stila Convertible Color Dual Lip and Cheek Cream

WIFE LIKES IT,

Wonderful

I have been using the Stila Convertible for a couple years now. I started with Poppy, moved to Rose, then added others: Petunia, Fuchsia, Gladiola.Peony is one of the last ones I ventured on, because I didn't think it would suit my NC42 (warm medium-dark) coloring. I thought it would just be too light and a bit too muddy.WRONG. Wonderful cheek color on me. Very good discreet color that enlivens cheeks subtly for daytime. I love how it matches delightfully with one of my fave lipstick combos: Dolce Vita by Nars, the pencil, lipstick and gloss. This cheek color is perfect for that popular lip color.As I said, I'm on the darker side of medium, olive-toned. I can wear some of the Stila Convertibles on my lips, the richer colors--Poppy and Rose. Others are just too light. But for fairer ladies, I think lots of these colors would work wonderfully.I will add that having a quality brush makes application a dream. I don't use fingers to apply on cheeks. I find my MAC skunk brush (and the mini skunk brush) both apply beautifully, especially POPPY which can be garish if the application is not skillful.It's best to apply lightly and build up on the cheeks. It's best to use a lip brush to apply on the lips.I love this product so much, I went to eBay to buy "Orchid", a discontinued color. It's the darkest/deepest of the colors, deep berry. It's one of my faves, so a pity they don't make fresh ones.On a note for Asian-toned/Golden-skinned/Warmer skinned ladies: The gladiola is amazing. I thought that color would be gross, but it totally adds light and glow to the skin (as does Petunia, but that one is more like warm pink/coral). Gladiola has orange tones, but it's not clownish. If there is warm/gold in your natural skin tone, this will just LIGHT you up. I love it for warm/sunny days/summer.Petunia goes beautifully with MAC Cyndi (discontined) I love that combo.Lillium was one I tried that was a total fail on my coloring. It's definitely for fairer ladies.Anyway, I highly recommend this,e specially for aging/dry skin. I'm 52, and used to always use powder blush. But post-menopause, my skin got crazy dry. I can use foundation, the Stila blush, and no powder, and I look fine.Happy blushing!

Such a pretty color on my fair neutral skin tone. It’s unfortunate that it’s such a small pan for the cost. I decided to give it a try after finding out it was used on some of the Bridgerton girls. A little does go a long way so maybe it’ll last me some time if I use it sparingly. Otherwise I hopefully cane find a dupe for it. Quality is great, leaves a nice natural healthy glow to the skin, blends seamlessly.

A love all Stila Cream blushes. But Lillium is a brownish link/neutral and seems to look good on almost everyone who wears it. These blushes are very easy to apply. With a little bit of setting spray and/or primer they stay for quite awhile. It gives a dewy glow. The small compact lasts a long time. This is my third one in four years (wearing it at least 3 times a week). It’s with the money, I think. (And one of the only expensive products I’ve found that doesn’t have a decent dupe). I also have Gerbera and like it a lot, too (especially for spring and summer). It’s a very muted coral color.

The first time I bought this Stila blush was from a department store. It’s so easy to apply and stays on four hours. Happily I saw it on Amazon, which made it easier to purchase. It could also be used as a lipstick. Perfect for when you need both in a hurry. I highly recommend this product and have bought it many times myself.

I love this product and this color. I am 60+ and it goes on smoothly without settling in my wrinkles. The color looks natural (I have fair skin). My only complaint is that the compact always breaks at the hinges. I don't carry it around, it sits in a drawer, but it still breaks. I consider trying other brands because of this, but basically, I'm lazy and like the product so I keep ordering it.Update: I've added a photo of my latest compact, already broken at the hinges. As you can see, it's barely used, it's only been used for two weeks. It has been in a drawer, taken out for application only. I'm going to find another blush and am downgrading my rating due to this issue.

I thought I found the perfect cream blush……. until I tried this one. A lot of other cream blushes (I’ve tried so many; patrick ta, nudestix, milk makeup..) will either pick up makeup underneath, oxidize and turn orange, separate or just not last. This one checks all the marks for me. It’s affordable, it’s creamy, it applies evenly, the color is super natural and universally flattering, and it LASTS and layers beautifully. Also I’m surprised at how much product you get because looking at the compact you might think it will last very long. This is my new holy grail cream blush.
