Bobbi Brown Foundation Stick

Bottom line

Bobbi Brown Foundation Stick is one of the few foundation sticks we found recommended, as these can often feel cakey. Bobbi Brown's formula is an exception. Reviewers say it's easy to apply and blend, plus it travels well. It offers medium to full coverage and creates a luminous finish that anyone with oily skin probably won't love.

Performance

Wide range of shades with plenty of coverage. Reviewers say they love the convenience of Bobbi Brown Foundation Stick because it easily slips into their purse for on-the-go touch-ups. The stick can also double as a concealer. It has a creamy texture that provides medium to full coverage. Users say that the 20 available shades look natural and match skin perfectly.

Feel and smell

Creamy formula isn't best for all skin types. Bobbi Brown Foundation Stick applies easily and blends well -- "surprisingly," Paula Begoun notes. She says that the foundation remains creamy, so this formula won't offer the matte finish those with oily skin want or need. Reviewers also say the foundation can clog pores, so it isn't good for women with acne-prone skin.
