The new Patrick Ta when you can/want to.

[@MyCleverHandle]

Wow girl - when you color match foundations for swatching, you are dead on! This looks really good on you. Stick foundations and concealers are too heavy for my 64 year old rosacea- ravaged skin - but I sure like seeing what you can do! Thank you for this video!

[@goodshepard00]

You are beautiful without or with makeup. In regard to your review, the Bobby Brown stick foundation looks pretty on you. The color-match is spot on. After application, I liked the finger application side. I agree with you that the more the foundation melted with your skin, the better it looked for you. The blush color is terrific on you. I also very much like your eyeshadow look. Best wishes to you and Ziva!

[@thesisf.padilla730]

BB stick has been my fav during years. Dry skin and 53 years old, still this stick is fabulous. I like to try hundreds of foundations and I return to BB stick again and again

[@susanr4663]

Ziva I was worried I wouldn't see your cuteness. Thanks for showing up. Great review.

[@quendolync6902]

This was the first stick foundation I ever tried and I fell in love. Out of all the other ones I’ve tried nothing has looked as skin like as this one. It deserves all the great reviews. I have dry skin as well and love that it doesn’t irritate or accentuate any skin issues I may have.

[@heatheru3089]

You look great in this foundation and those colors! ❤

[@EllenTomica-b3l]

Thank you! I’ve never tried a stick foundation but this one has me intrigued

[@kaylynnhuddleston5533]

LOVE you are reviewing this.!!!! Really like it!!!!

[@greenbeauties]

Can you review the new Huda beauty easy blur foundation please

[@joylewullis9538]

PS I totally understand the nosebleed Prices And having to wait. I Really appreciate all you do and realize you spend a lot of money. Thanks so much!

[@LVLady]

I'm kind of afraid of the "yellow" part of the stick so think I'll hold off on this one. Definitely getting the MAC 50% off one on the 13th. Would appreciate it if you could try out the Illumiance Revlon Serum Tint.

[@lorraineelliott1546]

Ooh I might try this Shelly. Another great review xx

[@lety4809]

Please try the new Dior stick foundation!

[@joylewullis9538]

Wow! You look fabulous! That was a surprise to me also. I don’t know why, but I always think a stick foundation is going to make you dry. Now I’m contemplating this. I’m trying to find another favorite since I can’t find my shade in the Shiseido Foundation I’ve been using. Thanks for a great video! Hi Ziva. ❤

[@sfkat]

I need to get a stick foundation, There is this one, and the Lancome that is supposed to be good, and they just released a foundation stick by Christian Dior that is supposed to be just splendid! Maybe consider reviewing this new one, the Dior Forever Skin Perfect Stick.

[@SarahMcAshan]

This product has been a standby for me for many years. I appreciate that the brand expanded the shade range, too. I used to use Warm Ivory, which was a good match, but now they have Warm Porcelain, which is a perfect match! It performs well in the heat, as I think you've discovered--it gets better over wear time. I always keep one of these on hand in case I need to be photographed; it photographs well.

[@michellemckinneybarnett7230]

Thanks! I love your reviews.

[@susanmcf1]

Pretty foundation.

[@Highlycaffeinated788]

Love the sponge👻

[@aliciapaul132]

What a nice surprise! Stick foundations are so tough, glad you found this one! Off topic, but would you be able to recommend a bronzer/contour in one type product? I have a very similar skin tone and undertone as you and am needing something for my engagement photos. Your recommendation are always the best!

[@goow]

My favorite ever is the Balm Desert bronzer (I use it for both bronzer and contour). I like a red-undertone bronzer the best (more so than a warmer orangey/golden).

[@donnagill9956]

That foundation looks amazing on you! Ziva is so beautiful!! Thanks for sharing about this foundation, I love a good stick foundation!!

[@RhondaMcLennan-s2g]

Hi Shelly , loving your hairstyle , you go girl ❤️

[@judygreene7462]

Try putting eyeshadow primer on your nose and chin and see if that helps keep you r makeup on ❤

[@lisapetrison-beautyreviews]

That is one of my favorite makeup products of all and it does look lovely on you.

[@cf8595]

lol why, whenever you do the shade comparison, is the shade you're testing always looking like the best match to my eye... power of suggestion!

