What Makes the Architecture Foundation Stick Special
Tom Ford Beauty describes the product as a high-performance foundation stick that glides on with a soft texture and diffuses into a velvety, soft matte finish. The brand positions it as a multi-use formula for every step of its Architecture regimen.
According to the brand, the buildable, medium-to-full coverage formula uses Tom Ford's Second-Skin Wear Technology. The brand says this technology adapts to skin movement to prevent creasing and settling. Tom Ford Beauty also says the hyaluronic acid microspheres provide immediate hydration and that the formula is lightweight and breathable.
According to Tom Ford Beauty, the formula offers:
- 24-hour non-creasing, non-settling, non-poring, non-caking wear
- Shine control without drying the skin
- Sweat and humidity resistance
- High-definition pigments that color-correct and enhance skin tone
Four Ways to Use It
The brand lists four uses for the stick:
- As foundation: Use a true-to-skin shade all over the face. Apply directly or with the Tom Ford Foundation Brush 02.
- As contour: Pick a shade 2–3 intensities deeper than your skin tone. Sculpt under the cheekbones, across the jawline and forehead, and down the sides of the nose, then blend the edges with the Tom Ford Foundation Brush 02.
- As highlighter: Pick a shade 1–2 intensities lighter than your skin tone. Apply down the center of the nose, on the upper cheekbones, on the cupid's bow and at the center of the chin.
- As concealer: Apply directly to spot-correct redness, blemishes and imperfections. Use a lighter or warmer shade to conceal and brighten under-eye circles or dark spots.
How It Compares to the Architecture Soft Matte Blurring Foundation
Tom Ford Beauty describes the existing Architecture Soft Matte Blurring Foundation as "a lightweight formula with a soft-matte finish." That liquid formula uses soft-focus microsphere powders to blur and, according to the brand, control oil for up to 24 hours. It also contains antioxidants including tocopherol and tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, a stable form of vitamin C.
The stick comes in a portable format and is intended for contouring and highlighting as well as base coverage. Both products belong to Tom Ford Beauty's Architecture collection.
