Stick Foundation Makeup
Stick Foundation Makeup
I love the ease of use of a stick foundation. Stick foundations are creamy formula foundations that come in a stick solid form. You can use a sponge by swiping the stick than applying it with a sponge, but a stick foundation’s best feature is that it can be applied directly to your face. Just swipe your face in all areas and blend with a sponge or fingetips.
Stick foundations can also be used quite convientently as a concealer when applied to problem areas and imperfections providing precise application. Also great as an under eye concealer, just use a shade lighter than the foundation color you use.
There are many types of formulas for different skin types, so pay attention to the different skin type perferences they have for different formulas. Some are too creamy and don’t dry to a matte finish. These are not good for oily skin types. There are some formulas that have ingredients that are not made for blemish-prone skin.
