KRYOLAN TV PAINT STICK

Description

Here’s a full description of the Kryolan TV Paint Stick plus photos/screenshots and key usage/ingredient info to help you evaluate it.

✅ Product Overview

• The TV Paint Stick is the signature stick-foundation from Kryolan designed for full-coverage with a matte finish.
• It’s described as a hybrid formula — a creamy fusion of oils and waxes — which makes the product “incredibly durable”.
• It contains on average more than 35% pigment, giving it excellent covering power.
• Widely used by professional make-up artists for film, TV, theatre, bridal, and high-performance work due to its durability and coverage.

🧴 Key Features & Benefits

• Full coverage: Strong ability to hide blemishes, discoloration, beard / shadow, uneven skin tone.
• Matte finish: Designed to withstand lighting, heat and long wear — good for professional/tricky environments.
• Versatile format: Stick form means easy application (foundation, highlight, contour) and portability.
• Shade range: Large selection of shades and undertones (e.g., “4W” etc) to suit many skin tones.
• Can be sheered out: If you prefer lighter coverage, the brand recommends using it with “Make-up Blend” to reduce intensity.
• Removal: Because of its heavy coverage and formulation, they recommend proper cleansing (e.g., Natural Cleansing Oil) to remove it thoroughly.

🧷 How To Use

According to Kryolan:

1. Prep your skin: moisturize, and if needed apply primer suited to your skin type.
2. Apply the stick directly to skin (centre of the face recommended) and blend outwards using a foundation brush or sponge.
3. For durability: set the foundation with a powder like TV’s “Dual Finish” or “Translucent Powder”.
4. If wanting lighter coverage, mix the stick with “Make-up Blend” to dilute.
5. For removal: use cleansing oil or lotion to properly remove the dense pigment/foundation.

🎯 Suitability / Things To Consider

• Best for: Oily to combination skin, situations requiring strong coverage (bridal, photography, stage, events).
• Needs caution if: You have very dry skin or prominent texture — because high-coverage and matte finish may emphasize dry patches or texture. In fact, users report:
  

  “It accentuates any texture you might have … so for everyday: a big no.”

• Because you’re in a warm, humid climate (Sri Lanka, Kalutara) you’ll likely benefit from its durability, but ensure you pair with oil-control/prep for best effect.
• Shade matching is critical — stick foundations show differently than liquids; testing or good swatches help. As one user noted:
  

  “The Kryolan TV Paint Stick Foundation … I use their Paint Stick with their micro primer. … It lasts the full day.”

• Packaging & authenticity: Some users flagged slight packaging differences depending on region/lot.

🎨 Photos / Visuals

(At the top of this answer I included three representative images of packaging, swatches on skin, and makeup-artist usage.)
You can expect:

• A metallic/silver stick tube (Kryolan packaging)
• Many shade swatches showing undertones (warm/cool) and depth
• Application looks showing strong coverage finish

If you like, I can pull in a high-resolution image gallery (10+ swatches) of the TV Paint Stick including shades available in Sri Lanka, and also check current local pricing and stock for you (so you know where to buy in Kalutara / Sri Lanka). Would you like that?
