Undercover Gorgeous: A Unisex, User Friendly Approach to Invisible Beauty

The “clean girl” aesthetic has dominated the beauty zeitgeist for years, I’d like to take it a step further.  Here are products I recommend for those of us looking for a an imperceivable beat.

Part One

Ilia Skin Rewind Blurring Foundation and Concealer Complexion Stick

Ilia’s complexion stick is my first mention in this series, and for good reason.  At first swipe you might mistake this product for one of your old school, full coverage, pan stick-esque foundations.  But once given a blend with fingers or a brush,  I find this complexion stick impossible to mess up.  It’s a bit spendy at $48, but worth every penny.  With 10 grams of product,  this stick offers almost twice the amount of product as most other luxury and prestige foundation sticks.  This foundation is going to last you ages.

Ilia Skin Rewind Complexion Stick

Meiki on beauty

Skin rewind complexion stick is a fragrance free formulation, great for sensitive skin.  It’s medium coverage and skin loving ingredients make it extremely effective for evening out moderately blotchy, blemished, or irritated skin.  I find the 42-color shade range to be totally inclusive, and especially intuitive for those notoriously impossible to match olive undertones.  You can finally toss your green color corrector, and minimize your foundation routine to one simple step/product.

Today’s beauty industry provides seemingly endless options when it comes to finish, formula, and delivery system when it comes to complexion products.  Ilia has made it simple with a middle of the road, satin matte skin finish stick formula that will have people complimenting your skin, not your foundation.  Regardless of your skin type, tone, or texture, there’s no cakey chalkboard matte flatness, and no greasy disco ball reflectivity – not a stitch of makeup in sight.
