I've recently purchased this odd looking thing, and I'd have to say that the jury's still out on it. When I first started using it I know that I wasn't doing it properly, so it didn't really work. I put the product on with my fingers instead of a sponge or brush, and put tinted moisturizer on right afterwards without letting it set it. Don't do this, there's no point. I didn't really see that the product did anything and it got clumpy after the I hurriedly slathered on the tinted moisturizer. (It's been two of the craziest work weeks of my life, anything personal was done in a rush.)
Anyhow, one night I was feeling experimental and on a clean face, I took this multi-coloured concoction, squirted some on the back of my hand, and applied it on my face with my foundation brush. I did one side first to see if I could see the different, and I couldn't really, so I did the other side and just stared for a bit. To my delight, as the product set in, I could see it was making a change to my skin!
So what is it you ask? It's essentially a primer and a correcter all in one. It's peach, lavender and green.
Green: Counteracts with the redness on your face, and neutralizes it so it magically disappears.
Lavender: Neutralizes the ashy tones on your face.
Peach: Brightens, and illuminates.
Looking at the description on Stila's website, it also says that it has anti-aging benefits, reduces the look of fine lines, hydrates, etc.
Why is the jury still out on this? This bad boy is $47.00 plus tax. Is it worth it? I'm not entirely sure yet. If you've got some extra cash laying around and you want to give it a try, make sure to apply it properly. On a clean, dry face, with a sponge or foundation brush, and let it set in before you apply any other makeup.
If you have this product already, let me know what you think!
