Angela Bassett’s skin looks just as flawless as it did 30 years ago. In fact, despite her busy lifestyle, her time-honored skin seems to get even better with age. “I’ve always been on the move,” Bassett tells ESSENCE exclusively. “I really appreciate products that make getting ready feel easy without sacrificing quality,” she says, which makes Lancôme’s new Teint Idôle Ultra Wear Shape Stick an answered prayer.
The new multi-use complexion stick is the core of Bassett’s everyday routine. It’s a foundation, but at the same time, a contour, blush, highlighter, and even bronzer for just $46 dollars. “Beauty should work for you, not the other way around,” she says. “I’ve never believed that there’s just one way for a woman to look or show up in the world; we all have different styles and unique ways we want to express ourselves.”
While Bassett is known for her timeless beauty, she often alternates between her natural skin and dressed-up glamour. Luckily, she calls the shape stick “versatile and convenient” for its easy, multi-use application. Enriched with squalane (a moisturizing ingredient) and vitamin E (to keep your color true), it’s part of why her skin looks blurred all the time, even without wearing any makeup at all. “[It] helps me feel polished and put together every day,” she says.
It’s a complexion product formulated to make your skin look visibly smoother and youthful because it doesn’t crease, cake, or rest into fine lines and wrinkles. Instead, its angled bullet makes application more precise, whether slimming out your jawline, defining your cheekbones, or concealing perceived imperfections. And, best of all, it’ll give you a second-skin, Angela Bassett-like blur regardless of how you build.
“I love having options, and this product gives me that flexibility,” she says. “I feel that modern beauty is all about having products that support your lifestyle and help you feel like the best version of yourself.”
