Multi-Use Foundation Stick: Maybelline New York Superstay Multi-Use Foundation Stick

This product comes with a matte foundation on one end and a mini sponge on the other for blending. A huge benefit to stick foundation is that you can use it in multiple ways — buy a slightly darker shade to contour with, one to highlight or a shade that matches your skin tone to conceal with.

Oil-Controlling Foundation Stick: Maybelline New York Fit Me Shine-Free + Balance Stick

This gel foundation stick feels lightweight and breathable on the skin while still providing medium coverage. It has a matte finish with a powder core in the middle to keep your skin from getting shiny midday, making it the perfect pick for oily complexions.

Foundation Stick for Acne-Prone Skin: Milani Conceal + Perfect Foundation Stick

If you’re a full-coverage foundation lover through and through, this is the ideal stick for you. It’s matte, transfer-resistant for up to 12 hours and contains bamboo powder to absorb excess oil. It’s buildable too, so you can apply a little extra over redness or breakouts.

Hydrating Foundation Stick: ULTA Moisturizing Foundation Stick

Blur the look of pores with this medium-coverage stick that contains a translucent gelling polymer and a soft powder finish. The added touch of hyaluronic acid moisturizes and helps the formula glide on easily.
