Anastasia Beverly Hills Stick Foundation Review and Swatches
The second largest release in makeup history after Urban Decay’s 100 lipstick debut, is the Anastasia Beverly Hills Stick Foundation line, or as they call it their “Stick to Flawless” new signature lineup of Stick Foundations. From a wide array of natural skin tones, to their popular and most sought after highlighting and contouring creams, this my friends will be a product EVERY beauty lover has by the end of next year! What is this product anyway? What separates it from the rest? Well, simply said, according to their website the product is a “highly pigmented, build-able cream formula that leaves a natural matte finish.” They suggest the Stick Foundation should be applied as an all-over foundation, sheered out tinted moisturizer, or simply for as stated above highlighting and contouring. Unlike other brands who over glamorize, the item description is completely TRUE, especially the factor of lightweight tubes and an ideal match for combination or oily skinned ABH users…though I think they might wanna’ add dry into there as I myself am plagued by dry patches and this glided right over!
**UPDATE 9/21/16: IVORY WAS FOUND TO BE A BETTER MATCH** **UPDATE 11/3/16: Product still is absolutely amazing, and has a ton of product to go!** **UPDATE 1/25/17: Product is running low, but is the only thing that has reacted well to my skin type** **UPDATE 2/1/17 (FINAL CONCLUSION)” Product does the job, but isn’t anything to ride home about. Good for if you need a quick “pick-me-up”, or a spot coating on blemishes.
Retailing at $25.00, you receive a vegan and cruelty free product available in 26 shades, around 6 are highlight/contour hues!

All in all I would 100% recommend this product to ANYONE of any skin color, skin texture, or skin concern since I proved all that even in my worst conditions this baby works! I would like to clarify a MATTE NATURAL finish means some sheen will shine through, it’s not formally matte, nor a demi matte, its meant to look natural and last all day long until of course, you remove it. Hope you beauties enjoyed this review, will you be purchasing the Anastasia Beverly Hills Stick Foundation XOXO, Thaeyeballqueen, Lillee Jean Trueman?!
