Play Sticks

I absolutely love this foundation, and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a foundation that gives great coverage. It's really practical, quick to use, and feels silky on the skin. The only downside to the product I would say is that if you have oily skin it like me, it doesn't always sit well. However that can always be sorted with an oil absorbing/minimising primer. I find that this makeup lasts really well when I use Benefits pore-minimising primer, and top it off with there Hello Flawless powder.

I fancied a change from my usual liquid foundations and though I'd give this a whirl. This isn't the best foundation for oily skin so a good primer is essential but a small amount of product provides very good coverage. It also smells really nice; a bit like lavender and fresh tea leaves. The biggest downside is that there are only four shades. Spin the Bottle is slightly pinker than my natural complexion but I use so little of it that it can be easily corrected by a bit of concealer. Some people shy away from stick foundations because they have a reputation for being cakey, and this is true if you apply it directly onto the skin, but if you apply a couple of light strokes onto a flat-top brush and buff it into the skin the result is much more natural and flattering. Overall, this foundation is a great choice for most skin types but oily and combination types will need a primer. It's also ideal for on-the-go touch ups and for travelling.
