Today I want to talk about an unsung beauty hero: stick foundation.

When's the last time you used one of these? Or maybe you've never even crossed paths with any. It wouldn't be unlikely. Foundation sticks haven't been the popular foundation choice for a while, but I think they deserve some time in the spotlight. 

Foundation sticks are easily blendable, simple to apply and high coverage. The foundation is a thicker cream which makes it easier to head on over to clown academy when applying. However, with the right blending brush (or natural's tool like your hands), stick foundations are super fast and handy to have around. Occasionally I don't get the even coverage I want with a liquid foundation, but a cream foundation is less streaky and still moisturizing. During the summer months, a thicker foundation can be a bit stuffy on your skin, so this is definitely one to keep on your shopping list for fall. 

Keep in mind that these make excellent travel buddies! They're cream, not liquids which make them carry-on friendly for airplanes.
