Let’s talk concealer, yea?
Like every deal with product I’ve tried from Rihanna’s Fenty appeal makeup line so far, the match Stix Matte Skinsticks, which are $25 cream-to-powder concealers (available in 20 shades), produce a lightweight skin-perfecting makeup look.
When I utilize it, I believe my deal with just looks…better. like I’ve been drinking great deals of water, eating spinach salads for lunch, getting sufficient sleep, doing burpies as well as forgoing all brainless TV. So, basically, clean livin’ all around. even if somebody is close sufficient to count your nose hairs, it still looks great. It’s as close to best skin as I believe my skin can get.

You can see a bit light bouncing off your skin when you wear this concealer. The surface looks natural, whether I wear this on its own or layer it on top of the Fenty primer or foundation.
When I set it with powder as well as apply it on top of primer as well as foundation, it sticks around for about eight hours (or five hours by itself).
I believe it’s crucial to mention once again that the protection level is straight-up medium, so if you’re trying to find opaque, durable concealing that will hide that hella ripe pimple or discoloration, this won’t be enough.

Granted, you might develop it as much as full protection if you piled it on, as well as I was able to conceal Julian the pimple completely, however it took four LAYERS of Wheat ON top OF foundation. Yeah, the protection still didn’t look thick or heavy, however I could’ve gotten away with utilizing less of something like NARS Soft Matte (and, now that I believe about it, this concealer is like NARS Soft Matte, however less pigmented) or It Cosmetics Bye Bye Breakout Full-Coverage treatment Concealer.
Wearing the Matte Skinstick in Wheat with the Fenty primer, foundation in 310 as well as the Shimmer Skinsticks in Yacht Lyfe (cheeks) as well as Rum (eyes). I’m likewise using Fenty Gloss Bomb on my lips.
You can likewise utilize it as an under-eye concealer, however I’m not crazy about that. I’m 42, so I have fine lines in my under-eye area, as well as this dries down to a powder… as well as that powder then settles into those fine lines. And, really, does any individual want fine lines that look MOAR OBVIOUS? Nooooo.
Normally, I like utilizing as bit powder as possible under my eyes — only sufficient to set my concealer — since when I wear as well much powder there, I believe it makes me look older.
Mind you, I feel like I’m Sophia Petrillo a lot of days (complete with sarcastic quips as well as a penchant for clutching my purse), however my under-eye area doesn’t requirement to expose that. Also, as well as this is just a personal preference, I like it when a bit light shows off of my skin under my eyes as well as in the inner corners. When those areas are matte, I feel like even a soft matte concealer such as this one ages me.
So I’m not crazy about this as an under-eye concealer, however I believe it’s totally on point as an general deal with concealer.
