STICK FOUNDATIONS! Ranking The Most Requested!

Lancome's Stick Foundation has been around for years because its so good and if you have mature skin - fantastic ! Not greasy , shiny or matte.

[@anajarquin3505]

Yes, I love this one! I got the TF at 50% off and it’s very good, but in my opinion nothing beats the Lancome stick foundation.

Ugh! My all time favorite was by Wander Beauty and it was promptly discontinued. My next favorite is Hourglass…though I haven’t tried ANY on this list 😮😮😮😮

[@HeatherHasGame]

Are the ilia or CT or Merit or Tom ford sticks blurring at all? I think you said the CT one isn’t actually blurring, but just doesn’t make things look worse if I understood you correctly… Usually I will only like a foundation if it blurs pores. Normally I use the Givenchy Prisme Libre skin caring glow foundation.. or the chantecaille future skin foundation.. which both have really good blurring properties to them.. I want to try a stick foundation or a cream, but #1 requirement is the blurred/filtered effect.. I tried to use the Tom ford one last summer, but I ordered a couple of shades claiming to be olive and they were legit pink.. and then I gave up trying to find a shade at all because it was a lot of money in returns and kind of embarrassing to take back to Sephora. I don’t actually need them to be olive, as I have recently found out, I just need like a neutral-yellow undertone and the olive was helping me cancel out redness.

[@NotFitforPrintBeauty]

I totally hear you. There’s this inherent shame in the Sephora return. And that shouldn’t be the case. Are these blurring? Well. The Tom ford a bit but more because it’s more coverage than the formula.

[@MakeupAgain561]

Wow! You are psychic! I just said yesterday that I want to get my first stick foundation now! I think I want the Ilia one. Holy moly their shade range is PHENOMENAL! This video is saved, thank you Rebecca❤ You looked lovely.

[@NotFitforPrintBeauty]

Oh my goodness I hope that you love it if you try it. I am so excited that this video came at the right time

[@shmoopiedo]

What’s happening with the TF stick foundation? Is it being discontinued or reformulated?? So strange

[@NotFitforPrintBeauty]

It’s like that so often with his other products such as the brow gel. I assume it’s getting discontinued because it goes on sale and then every store has three shades and then, the next week, it’s not on sale and all the stores are restocked. And it feels like every time I get a definite answer is actually really just a rumor.

[@jenna-lynroman4127]

I bought the Chantecaille Face Stick to try as a concealer. It seems to work well for that for me. However, I'm not sure if this product is being reformulated or is disappearing. The reviews when I bought it mentioned the small size for the money, which is probably correct if one is using it to cover their entire face. As an unrelated side note, I have been using (and hoarding...I bought 5) of the Chanel Les Beiges Primers. I'm almost done with my second one in the Light Copper shade. Basically, I've been wearing it alone with just a bit of powder on top and no foundation. It counteracts the slight redness on my nose. I'm wondering if at some point you could do a video on products that work great, but perhaps not in the way the brand who made them might have intended.

[@NotFitforPrintBeauty]

Oh my goodness oh my goodness. I am looking at my notes right now and I actually have that sketched out from a few months ago. Seriously I just didn’t know what to call it. I have it in my notes like Makeup worn other ways, or make up worn has not intended. So you actually hit on one that I’m kind of trying to develop! Great minds think alike

[@lisaolivia8300]

What's your views on the makeup forever and the hourglass stick foundation?

[@NotFitforPrintBeauty]

I actually like both very much and now, of course, Long since this video was made, we have the new Dior stick which I actually like the best of all

[@pepeleru]

i love the Merit one, just hate that the stick falls out of the tube SO easily, great and easy to use in summer - super sensitive skin and no breakouts. Liked the Ilia one but more for winter, was nice and hydrating. Tried CT and it had zero coverage on for me and super slick, feels more like a serum or moisturizer in a stick form

[@NotFitforPrintBeauty]

I definitely agree all around. I always have to remove the cap of my merit stick so carefully in the thing still pops out of it.

