  Pros

  Reviewer: Shades 19-21 / Combination skin (oily T-zone, normal to dry U-zone) First off, the packaging is incredibly luxurious and beautiful... It's a pleasure to use! You might think Ivory = Shade 21, but as you can see in the photos, it's definitely lighter than 21! I'd guess it's closer to shade 19. This could be intriguing for those tired of cushions and foundations. The formula glides on smoothly! At first glance, it might seem too glowy, but once applied, it's not overwhelming (though oily skin types might find it quite luminous). I tried applying with a toothbrush-style brush and an Espoir cushion puff. The brush seemed to give a more matte finish, while the puff increased adherence. This would be great for those with normal to combination skin without blemishes!

  Cons

  The coverage is... well, disappointing. It barely conceals anything, be it scars or blemishes. Adherence is average at best. Unless applied extremely thinly, it tends to separate and clump when wearing a mask. Though I had similar issues with Holika Holika's stick foundation, so it might be characteristic of the format. Either way, it's not ideal for our mask-wearing era. It's very susceptible to oil, disappearing quickly, so those with oily skin will need to set it with powder. It also tends to flake on dry areas, making it challenging for someone like me who prefers a quick application. While it looks bright initially, it darkens noticeably after just 1-2 hours. There's a difference between a foundation melding with your skin tone and oxidizing, and in my experience, this leans towards the latter, unfortunately.

  Tip

  I'd recommend patting it on like a stamp rather than swiping to reduce clumping, but... that defeats the purpose of a stick foundation's convenience, doesn't it?

  Pros

  I've tried several stick foundations, but this one applies incredibly smoothly, which I love. The color payoff is beautifully spot-on. It's great that you can apply it thinly for a sheer, luminous finish.

  Cons

  It's a bit disappointing that the packaging isn't made of a fingerprint-resistant material.

  Tip

  For perfect coverage, apply one layer all over, then gently pat on a bit more where you need extra concealing!
