I used it for years and liked it. It lasted until I took it off and you could control the coverage by using the stick directly on your face or a foundation brush for a lighter application. It worked for me.

I used to like it too, until I discovered Lancome's Teint Idole stick foundation which is a better color, goes on like velvet, and lasts much longer looking very nice for many hours. I find when a foundation disappoints many times too much is applied.

With a stick formula I swipe it on lightly in the areas needing the most coverage, then blend with fingers lightly, and finish with a good foundation brush that smooths and blends it all in, again with a light touch or you will scrub most of it off or actually highlight pores.

I learned at a cosmetic counter how to do this - I had always put on too much and blended it too heavily: disaster!

She used feather light strokes and could add and blend  more product at the end to areas needing it so that the whole look was very natural and smooth, beautiful.

I also like L'Oreal, BM Complexion Rescue, and a Revlon one that is matte. Applied carefully they can all look great.

This is a staple in my foundation wardrobe - yes, I have lots of them.  I like to use it as more of a touch up foundation for problem areas.  For dry skin, I really like to use the Serum Foundation paired with the foundation stick for a bit more coverage where needed.

I used them years ago and this thread reminds me of how much I liked them!  Smooth as silk and made my skin flawless! My dry skin loved it!

My problem, currently, is to use up some of the great foundations that I have in my drawer!
