Hi all,
Getting a flawless base makeup done with minimal product and effort is every girl’s dream. Many prefer going for a single product to get the fresh face every day. Many prefer to spend minimum time for their base makeup and utilize that time for getting the contouring and other things done. If you belong to these groups, stick foundations can be your absolute saviors. If you have just 5 minutes to get ready for office or a party, a stick makeup will be enough to hide the tiredness and blemishes. Stick foundations have creamy texture that blends on the skin like a dream. They often act as a concealer and foundation at the same time. Due to their excellent coverage and staying power, makeup artists love using the foundation sticks on the models, actress and brides. If you want to know about some great stick foundations available, keep reading the post.
