Mandy Moore, Nikki Reed, Julianne Moore, Hilary Swank, Joni Mitchell, Reese Witherspoon, Miranda Kerr, Kacey Musgraves—name a celebrity and there’s a good chance they’ve gone public with their love for ILIA. The clean beauty brand’s emphasis on “skin that looks like skin” means all of ILIA’s makeup—including tints, foundations, blushes, lip products, highlighters and more—are first and foremost powered by skin-enhancing ingredients. That same ethos goes into overdrive with ILIA’s freshly launched Skin Rewind Complexion Stick ($48). The formula is so good at blurring pores, camouflaging redness and smoothing uneven texture that shoppers say it replaces foundation and concealer altogether.
But wait, it gets better. ILIA’s Friends & Family Sale is on now through June 13. In a sale so big only Black Friday is comparable, take 20 percent off every ILIA product, or if your total hits $125 or more, the discount jumps to 25 percent off. Orders over $175, also get 25 percent off, plus a FREE full-size True Skin Serum Concealer ($32).
ILIA may be best-known for its Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40 ($48), an award-winning combination of makeup, skin care and SPF, but if you aren’t a fan of a dewy look consider Complexion Stick. Using ceramides, peptides, winged kelp extract and butterfly lavender extract, it delivers a near-flawless natural-matte finish. With 42 different shades to choose from, it acts as a medium-to-full-coverage foundation or can simply be used as a concealer. No matter how you wear it, its firming, strengthening and replenishing formula makes skin look healthier and softens the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
“I will never buy another foundation again!” exclaims one customer. “Completely eliminated my need for concealer,” raves a second. “It’s the natural look I’ve been searching for that still covers my blemishes and dark spots,” shares a third. Other reviewers say Complexion Stick “glides on like butter,” “looks invisible on skin,” and blends into skin “effortlessly.”
