The Best Foundation Sticks to Use When You're Too Tired to Function
Between work, travel, and Netflix binges, the last thing we want to do (or have time for) is applying a full face of makeup when we’re feeling fatigued. Luckily, the resurgence of the stick foundation has given us an easy solution to looking more alive in just minutes (and may have just bought us an extra 10 minutes in bed).
The solid formula has been given a luxurious makeover by some of our favourite brands with creamy new textures and a light-as-air cake-free finish. Not to mention they’re spill-free and travel-friendly.
So on those mornings when you’ve hit snooze, you can simply apply it on the go by swiping it on your T-zone, underneath your eyes, and on your chin and blending outward with your fingers.
