Stick foundation

Does anyone use one? If so would you recommend it generally, and also can you recommend one to use?
I like the look of the Bobbi Brown one. Liquid foundation seems too much for me at the moment. I’m on maternity leave and don’t wear much make up day to day.

I use the Bobbi Brown foundation stick (am slightly addicted to a lot of there products!!). I was definitely converted, it’s buildable & sits perfectly on my skin. I use either the BB round foundation brush (expensive at £30 but it’s a fab brush & will last a long time) or sometimes a sponge. Def go along to a counter to get colour matched. 😀

Make Up Forever HD stick. Most natural colours ever and full coverage but still dewy. You don't even need to really blend it in.

I’ve tried quite a few, including the Bobbi Brown one, TBH I wouldn’t buy again.

My absolute favourite is the the Cover Fx cover click ones, my skin has changed for very oily to very dry in the last few months (medication) and it has worked equally well on both. A little goes a long, long way and it’s v buildable to look natural or glam as you’d like. Holds up in the heat too. I must like it a lot as I have it in my summer shade, spring shade, autumn shade, winter shade and a couple of others to mix with!

I’ve recently bought the Hourglass vanish stick, wow is it pigmented.... however it’s the least transfer proof foundation I’ve ever tried, but it holds up in the heat and is v pigmented. Just don’t touch your face! Will I buy again... probably not TBH. But it has the best packaging design ever for a foundation stick, so I might..... also, I’m not sure it would be the best for very oily skin.

Another one that’s surprisingly good and not just because of the price, is the Primark one! It’s £2.50 and I really love it. Shade range is crap though. But if you happen to match one of the shades, I’d start there before shelling out for a more £££ foundation stick.
