[Live Tinted's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/it-feels-good-to-be-seen) 'Huestick® Complexion Stick' builds on the cult-favorite status of its original color corrector. Available now on [LiveTinted.com](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/live-tinted-expands) and Ulta.com, the new foundation stick delivers creamy, medium-to-full blur-powered coverage in 20 inclusive shades -- each developed with real undertones and real feedback from the brand’s Tint Fam community.

Designed for flexibility, the stick can be used all over or strategically to brighten, contour, bronze, or conceal. It’s packed with skincare-forward ingredients like ceramides, squalane, hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, and antioxidant-rich goji berry to nourish while you wear it. Vegan, cruelty-free, fragrance-free, and dermatologist tested, this formula meets modern standards for clean and effective complexion products.

Live Tinted’s launch of the Huestick® Complexion Stick underscores its commitment to community-led, inclusive innovation. As one of the fastest-growing South Asian-owned brands at [Ulta Beauty](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stila-cosmetics), this expansion strengthens its foothold in the clean complexion category and reinforces representation as a core business strategy.