[@hbarlaam]

The CT doesn't look as glowy on you as you mentioned which is so interesting! Wayne Goss reviewed it and also liked it, but it looked VERY glowy on him--but looked wonderful once he powdered the t zone. I may try it after my Fenty is done!

[@NotFitforPrintBeauty]

If you like the Fenty then you are more predisposed to liking the Charlotte. For some reason it’s not glowing on me but in any way, it definitely could stand some powder

[@rchac001]

What’s your thoughts on Huda Beauty #FauxFilter Skin Finish Foundation Stick and where it lines up?

[@NotFitforPrintBeauty]

Not a fan of her products. I feel the others on the market are much better

[@lisab.1595]

Stick foundations have actually been around since 1948 when Max Factor launched Pan-Stik. I can remember Merle Norman also having a stick foundation, and that's because I've been around since dinosaurs roamed the plains. Back in the day they were around $1.50.....lol. I love Tom Ford products but haven't tried his stick foundation, but now that you speak highly of it, I will give it a try. There are just too many on the market now, and it's totally confusing.

[@NotFitforPrintBeauty]

Max factor was and will always be the king

[@notes_to_elle8664]

We still have Max Factor in the UK. I grew up in the States and remember buying "pan" products and totally failing to figure them out because it was in the days long before KZbin. 😅 Alas, I can't find anything pan-related in the line anymore, and I feel they're missing a trick.

[@pettypossum724]

I use the MUFE foundation stick and find the finish pretty natural. The thing is, MUFE has a habit of reformulating and renaming shades. I have no idea if they are doing the same with the stick 😢

[@NotFitforPrintBeauty]

Oh that is so true. That is so so true

[@themellowmelodies.]

Also I cannot find Tom Ford anywhere in Canada (the stick foundation) unfortunately

[@NotFitforPrintBeauty]

I think it just might be getting discontinued but then lately it’s been resupplied in the US. I truly have no idea

[@auburnstar27]

With all the talk about CT lately, do you have any insights on the CT Summer sale yet? She normally does a sale in July & hopefully she does it again.

[@NotFitforPrintBeauty]

GREAT question. I haven't heard anything yet...I will keep my ear to the ground.

[@sheilabrooks3436]

TF is the gold standard for sure. It never fails me. Do you remember (you always do!) the Max Factor Pan Stick? I’d use that when I had a breakout, and it made them seem to disappear!

[@thecrystallibrarian]

Max Factor's Pan Stick is the first stick foundation I remember as a child ... my mom used it. I looked it up and it is still manufactured, however it looks like it has gone through a reformulation. I wonder how the original 70s/80s version compares to these modern versions

[@NotFitforPrintBeauty]

Let me just tell you, Max factor … Just set the stage for everything we wear today. The pan stick is a blast from the past

[@kimmcclung1374]

Thank you so much! How do you feel about the Bobbi Brown foundation stick?

[@NotFitforPrintBeauty]

Iconic classic! That and Estee Lauder.

[@Christina-CA]

I got the Bobbi Brown stick foundation on sale at the Cosmetics Company Store for $30 and it is the only stick foundation I have so can't compare it to others but I was pleasantly surprised how smooth, blendable and natural it looked. Definitely recommend!

[@NotFitforPrintBeauty]

That is a really good stick foundation and you got it at a great price

[@Georgia-ne4dq]

I love that Ilia stick! It's lovely on its own or a few swipes over a skin tint to add a bit more coverage. I got an incredible shade match as well so it looks seamless. One of my fave foundations ever!

[@NotFitforPrintBeauty]

It’s really a good one and, for some reason, it didn’t get a whole lot of attention when it was released.

[@ellyhigginbottom6852]

Has anyone tried the MILK foundation stick?

[@NotFitforPrintBeauty]

I did once and I remember not hating it but I wasn’t like crazy impressed with it either. It’s been a while but I don’t remember stepping away with an impression in either direction if that makes sense

[@YeliMe]

Wowww I'm impressed 😮. You hit the nail on head with your commentary on these sticks!! For me the best stick foundation that has worked reallllllly well for my dry, large pores, mature, hyperpigmentation skin is hourglass stick 👌 😀

[@NotFitforPrintBeauty]

I do enjoy the hourglass stick, too!!!

