How They Wore and Review: Stila Aqua Concealer and Foundation

How They Wore

First application of foundation and concealer

12:51 pm: First application of the Stila Aqua Glow Serum Foundation and Aqua Glow Serum Concealer. I primed my face with my usual Benefit Porefessional and set my under eye area with my Lara Mercier Loose Setting Powder and the rest of my face with my Makeup Forever HD Pressed Powder in Translucent. These are products that I know work for me so if there was any difference it would be from the foundation and/or concealer.

Update at 7:13 pm after completing my makeup

7:13 pm: At this point my foundation and concealer had been on for a little over two hours and was holding up pretty well. Everything else applied smoothly on top of the foundation and concealer.

If anyone is curious I will post the details of the rest of this look at the end.

Update at 12:25 am.

12:25 am: After being on for twelve hours and going out for part of the night, you can see the foundation started to wear off, especially around my pimple. However, it lasted pretty well for being on for twelve hours.

Review

Overall both the concealer and foundation lasted well over time; however, after just one layer of each before even applying powder it looked cakey because it picked up and emphasized any dry areas I had and any bit of texture on my face. If you have dry or combination skin like myself I would not recommend either of these products for that reason. The applicator for the concealer was also difficult to work with and gave out too much product at once, which was a waste. This is not against the brand at all, I love other products from Stila, these just happened to not work out for me personally.

Thank you all for viewing my post and I will be publishing a new one very soon! Also let me know if there is something you want me to get and try during the upcoming Sephora VIB sale!!
