We tried the debut foundation from the “skin first, makeup second” beauty brand — here are our honest thoughts.
From the first use, I liked the glass component with a pump dispenser — much easier for me to wield and then apply than the brand’s more watery skin tint. You can really control how much comes out of the bottle, so it’s easy to start light without wasting product. The gel-cream texture wasn’t goopy or sticky, and it glided easily across my face.
However, I did give up pretty quickly on the Stretch Face Brush. I felt like I could only use it on the widest parts in my face, moving it around in long Gua Sha-like strokes on account of its shape. It didn’t feel natural to use, and I could only blend the foundation in lines. In my opinion, the Stretch Fluid Foundation looked better when I could buff it out in small circles with a handled, flat-top foundation brush.
The finish of the foundation was definitely as described — comfortable and skin-like in a not-too- matte-not-too-dewy way. However, especially with an extra hit of the dewy concealer on my tired under-eyes and the redness around my nose, I felt like I was a littlewet feeling when I first put it on. I now like to set it with a little translucent powder, rather than waiting for it to dry down, but that probably wouldn’t be necessary had I more patience.
As cute as she is, I don’t realistically see myself using the brush very often. While the size, shape, and swivel cover make it great for throwing in a go-bag, I’m almost always doing my makeup at home with access to brushes that I feel more comfortable using, and I don’t have to work as hard to avoid streaks.
Another takeaway? Using the Stretch Collection in its entirety reminded me how much I liked the OG Stretch Concealer and made me wonder why I ever stopped using it in the first place. It really is a handy go-to concealer that makes covering up imperfections as easy as tapping your finger. Because it’s got a semi-sheer property , it diffuses into the rest of your face or makeup seamlessly, making mostly goof-proof to use.
