Best Stick Foundation

 Always on the quest to discover the next best foundation. I came across the new Hourglass Vanish Seamless Finish Foundation Stick.

Let me say I've never been a fan of stick foundation. They usually don't blend well on my skin. They are cakey and make my skin look like a grease ball after a few hours. Because of this reason I was a little hesitant to try it. It's $46 at Sephora. It's not an inexpensive product to try out. I went to Sephora and swatches it on my hand. It glides smoothly and has no greasy feel. Color matching was a little difficult. My shades looked too yellow for my skin. After a few minutes. I found my shade.

Let me just say I love this product. It makes foundation really fast to apply. Builds easily and blends well.  It minimizes the look of pores and incredibly leaves a powder like finish.  This product does not crease even though it feels emollient to the touch. Either way I have combination skin so I set it with my Laura Mercier loose powder, but honestly my skin does not feel tacky at all.  It is definitely a full coverage foundation that blends or vanishes into the skin.

Some people gripe about the fact that there is only .25 oz of product versus 1 oz of product in a liquid foundation. In reality you use a lot less of this product to achieve a full coverage face.

If you love stick foundation this is for you. If you think fluid foundations are to messy, too hard to apply or take to long this is for you.

In conclusion this is a great foundation. I recommend you go to a store and swatch it to find your correct shade.  There are a ton of shades so it might take a while.

This is a great buy. Highly recommended. www.sephora.com