[@laurabondurant5096]

RMS bronzers are fantastic

[@aliciaohara8794]

Shelly, will you be trying the new Dior foundation stick? I need your review!❤

[@pattishugs7458]

So pretty!

[@bjornolson21]

Please try the new Bobbi brown foundation 😩

[@nojones-d6s]

I just ordered it because I always seem to love the ones you love and vice a versa. I didn't like basma either lol

[@ambergerhelper7852]

The Balm Desert is too dark for me. I was able to find a blush from Canmake- it looks like a more subtle version. I really like it. ☺️ Know what would be really cool with your eyeballz headband? Some purple in your hair. 🤓 I’m a stinker, I know. 🥸 Edit: We all need to borrow your backyard for listening to the rain! ☔️😍🌧️

[@goow]

I tried last night to see if my hair would take semi-permanent dye without lightening... because I don't want the upkeep of bleach anymore.... it would not 😭 but I have grown tired of looking so normal. 🤣

[@raafiaahmad4454]

Thanks Shelly for the video, I never had luck with this stick foundation from Bobbi Brown or any other variant especially with the shade range. I’m light medium neutral olive and all of the shades turn yellow/peach on me, inspite of being colour matched at store (lights there, were horrible). I bought it nevertheless but had to give it away (awful return processes in Europe) after trying at home in natural light, but the product was bomb.Anyway I’m waiting to watch your review on the new Skin weightless liquid foundation ( buy at your convenience).🤞🏼 maybe I might have better luck this time. Have a nice day ahead and take care you too.❤❤❤

[@traceyleeherrera5247]

may i request the new Huda Beauty easy bake? 💜

[@nurtegan1215]

I've had this foundation in N36 for a while now and like it quite a bit. The discontinued Skin foundation was my absolute favorite: it worked on my extra dry skin beautifully when dozens (literally) other foundations didn't. I want to try their serum foundation next. Bobbi Brown products tend to work on me, which I kinda hate given their price tag.

[@goow]

LOL I know exactly how you feel :) My face loves it and my wallet is sobbing in the corner!

[@dorothyevans3864]

It looked fantastic outside - really great on texture and pores. I expected it to be heavier given how emollient it appeared going on.❤

[@samanthajoan]

Could you do the CoverGirl Outlast Ultimate Finish compact foundation? It's a new formulation of a classic from the '80s/90s. Apparently it wasn't particularly good back then but there might be an improvement? Any chance you could check it out?

[@ChrissieSM]

I cannot find this stick foundation on the BB website but found the new skin foundation.

[@goow]

I need to grab the new one too!

[@lisabrock960]

Very pretty

[@happymusics]

I used to use this foundation for a few years but for unforgotten reason, I moved on to Estee Lauder's Double Wear Light. But that was discontinued and now I use Nars; per your top 10 foundation reviews.

[@goow]

The Nars is so good! Still tied as my favorite ever :)

[@krista436]

The Laura Geller bronzer in fair has pink and some sheen to it. The RMS bronzers are supposed to have pink/red undertones and they have sheen, too. I haven’t bought one yet but I will!

[@samantacalejman8936]

can you review the nikol johnson beauty line or the Seint Makeup line please ?

[@goow]

Added to my list!

[@clairebougie3114]

The new Dior foundation stick?

[@pixi78]

I’m right at the very beginning but so curious. I really would love to find a stick foundation for travel.

[@kimbaker4352]

Come on now $60 bucks for a stick foundation is ridiculous, I saw this in the Ipsy store for $10.99. How do these companies justify their prices.

[@Sharon-Australia]

Shelly was it the "to cool for school" a bronzer you bought a while ago I can't find the video to have a look.

[@goow]

OOOH yes what the heck happened to that one? Where did I put it??!!! I haven't seen it in a long time 🤣

[@kaylynnhuddleston5533]

YSL stick?

[@ConsterL]

Which primer worked the best?

[@goow]

They looked identical to me at the end!

[@marytaylor8482]

Can anyone tell me is this stick foundation self setting or does it stay tacky?

[@goow]

I don't set this foundation with powder, as it sets fine without it for me.

[@queenbeer1485]

Hi Shelly! You're looking good girlfriend! 😊

[@emicb999]

I don’t know why but stick foundations don’t look good on my flakey skin🥺