[@bobbi5523]

So.... I have a love/hate relationship with Lancome which made one of the better sticks back when... works well. In Miami's humidity tends to get on the cell phone and no I don't use make up sprays but if I did it probably wouldn't. Bought several over the years, before sticks were popular. It's a great product. And, my favorite is MILK tho I use it more as a touch up in that it actually covers well under the eyes, across the impt spots and leaves a glow w/o the "dolphin" shiny look that's been populare. It just "lightens" covers imperfections incredibly for ppl of all ages. I may check out the Merit next time I'm in Sephora. ps covered the part about the stick that's advertised to give you glow, giving you glow but ppl complain it glows too much :) loved it

[@NotFitforPrintBeauty]

Oh you have the Miami Heat contend with. I don’t mean the basketball team. Ha ha

[@lisapetrison-beautyreviews]

I feel like the Ilia is a slightly inferior copy of the Bobbi Brown stick (which I really love) in terms of performance, and the Ilia one also irritated my skin. I didn't really like the Tom Ford one too much, personally. I like the Merit one a lot but do not consider it to be a foundation stick since I never would use it over my whole face - it is really just a concealer stick, and they REALLY need more shades in that one. I do like the Westman Atelier one quite a bit, but it also needs more shades and I think the BB one is better.

[@NotFitforPrintBeauty]

Everyone likes the BB one don’t they? You know I’m so hit and miss with Westman

[@marionallen2222]

I’m so bummed I missed out on the Tom Ford stick is it still available??!😮 I am LOVING the Shishedo Self Recreshing foundation for summer !

[@elizabethbarrow3801]

I'm always on the lookout for good sticks. They're just so easy. My favorite is Tom Ford's, and I hope it's not being discontinued. I still have quite a bit of it left, and I'll be sad when I use it up and can't replace it. I do like the Ilia stick. For once, the shade match is spot-on. Basma's is a pretty good shade match, but the formula can be temperamental. Sometimes, it cakes up in certain areas. The Fenty stick is temperamental as well, collecting in pores on occasion. Ogee makes a good one that provides coverage, but the shade range is pathetic. The lightest shade is a bit too dark on my skin, and I'm not the palest person on the planet. I like Huda's stick, which I mostly wear in the summer because it's slightly drying. I shall pass on the new Charlotte Tilbury stick. Rebecca, you are the only KZbin reviewer who looks good to me wearing it. It's way too glowy for my taste. It actually looked nasty on a few of the people who put it on. I wouldn't want to have to apply as much powder as it would take to make it look decent. There's a new stick out by Yensa that I'm curious about. It's alleged to have good coverage, yet the shade range stinks. I've seen only one review of it so far. Great video, Rebecca! Oh--I tried to join the Facebook group but was rejected. I don't think I scrolled down enough to see that I needed to answer more questions. I hope I'll get another chance.

There are plenty that I never wear at home that are great for travel. But I don’t have the Ilia, so I may try that and I have to check if I kept or decluttered the Tom Ford.

Hi Rebecca, I just watched your recent review on Nars Light Reflecting Setting Spray. Oh how I truly regret buying this foundation (bought before your review). I made the mistake of buying TWO shades. It looked beautiful on camera checks at work but in person, cracking, peeling and wearing off. I was horrified. Tried with a variety of primers, sunscreens, Nars own primer etc, no luck, just consistently trash for me

Commenting on CT’s Unreal. I was shade matched today at Sephora! I was skittish about it at first but it looks really good! I let it set for a few minutes, then powdered. Great quick look for “no makeup” days. I don’t feel like it is Flawless Filter in stick form - which I’m not a fan of. Different formulation and finish. This reminds me more of her highlighter “Spotlight.” Tendency to be oily in T-zone. I’m happy!

[@NotFitforPrintBeauty]

I am in absolute complete agreement with you ❤️

[@jessabeauty917]

Watched this while applying a stick foundation. 😂 Bobbi Brown, Lancôme and Westman were ones I thought would be ranked. I like Blue Mercury’s l&a silk stick. The thing with different formula types is knowing how and when to use them. Out in Miami last week I used a stick foundation for touch ups over spf (stick). There’s no sense in stamping powder onto sweaty skin. They’re great for touch ups.

