Stila Perfect and Correct Foundation - Swatches and Review

Just saw this new Stila Perfect and Correct Foundation online and HAD to try.  This is a new foundation that is similar to their One Step Correct primer released last year.  This is a lightweight foundation that offers build-able coverage but has unique ingredients to benefit your skin.  

From Sephora: Combining an advanced emollient system to hydrate and moisturize the skin, a unique multimineral complex, and an array of skin-soothing ingredients, Perfect and Correct delivers a luxurious, high-performance, and high-definition foundation. Infused with Stila's exclusive Youth Revival Bio-Available Mineral Complex™, Perfect and Correct reads and reacts to the skin's needs and targets skin imperfections to correct them. 



Sounds really good! Plus I love the swirled look of the foundation.  It comes in 8 shades from Fair to Deep.  I am reviewing Fair which Sephora describes it as 'for porcelain to fair complexions'.



Compared with my favorite foundation above

The texture is super soft, but not heavy at all! The color looked a little too yellow for my skin tone, but decided to try on my face.  I normally have combination skin, very oily in my t-zone but also have dry patches.  I moisturized my skin like normal and applied the foundation without any primer.  The foundation just blended right into my skin.  No dry spots and provided good coverage where I need it most.  The color did not seem as yellow once I applied to my face and I didn't feel like I was wearing any makeup at all.  I set the foundation with Bare Escentuals' Mineral Veil.  I am going on 7 hours and have no break-through oiliness!

Overall, even though the color was a little yellow for my skin tone - it still applied perfectly!  I love the lightweight texture and the feeling of no makeup on.  Also, there is no need for a primer because this has it built in. This is my new favorite foundation, which is a bold comment because I am picky and haven't found anything I really like since Giorgio Armani Lasting Silk.
