3 Editors Try Ilia’s New Foundation Stick on Different Skin Types

Ilia Skin Rewind Blurring Foundation and Concealer Complexion Stick in 3W Spruce ($48)

"I love the idea of makeup working double time to soften the appearance of lines and wrinkles on my skin. Usually, I'm not inclined to apply makeup with a stick as I do have dry patches and I find the pigment can cake up in spots. However, I was surprised by the soft application of Ilia's Complexion Stick, and felt that it melted into my skin more easily than other matte products. Ultimately, I think I'm a liquid foundation and concealer girl at heart, but I love the idea that this stick is long-lasting. I did have a pimple on my nose at the time of testing, and I found that the complexion stick helped to reduce the redness. However, I still noticed a bit of flakiness in the area from caking." — Sarah Wasilak, associate content director, commerce