[@NotFitforPrintBeauty]

True true. Powder over sweaty skin makes for mud

I like both brands but I really love the iconic London. I think I’m gonna go with that one for your skin actually. They’re very different products though because the iconic London has so much less coverage than the Basma and is much more of a liquid

OMG! You put this video together so quickly!!! Thank you for putting this together! It sounds like you are feeling better too!! I enjoy the Basma stick foundation and it is very full coverage and long lasting! My biggest complaint is the cost. I thought this could be a replacement for TF, although there is no real replacement for the TF stick foundation! It is half the size of TF and half the cost, so it is cheaper to get the TF stick foundation. Well that is to say, if the TF is not discontinued. It is also smaller than the new Charlotte Tilbury. The TF foundation is the best!! Maybe it is not discontinued but just not being sold at Sephora. It seems Nordstroms always has it and it’s never on sale like it was at Sephora.

I always have to mix in a drop of green with my foundations to get a good match unless it’s something very, very sheer. For this reason, I don’t do stick foundations.

Hi Rebecca! Thank you for this great stick foundation ranking. Your top pick has been impossible to get here in Canada for a long while - over one year in my shade. One brand that is readily available here and that you did not mention is Westman Atelier - and I am most curious to know how it compares with the TF and your top 2 and 3. On me, the WA is less draggy than the Merit and it’s far less oily than the Basma, which settles into my pores like lava.

[@NotFitforPrintBeauty]

This is a great question. I don’t have enough experience with the WA product. I am so hit and miss with her brand. I think they charge way too much for what you get and I think the packaging is pretentious so I have played with a bit but not enough to really review it. I have yet to fully embrace her brand.

Luckily it's displayed right next to the oil/serum - I'm eyeing that too! Thank you Rebecca for noting that we'll need a moisturizer/skin prep underneath with this one. I need moisturizer in any case, so I'm thinking of trying it. Also love the idea of using this in a darker shade as concealer/contour.

[@NotFitforPrintBeauty]

Oh good, Rachel, I’m glad that you’re looking at the serum too. The combination is absolutely lovely. And you can also use the same shade that you buy for the foundation as a little extra in spots for coverage so that you don’t have to spend more until you know that you love it.

[@veronicamcminn7775]

Agreed Tom Ford is best ever. So sad ifs in flux. I did pick up an extra one when they went half off but it’s not my exact shade. It’s like one shade too dark. But I mix it. Next fav is the Huda stick. Fenty looks great for a few hours. Good errand foundation. Not even trying CT

I have worked with Charlotte in the past and it didn’t go well and I doubt I will ever work with them again. You are very entitled to your opinion and I would never delete your comment but this is wildly inappropriate and off-base. It sounds to me like we just didn’t agree on the product and therefore you assume that I am insincere or that I was kissing up to a brand.

I am very oily in the t-zone and oily all over in summer, but it's not a problem with the right powder and I'm in AC environment. I don't like full coverage or heavy foundation, so I really do like it for a natural look and an everyday work look. Also, I am very pale and I find shade 2 to be perfect. I don't have any other Fenty products but I really do like it and I will re-purchase in autumn.

[@NotFitforPrintBeauty]

I also think you would end up liking the Charlotte because you like the Fenty. So when you run out you might want to give it a try if you feel like something new

[@Christine-uf3oj]

@@NotFitforPrintBeauty Thanks! But I'm wondering how it does with sunscreen of all types, esp ones with silicone, because I'm super pale and have to load up on sunscreen. If anyone actually puts the recommended amount of sunscreen on their face and then uses the new CT stick, please let me know how it does!

[@NotFitforPrintBeauty]

@@Christine-uf3oj the only chance you have with that is if you really let that sunscreen soak into the face first I mean really let it soak in

[@MsBNoodle]

10:20 you're absolutely right. I didn't pay full attention to the LONG name of the product. It says it's sheer and glowy. Yet I overlooked that and so was one of those who was thinking "it's too sheer - it's too glowy". I just tune out the names from this brand 😂😂

[@NotFitforPrintBeauty]

The names are so LONG! How COULD anyone pay enough attention!!!

