Between all the liquid and powder formulas out there, it's easy to forget that foundation is also available in stick form. We like this option because it can actually be used for contouring and concealing, too, and multi-use products are always worthy of a place in the makeup bag. For medium- to full-coverage in a flash, just draw directly on your face with these options, then blend out with a sponge or brush for flawless skin. Bonus: The solid design means it won't contribute to your liquid count when traveling, so shop our favorite foundation sticks now.
Hourglass Vanish Seamless Finish Foundation Stick
Some products are just worth the splurge, and this is one of them! Hourglass's foundation stick has a buildable formula that gives you sheer to full coverage, and it creates a flawless, natural look that doesn't feel heavy on your skin.
This wallet-friendly foundation stick goes on creamy, but dries with a lightweight powder finish. While it works for all skin types, the mattifying formula has an anti-shine core that dissolves excess oil so your makeup stays fresh all day.
Blending is easy with this creamy foundation stick from Clinique. The oil-free formula offers sheer to moderate coverage, and it's a must-try if you're already a fan of the brand's chubby stick lip balms.
Have dry or sensitive skin? You'll love this foundation from BareMinerals! Not only does it use clean, natural ingredients, but a clinical study showed a 146% improvement in skin's hydration levels after 2 weeks of use. Even better: It has SPF25 built in.
Bobbi Brown packs tons of benefits in this foundation stick! The medium- to full-coverage formula has Smart Technology that actually adapts to your skin's needs by adding moisture and controlling oil. It's also water-, sweat-, and humidity-resistant, and comes in an impressive 40-plus shade options.
If you're a fan of Lancôme's Teint Idole liquid foundation, you can also get it in stick form! This easy-to-apply version has a powder-creme texture that delivers full coverage with a matte finish. Oily-skin types will love that the formula has porous polymers that absorb excess oil.
This foundation stick from Flesh comes in an ultra-portable size that's easy to stash in a purse, so you can touch up your makeup from anywhere! We also love its inclusive shade range, and that it rings up for less than $20.
With Make Up For Ever's stick foundation, you can finally get full coverage without the cakey look. It's made for all skin types (but works best with dry to normal), and has a satin, natural-looking finish.
When you need coverage that can last from sun-up to sun-down, the YSL All Hours foundation stick offers 24 hours of wear. The velvet matte formula has a flawless finish, and it even has shine-control properties to keep your makeup on point.
Tom Ford's ultra luxe foundation stick has a hydrating formula that's ideal for dry skin. You'll like how creamy and blendable the formula is, and that it gives skin a glowy, airbrushed look.
