Dream Matte Foundation Stick

A foundation stick is a solid form of foundation that offers a full coverage finish with a more compact, portable format. Unlike liquid foundation, which can be applied with a brush or sponge, a foundation stick is often applied directly to the face, making it quick and easy to use for touch-ups or on-the-go.

To choose the right foundation stick, swatch a few shades along your jawline and blend them in. The shade that seamlessly disappears into your skin is your best match. Remember to match your foundation to your neck and shoulder for a natural finish, and avoid shades too light to avoid a mismatch.

On well-prepped skin, apply the foundation stick directly to areas that need coverage, such as the cheeks, forehead, nose, and chin. Blend with your fingers, a makeup sponge, or a brush to achieve a smooth, even finish. For more coverage, layer the product and blend it out for a flawless look.

To ensure long-lasting wear, prep your skin with a moisturizer and primer before applying the foundation stick. Set your makeup with a finishing powder, and use a setting spray to lock everything in place. Touch up as needed during the day with a light layer of foundation stick for quick coverage.

To avoid cakiness, use a light hand when applying the foundation stick, especially in areas with more texture or fine lines. Blend well and layer gradually. For a dewy finish, use a setting spray to finish your makeup.
