As someone who's pretty lazy when it comes to makeup, I love how easy it is to use - just swipe it on and pat with the puff, and you're done. So convenient! The ivory shade matched my #22 skin tone perfectly. The size is just right, fits nicely in my makeup pouch, and it's pretty enough that I enjoy carrying it around. It's my first time trying a stick foundation, and I'm impressed by how user-friendly it is. It works especially well with my Espoir puff - they're a perfect match!
ConsThe staying power isn't the greatest, but it's easy to touch up on the go, which is nice.

Back then, I found it unexpectedly dry, stiff, and it applied too thick, so I swore off stick foundations. I decided to give this a try because: 1. I was already satisfied with Espoir's Be Glow cushion. 2. The cushion's longevity and coverage left a bit to be desired. 3. I stumbled upon a YouTube video showing how stick products can complement cushions in terms of staying power and coverage. Using it in real life, I've found that: Despite being a stick, it's surprisingly hydrating. While the coverage isn't as high as I'd hoped, layering it over the cushion does improve coverage. It doesn't clump up, spreads thinly and evenly, and touch-ups are a breeze. The biggest difference is in my overall makeup routine. Previously, when my skin was acting up, I'd go all out with primer, Estée Lauder Double Wear, concealer, and powder. Even then, with my poor skin condition and dryness, it would end up patchy and cakey in places - it was a disaster. Switching to Espoir has made my makeup routine so much easier. Of course, I've had to accept that it won't completely hide blemishes. I love how it brightens my complexion and gives a dewy glow. This product would have truly shined in a mask-free era! After bouncing between foundations for ages, I never expected to settle on Espoir.
ConsWhile it starts off hydrating, it does feel a bit drier as time goes on. The longevity isn't particularly impressive, but in my opinion, it doesn't break down too badly. Easy touch-ups are a plus. The coverage, though... leaves something to be desired.
TipTry spritzing some setting spray on your puff before application.
