Stila One Step Correct

I was so excited to try this product because I really wanted a great primer to make my makeup last all day and I have a lot of redness which this said it would take away!

I love the way it feels on the skin and it does create a nice smooth base to apply my foundation over. However for me, that's where it stops.

It does hardly anything in the way of colour correcting on my skin and I haven't noticed any difference in the longevity of my makeup when I use it.

I'll keep using it till it's gone because it does make my skin feel nice and it was so expensive, but I definitely wouldn't repurchase.

I tried this out since it looked exciting, however I found it quite underwhelming considering the price tag.

The primer itself didn’t do a bad job, but I didn’t like the way my skin looked after applying my makeup base. I looked glowy, but not good glowy! More like a very glazed donut glowy. If that’s what you’re after, then buy this!

The colour correcting part of this primer is why I purchased it, but I think it would be better to colour correct areas with separate shades.

I really wanted to like this product but unfortunately it caused my skin to be very dry & itchy. It's a neat looking product with the colourful swirls. I got a sample of this from Mecca to be on safe side, as it is quite pricey especially if it doesnt suit. So luckily, I didn't pay the hefty price tag! I tried it for a couple of a days, my skin did look better after applying my tinted moisturiser over the top but my skin became so dry & itch, so it's a real shame it didn't work for me. I gave it a break for a week then tried again this morning but it's definitely the cause of my itchy dry skin so its a no for me. I have seen other reviews where it's caused the same reaction to people. It's not for very one I guess

I brought this in australia because i had heard great things about it, but it did nothing for me at all it didnt do what it said it would (even out skin tone) and didnt find it made my foundation sit any better. I am really dissapointed in this product but it may work better on a more normal to dry skin as i have quite oily skin

I purchased this after reading great reviews, as I wanted to counteract the redness around my blemishes as well as reducing the redness in my cheeks. The texture of this primer is quite nice, it somehow smoothes the texture of your skin whilst still providing a bit of hydration. I would liken the texture to another primer I own (Fusion beauty antiageing primer) which I also enjoy the texture of. I think in terms of helping my makeup, it ensures my makeup glides on easier and lasts longer on my skin (in the same manner as the aforementioned fusion beauty primer).

The reason I am rating this product so low is because I purchased this primarily for its colour correcting properties. I found this had no effect in this regard, it didn't take down any redness in my cheeks at all. In fact I would say that my elf colour correcting primer was more effective in this respect. I also didn't find that it brighten my skintone at all.

While this is a nice primer and I will continue to use it (especially as it cost me a bomb), it simply does not offer the colour correcting properties that I purchased it for. At that price I would much rather repurchase the fusion beauty primer.

I really love this primer for something hydrating and to give my skin a bit of a "lift" but I don't feel like it "corrects" my skin as much as everyone else says! I find it offers a nice healthy hydrated glow, but doesn't even out complexion for me.

After hearing and reading so much hype over this product I had to get it to try and reduce my redness, and brighten my skin, which can get quite dull.

The packaging is good. Plastic tube, with a pump, and a really pretty helix thing going on inside. It's great for travelling with - no cracks, no spills.

The product itself has no discernible scent, which I liked. It applied lightly and easily to my skin and didn't take long to settle - also a bonus. However having nearly finished off a whole tube of it I can honestly say I didn't see any diminishing of redness or brightening of skin. My skin remained the same after each application.

That being said, I did enjoy this as a primer. My foundation goes on easily and doesn't go patchy or wear off quickly. Unfortunately that's not enough for me to warrant buying another one at the price point this product is at.

I have to be honest, I bought this because of the packaging. I didn't even read what it did. Can we just talk about the packaging for a second.. Its sooo nice! I have never seen anything like it, the spiral is so pretty and I like how you can see the pump go up as you continue using it which shows you exactly how much you have left.

Anyway, now to review the actual product.... The packaging says it is a skin tone correcting and brightening serum. I think it does its job to an extent. I would definitely agree that it is a brightening product which I really like, however, I don't think it does the best job in correcting. Some parts of my face are still quite red and I have to use a green concealer to fix that. These areas are typically around my nose and cheek area.

The product does feel very nice on the skin however. It is light and feels almost like a moisturiser. I would use this product again, however I think personally, I need a primer that has more pore filling qualities and I would just use a green concealer to cover my redness.

I would recommend this product as it feels really nice on the skin and it works well with all foundations I have used.
