Product details

Three Hera Silky Stay foundation bottles with black caps in light to beige shades on a beige stone table beside stacked black stones and a ribbon of liquid foundation

Long-wear foundation

A soft liquid foundation with a silky, radiant finish that Hera built to last 24 hours without retouching.

Silky Stay is Hera’s long-wear liquid foundation. A silky texture with fine powder smooths over pores, fine lines and imperfections, and the medium, buildable coverage melts into skin for a natural look. Hera says a fixing technology keeps it from creasing, wearing off or darkening, while hyaluronic acid keeps it comfortable all day.

Long wear without creasing or darkening, per Hera

What’s inside

The ingredients doing the work

  • Silky, weightless feel

    Light, fast-evaporating silicones give the silky glide and leave a thin, flexible layer.

    No. 2, 7, 9 of 34 on the list

  • Fine, blurring powders

    Soft-focus powders smooth over pores and fine lines for the soft-radiant finish.

    No. 11, 17, 28 of 34 on the list

  • Long-wear film + sun protection

    A film-forming resin helps the coverage hold, and titanium dioxide gives SPF20 PA++.

    No. 3, 4 of 34 on the list

  • Hyaluronic acid

    Humectants that keep a long-wear base feeling comfortable rather than dry.

How to use

Dot, blend, build

  1. 1

    Pump

    Pump a small amount; a little covers a lot.

  2. 2

    Dot

    Dot it over the forehead, cheeks, nose and chin.

  3. 3

    Blend

    Hera says fingers give a moist, close fit, a brush a thin, precise layer and a sponge or puff the quickest base.

  4. 4

    Build

    Layer a little more where you want extra coverage.

Stay silky, stay you

Soft, natural coverage with a silky glow that keeps its place from morning to night.

Good to know

  • Shades here: 17C1 Petal Ivory, 23C1 Pink Beige and 23N1 Beige; Hera makes 12 shades across cool, neutral and warm undertones.
  • Contains fragrance.
  • Hera says it sets with a fine veil of moisture rather than a powdery finish, and the hyaluronic acid keeps it from feeling dry or lifting.
  • If you also wear Hera’s Black Cushion, pick the same shade number; Hera notes the cushion is about half a tone brighter.
