Stila Stay All Day Foundation & Concealer, 30 ml

This is the first foundation I've bought in about 4 years that actually stays on, doesn't look caky, provides enough coverage and doesn't make me look shiny, yet also not dull (a tough ask, innit?). I have very weird combination skin. Dry bits, and ageing, whilst also oily and spotty - basically the worst of all worlds. I need coverage, but I hate a "made-up" look. Stila Stay all Day has ticked the boxes. The colour match was great too. I really like this product.

I like this. I use the foundation more than the concealer but they both seem good. It goes on nicely, good coverage, lasts and it looks like skin. I have very dry skin so some foundations will cling to dry patches. This looks good. It’s pretty thick but spreads well and blends easy. I’ll buy this again.

Good coverage but could do with a little more translucency. Easy to apply and non comedonic

The concealer is nice and creamy, just glides on to your face. The foundation I love the fact that I just press on the top and it pops up. It really helps making sure I’m not overdoing it. Has good coverage and quite thick consistency. Does stay on throughout the day. A decent good performing foundation.

Great product! Good coverage! Glides on after moisturizing. Stays true colour all day. Would buy again.

My favourite foundation at the moment, quite full coverage so a little goes a long way. A relatively good range of shades and the finish is semi matte and long wearing. Blends well but you need to work quickly.

As a rule of thumb nowadays, I think you should look at the bad reviews first. That's not because I'm a harsh reviewer, but because I've been stung so many times by frothing reviews only to find that I agree much more with the few bad reviews a product receives. Case in point. This is a terrible foundation! It's very, very orange. I got 'bare' and the swatches were 50/50 on giving me hope or causing me worry... nope, this is orange. The concealer is extremely thick, waxy and orange, I didn't even try it. The foundation looks ok, but is orange on the face. It's also sheer and yet thick, and oily. To get a decent coverage, you'd need to layer this to the point where you looked like you had a coat of paint on your face. And yet, even with so little coverage, it is so thick and claggy on the face. I heard it was good for oily skin and think nowadays people don't know what oily skin is, because my oil slick rapidly rejected this mess from my skin in a shiny gloop. It's so horrible. I never heard anyone talk about this foundation, it lurked at the bottom of Boots' webpage and various shady makeup sites... and yet I'd heard of the brand, so with the glowing reviews, I thought it was a hidden gem. No, this is just a bad product. It's horrible in every way. And it's expensive. If you have oily and/or textured skin, are pale, need make-up with coverage, need make-up that doesn't look like a thick gloopy layer on your skin, need make up that lasts, or just don't want to look awful... stay far, far away from this foundation.

It ok nothing fantastic