[@natashawoof]

A really comprehensive yet concise review. I just wish since many will use a stick foundation on the go that it came with some sort of brush on the end. Difficult to keep clean I suppose.

[@NotFitforPrintBeauty]

Was it Anastasia who did a brush on one of their once? No it was urban decay, wasn’t it? But it was kind of hard to clean.

I really like the TF foundation stick!! I returned the CT stick. I tried so many ways and I looked like a tin man.

[@NotFitforPrintBeauty]

The tin man is not a good look except for the tin man and I think even he is sick of it

Hi lovely Rebecca !! TF all the way ❤ I hope it does not get discontinued. I would like to try the llia for a back up 🤗

I need to find out a definitive answer on the TF stick

[@reneegrace7965]

Boooo to the CT🤢

[@NotFitforPrintBeauty]

I am so sorry that you had a bad experience with that one. It is definitely glowing. Maybe be a bit too glowing ha ha ha ha

[@MsBNoodle]

It must have been 10-15 years ago that I tried a stick foundation I seem to remember it dragged on my skin and I didn't get on with it. Glad to see things have improved since then!

[@NotFitforPrintBeauty]

It’s definitely improved but some of them do still drag and that’s, well, a drag! Ha ha

[@aakritibahl760]

Okay..will try out the CT foundation stick also 😀 love glowy products as well

[@NotFitforPrintBeauty]

If you love glowing products. You will really enjoy this one

[@candiceking7422]

How about basma?

[@debbieotoole1072]

I've not used a stick foundation in a few years now, i used to use the Huda beauty. I do think stick foundation have changed alot over the years. I've never tried the TF but everyone seems to love it. I'm definitely going to try the CT 😊

[@NotFitforPrintBeauty]

I like the Charlotte. I think it’s getting a bad reputation that it doesn’t deserve

[@Megan-mt3gq]

I love the Fenty stick foundation!!

[@NotFitforPrintBeauty]

I do too. But I don’t know if it would be a first choice if you had like a 12 hour day. But you can tell me if it’s worked for you

[@TexasLyoness]

The one I love the most is the Lancôme stick foundation. That one works best for me. ✅

[@NotFitforPrintBeauty]

It's a GREAT one

[@Aimee-Gates]

Ilia and Merrit are my go to everyday foundations!

[@NotFitforPrintBeauty]

That’s perfect because you kind of get two different types of stick foundations depending on your mood

Right?!

[@christinebianchine1187]

Thank you! I was hoping you'd do a stick foundation roundup!

💕💕💕

[@marytaylor8482]

Does the ilia set itself or stay tacky?

[@NotFitforPrintBeauty]

I have never worn any powder over it but it does well with powder also. Pretty much if you love to powder down a foundation you’ll wanna do that with this one too

[@kuklakid]

Not often. Other than TF which I still have.

[@NotFitforPrintBeauty]

The best on the market!

Is using a stick foundation as a bronzer a good idea?

Sure! I do it all the time

Notable mentions which weren't covered in your round up Rebecca, the Huda Beauty one is nice, really easy to blend and seamlessly melds into skin, though it looks like it might be getting discontinued. The Westman Atelier is amazing too - though the shades are limited, more greasy than Huda but lovely when set with powder.

[@NotFitforPrintBeauty]

Great additions! ❤️ ❤️

[@kimespe8022]

I love your chocolate cake analogy when talking about the new CT stick. The people complaining about it are people who should have read the description of what the product is. I did. And that’s exactly why I had zero interest in purchasing.

[@NotFitforPrintBeauty]

Exactly, Kim! People are complaining about it because it’s glowing. Which is an odd thing to have as a complaint for a glowing foundation. I’m not saying it’s the best thing since sliced bread. It definitely is not. But… We do have someone here who says it made them break out and I am with them on 100%. That’s definitely a negative
