About the Stick

trestique's Foundation Stick comes in a solid, cream-gel form. It provides skin-loving ingredients for a weightless, even base to prep for makeup application. Applying Foundation Stick correctly can help achieve a natural and flawless look. In this guide, we'll walk-through how to apply the Foundation Stick step-by-step.

Why We Love It 

Formula Side 1: The weightless, cream-based formula glides on effortlessly for a medium coverage finish. Our proprietary carrot complex creates a skin-protective barrier, known to help protect against the long-term effects of blue light, which can result in the loss of firmness, lines and wrinkles, and uneven tone. Hyaluronic Acid and Vitis Vita Actives work to give the skin deep hydration and promote a more youthful appearance. 

Applicator Side 2: The built-in, ultra-plush blending sponge seamlessly blends foundation without any streaking or caking.

The Shades:
