Perfect second skin finish and my all time favorite stick formula
No beauty filter or trickery needed, this foundation stick is my holy grail for both texture and shade match. I use Polynesian Ivory to brighten, paradise island beige as a bronzer and Bora Bora Coral on the cheek. I feel like my fingers work better than the sponge applicator to melt the product into my skin.
For days when I want a minimalist, "single layer" makeup look, this combo is my go to.
As I trudge further into my 40s, my skin texture is changing and I can't use a liquid foundation, liquid concealer, powder to set, then powder blush/bronze/highlight. The fine lines and sun damage makes the makeup look heavy and it ages me. Just using a lightweight stick in a single layer with no overlap looks so much more fresh and natural, and I think what makes Tres Stique stand out from my other foundations is how seamless and natural the application is.
Through trial and error, I've found this foundation prefers to be warmed on the back of the hand and tapped on with fingers. I start with my brightening color (Polynesian Ivory) under my eyes, mid forehead, down the bridge and nose tip and center of the chin. Then I use Paradise Island Beige (a deeper/warmer tone) in place of a bronzer on my cheeks and forehead. Blush is tapped in last, and I don't even need to set it with powder.
