Swap Your Foundation and Concealer for An “Extra Blurring” Makeup Stick

Mandy Moore, Nikki Reed, Julianne Moore, Hilary Swank, Joni Mitchell, Reese Witherspoon, Miranda Kerr, Kacey Musgraves—name a celebrity and there’s a good chance they’ve gone public with their love for ILIA. The clean beauty brand’s emphasis on “skin that looks like skin” means all of ILIA’s makeup—including tints, foundations, blushes, lip products, highlighters and more—are first and foremost powered by skin-enhancing ingredients. That same ethos goes into overdrive with ILIA’s freshly launched Skin Rewind Complexion Stick ($48). The formula is so good at blurring pores, camouflaging redness and smoothing uneven texture that shoppers say it replaces foundation and concealer altogether.

ILIA may be best-known for its Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40 ($48), an award-winning combination of makeup, skin care and SPF, but if you aren’t a fan of a dewy look consider Complexion Stick. Using ceramides, peptides, winged kelp extract and butterfly lavender extract, it delivers a near-flawless natural-matte finish. With 42 different shades to choose from, it acts as a medium-to-full-coverage foundation or can simply be used as a concealer. No matter how you wear it, its firming, strengthening and replenishing formula makes skin look healthier and softens the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

“I will never buy another foundation again!” exclaims one customer. “Completely eliminated my need for concealer,” raves a second. “It’s the natural look I’ve been searching for that still covers my blemishes and dark spots,” shares a third. Other reviewers say Complexion Stick “glides on like butter,” “looks invisible on skin,” and blends into skin “effortlessly.”

Think of Skin Tint as a makeup product and a skin treatment. It’s powered by potent levels of skin-care ingredients like hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, squalane and non-nano zinc-oxide to give skin a healthy glow that gets even better as you wear it.

Limitless Lash has completely changed my perspective on clean mascaras. Its flake-resistant formula is buildable, never leaves behind raccoon eyes and the dual sided comb leaves lashes perfectly separated, lifted and voluminous.

For one makeup product that makes a big impact, grab Multi-Stick. With 12 flattering colors to choose from, it’s the creamy wash of color cheeks and lips need for an instant complexion boost.

Actress and clean beauty advocate Nikki Reed calls this the “best” foundation on the market. Its award-winning formula features active levels of smoothing niacinamide and soothing allantoin so pores appear minimized and redness is reduced. Just like you, “but more polished,” says the brand.

My favorite lip balm, ever. It’s creamy and buttery, never dries out my lips and the colors are stunning whether I wear one coat or five. I swear my lips instantly look more plump, too.

ILIA’s best-selling eye cream is like a mini spa treatment for your under eyes. It reduces puffiness and brightens dark circles thanks to retinol-alternative sea fennel extract, which delivers all the benefits of retinol without the drawbacks of traditional retinol. Then avocado extract, caffeine and peptides blend to awaken tired eyes fast, while the cooling applicator tip doubles as massage tool.

I used this lightweight moisturizer all winter long as a base under my heavier creams—it kept my complexion comfortable and glowing through months of cold air and dry indoor heat. Now that warmer weather has (finally) arrived, I use it alone as my daily moisturizer. I give it an A+ for melting into skin, reducing redness and smoothing texture.
