Recommendations for a Foundation Stick

AngelPuppy1 — Wed, 16 Jan 2019 11:58:56 GMT

I would like to try a foundation stick. I need one that has no fragrance and that has good coverage and not drying. I have mature skin so need something that hopefully won't accentuate fine lines. I don't think I want a totally matte finish --- as I don't want to look really dry. I'd like a finish that looks not shiny and not matte, if there is such a thing?? Also, I'd prefer to not have to wear a powder on top if possible.

Thanks!!!!

Teinte Idole from Lancôme is the best foundation stick I ever bought, and I’ve bought plenty in my 72 years. It’s silky smooth and comes in many, many shades. I don’t have a store near me that sells Lancôme products but I called their customer service department and the person on the phone helped me choose the right foundation color. It worked!

Lancome's stick Foundation-only one in the Lancome line. Beautiful satin finish that is kind to mature faces, good coverage, MANY shades-even for my pink toned, hard to match skin. Smoother and glides on easier than Bobbi Brown's.

I'm 310C- Bisque-perfect match, even along my jawline.

Another recommendation for Lancôme. I tried Cliniques foundation stick, but it’s too drying.

Try SCA foundation stick over on HSN. Been using for 15 years. A little goes a long way. Good coverage. I also use the stick blush. Nice color. Have fun

You can try the Kristofer Buckle kit which includes the foundation stick A299073. I have not tried it, but the price is great right now to try.

I have tried the Clinique Foundation Stick, and found that I like using it as a concealer rather than all over foundation. Another foundation stick that I tried and loved is the Shiseido foundation stick. But it is very pricey, and I am trying to spend less on makeup.

If you can get your color, I am loving the Kristofer Buckle foundation stick. Very creamy, easy application, great coverage and no yellow, which is hard to find for my fair complexion. Looks natural, only better: no heavy, mask- like look or feel.

Lancome, hands down, perfect for my 72-year-old skin, and you can use it where you need it, blend it out and you get superior results that last all day.

Hourglass Vanish Seamless Foundation Stick or Makeup Forever HD Foundation Stick. Neither of these are matte. My skin is dry and I have found these to work the best for me.

I can’t imagine changing from my Bobbi Brown Stick after more than 20 yrs. The shade range is amazing and have it in my pro kit, too for that reason. The finish is smooth, flawless, lightweight and buildable. It can even be used as concealer and cream bronzer (in deeper shade).

***One thing to watch for in any foundations w/ SPF.....”flash back” in photos or selfies. BB Stick has no spf...use one underneath. It’s perfect when I do brides or girls for prom. Lots of pics!!

@AngelPuppy1

I totally agree with both @queendiva@ @momoftwo2007 and @kittyloo's Kristofer Buckle recommendation. The stick foundation is fabulous. I've been using this since his debut. I find the finish to be an extremely natural, very skin like with an ever so slight satiny healthy look, ie not matte. Very easy application which I personally finish off with a beauty blender sponge. A brush works well too or fingers if that's your preference. If you view the video of the kit, his 70 ++ year old Mom is a featured model. Her fab before and after pics say it all and more. Do look. A299073.

I am in my mid 60's and have friends and family in the same age arena, plus and minus, who use and love KB's foundation and other products. I personally use his medium neutral shade as have light to light-medium coloring. I've used his medium cool shade successfully too. I'd recently gifted kits and the recipients were thrilled. There is a single available in light warm which has a slight yellow undertone. I know his inventory is dwindling, the prices are extremely attractive now as he will no longer be on the Q. The additional items in the kit are a great of great value and quality too. Love his lipstick! You can make future purchases on his dot com site.

Just an fyi. I get the same results, ease of application and gorgeous skin like finish with Eve Pearl's 60/40 Dual Finish Compact Foundation. Identical on me. I know you've inquired about a stick configuration but wanted to share this with you too as both KB and EP fit the parameters you stated in your OP.

@rochelleS: Yes to Eve Pearl, too.

My favorite items of hers are the dual salmon concealer, triple blush, highly pigmented shadows and her brushes.

@queendiva

Have you tried Eve's Face Therapy Foundation in the black airless pot? Whoa! An absolutely awesome full coverage treat! I seriously love this for those days I want more, yet I've both sheered it down and mixed it with my moisturizer with A+ results. All giving a beautiful natural and healthy looking finish. No creeping into fine lines either. T♡tally yummy! A little goes a long way. (Same to be said about Kristofer's foundation. Use a light hand with both for perfect results) Haven't tried Eve's eyeshadow yet but use most everything else of hers. I just ordered KB's eyeshadow pallette last week. Some great reviews.

Another vote for Hourglass Vanish. It is perfection.

I picked up the Kristofer Buckle kit with the triplicity stick and I can say I’m impressed with the stick. It’s more of a satin matte finish vs a dewier finish,it’s lasted all day and I really did not need a primer and it did blur pores and fine lines. I prefer it to teint idole and Bobbi Brown’s sticks, although I may prefer the more hydrating BB if I get dry this winter, or if I travel up north.

Thanks for the thread @AngelPuppy1. Like yourself I was looking for a stick foundation. I purchased yesterday the Teint Idole from Lancome and it is just perfect. Does not stick in pores and the very fair shade 110 IvoireP matched perfectly..

Fressa — Thu, 17 Jan 2019 16:52:53 GMT

Bobbi Brown foundation stick. I won't use anything else. I'm in your same age range and this product works for me. It looks like my skin but better. It lasts, doesn't run, cake, etc. Hope you have the same results as I do.

Re: Recommendations for a Foundation Stick

I tried to get the Kristopher Buckel kit on the Q which it is my understanding he will no longer be here? -- but there were no shades left in the foundation stick that I could use --- and it was such a great price! Dang it!!!

Those who use the Lancome or the Bobbi Brown one --- do you have to use any type of powder over it? I am trying to get away from using much powder because it seems to accentuate lines and makes my skin look dryer. However, I cannot stand my skin to look shiny. And when I use most foundations, if I don't use some type of powder, the foundation does not last and rubs off.

Thanks all for the posts and recommendations!
