TV Paint Stick

TV Paint Stick is an iconic, highly pigmented stick foundation celebrated for delivering full, opaque coverage and a flawless matte-satin finish. Formulated with a blend of cream and wax, it is ideal for stage, photography, bridal, and high-definition screen makeup where maximum coverage and long-lasting durability are required.

Step-by-Step Application Guide

1. Skin Preparation

• Deep Hydration: Because stick foundations are rich and concentrated, thoroughly moisturize your skin and allow it to absorb for 2–3 minutes.

• Primer Base: Apply a hydrating or smoothing primer, especially over dry areas, to help the stick formula glide effortlessly across the skin.

2. Strategic Placement

• Swipe the paint stick directly onto the main areas of the face: 2–3 light strokes across the cheeks, 1 on the forehead, 1 down the bridge of the nose, and 1 on the chin.

• Less Is More: Start with minimal product; its high pigment density (over 35% coverage) means a small amount goes a long way.

3. Blending Technique

• With a Damp Beauty Sponge (For a Natural Finish): Bounce a damp makeup sponge in outward press-and-roll motions. The moisture in the sponge helps shear out the dense cream for a smooth, skin-like texture.

• With a Dense Foundation Brush (For Full Coverage): Use a dense, synthetic stippling or buffing brush to press and blend the formula from the center of the face outward.

4. Setting & Locking

• Bake / Set: Press a generous amount of translucent setting powder or fixing powder over the foundation using a powder puff or sponge, focusing on the T-zone and under-eye area.

• Dust Off: Let the powder sit for 1–2 minutes to lock the creams in place, then gently sweep away excess powder with a fluffy brush.

Pro Tips for Flawless Results

• Highlighting & Contour Duo: Use a lighter shade of the stick under the eyes and on high points of the face to highlight, and a shade 2–3 tones darker along the hollows of cheekbones and jawline to contour.

• Sheering Out the Cream: To convert this heavy coverage stick into a sheer, everyday liquid base, mix a small scrape of the stick with a drop of facial oil or liquid moisturizer on the back of your hand before applying.

• Oil-Based Cleansing: Because of its long-wearing wax and oil base, remove the TV Paint Stick thoroughly at the end of the day using an oil-based cleanser or cleansing balm.
