STICK
CREAM
A heavier base, cream is renowned for providing good
coverage and is the number-one choice for makeup
artists (it must be doing something right!). Due to its
thick texture, which provides a creamy and fl awless
fi nish, it’s great to wear on a night out.
There are many specialised versions on the market
for diff erent skin types, including oil-based and 24-
hour long-wearing coverage. It works great on dry
skin, however it’s best to avoid cream if you have oily
skin – no one has time for high-shine!
Cream foundation usually comes in a compact
case and can be applied with a sponge.

A duo gem, stick foundation can also be used as a
concealer. The coverage tends to be heavier, making stick
foundations perfect for covering up those niggling blemishes
and imperfections! As well as wearing the hero cape for bad
skin, the heavier coverage can also cover up scars, redness
and dark under-eye circles. Bonus!
Stick foundation is usually small and portable, meaning no
risk of a messy purse. Because of the heavier consistency,
stick foundations may not be suitable for everyday use if
you’re prone to blemishes.
This formula is best for normal to oily skin. However if you
have dry skin, make sure to apply a bit of moisturiser fi rst to
avoid that ‘cakey’ look.
