I am reviewing now, a 4 in 1 makeup product from Lotus herbals which claims to act as a Foundation, Concealer, Matt powder finish but yet moisturizing and has UV protection. Isn't that interesting? I got this product as one of the part of the Lotus Herbals Gorgeous Natural Diva kit and using it now and then when I step out. A great plus of this product is that is a herbal one. I always prefer naturally made products for my skin than chemicals and hence this one made me say yeah. I have already reviewed the Pure Color Lipstick from this kit. It is a lovely red rose shade for daily wear, suits most of the Indian skin tones. My first impression with this swift makeup stick was quite good as it is attractive with a 4 in 1 claim and comes in a cute handy pack. Now let us move on to my detailed review and swatches.

My Views and Ratings
The Packaging
The natural blend swift makeup SPF 15 comes in a red with golden coloured twist type stick like lipsticks come. This makes every application easier and quicker. The pack is sturdy and no chance for any damage while travel, so travel friendly too. The stick is very handy, colourful and overall, nice packaging. But I felt the cap and the stick can be more cuter and firmer (he he greedy me)
4/5
Colour, Texture and Fragrance
This product comes in 3 different shades and thus it can be easier to choose one of your skin type. It glides onto the skin so smoothly without any hardness and blends quickly. The fragrance is similar to that of compacts, sure it is not overpowering. No bad I find in it. Sorry
4.5/5
How it Works
I use my fingers to blend this onto my skin as brush gives a streaky look, however you can use makeup sponges to blend it evenly. This doesn't give a high matte effect as per the claim but it gives a nice glow and dewy effect to my facial skin. The coverage of this makeup stick can be taken as low-medium. It helps to hide minor imperfections and light dark circles but big spots and other scars cannot be completely hidden. It stays for up to 7 hours and fades eventually without any artificial look. I would say this a best makeup stick for everyday formal or casual wear as this gives no heavy makeup look. It's light, gentle, side effect free and gives a nice glow. However, oily girls will need a compact to get matte effect as this may make you feel little oily. This is a great product for dry skinned beauties to carry on their handbag everyday. Overall, a good product again from Lotus Herbals.

CONS
- Doesn't hide big spots and scars but this cannot be taken as a con for the price and worth.
