Foundation Sticks
With a foundation stick in your makeup bag, you can apply your base quickly and flawlessly. This no-spill foundation option comes in slim packaging for easy use. Explore the selection of stick foundations at CVS to find the perfect match for your skin.
What Is a Foundation Stick?
Instead of the traditional liquid foundation, a foundation stick turns the face makeup into a solid product that comes in a cylindrical tube. You can apply it directly to your face, which makes your makeup routine faster and easier. It tends to go on thicker than liquid foundation with full coverage, which makes it ideal for covering up skin imperfections. You can also use a foundation stick as a concealer, and you can go darker or lighter to use it for contouring or highlighting.
Sticks are virtually mess-free since they can't spill. The compact size makes a foundation stick easy to slip into your purse for touch-ups and take along for travel.
Which Foundation Stick Is the Best?
The best foundation stick depends on your skin type and coverage preferences. Like other face makeup, a foundation stick needs to match your skin tone and undertone to look natural and blend in well. You can also find versions with different features, such as hydrating, skin-perfecting or long-lasting stick foundation, to match your preferences and needs.
While stick foundation often provides fuller coverage, you can find versions with different coverage levels and finishes to get the look you want. For example, the best stick foundation for mature skin is one that isn't too thick or heavy, such as a medium-coverage foundation. A moisturizing foundation can also be beneficial for mature skin, which is sometimes drier and thinner than younger skin.
Is a Foundation Stick Good for Oily Skin?
A foundation stick can be an effective makeup option for any type of skin, including oily skin. Some foundation stick formulations add extra oils, so they go on smoothly and don't dry out on your face. If you have oily skin, look for an oil-free foundation stick without the added oils.
How to Apply a Foundation Stick
To get smooth, flawless results, start with a face primer before applying the foundation stick. Apply the foundation directly to the skin, starting with a light coating. You can build up more foundation if you want more coverage. Blend the foundation with a beauty blender or foundation brush to get your desired look.
