage but it helped clear up my skin so after a while I could use lighter coverage and be fine with it. This formula does the same thing for my skin but I really liked the old version better. I usually use a mineral foundation over the stila anyway so the coverage issue is not a deal breaker for me anyway. I use da vinci mineral foundation in ivory which is, to say the least, awesome (btw da vinci is a.k.a. bella pierre). Actually, since I do need a heavier coverage than what I can get with this foundation, I mostly use it to even out my skin tone and for the benefits my skin gets, seriously awesome.

This foundation, in my opinion works amazingly well for my sensitive skin and I'm allergic to everything. Which is why I do need a heavier coverage, because I do have a little acne scarring and some acne but this foundation for some reason give me the clearest skin I've ever had. And I glow.

It's extremely hard for me to find any face products that don't annoy my skin in some way. Now that doesn't necessarily mean this foundation won't bother your skin but, seriously, everything bothers my skin so in my opinion it is definitely worth a shot. And If you have sensitive skin and don't want to spend money on something that just might end up in the garbage (or given to your best friend who just happens to match your skin tone), at least try to get some samples from ulta or a department store to try to see how it works and if it irritates your skin. For me, it takes at least a week from the date I start using it to really notice a difference and how much my skin seems to glow. I've bought Tarte foundation but even the lightest color was still too dark for me and didn't like how thick and heavy it was on my skin. The tarte didn't break me out, but it didn't help my skin either.

This foundation. Is definitely not for everyone since it really is a lighter coverage foundation, but my skin has never looked better than when I'm using my stila illuminating foundation. For me, stila and I will hopefully have a lifelong affair lol. And it's only $20! That's a steal in my book! I really hope this helps some one! Good luck!
