If you haven’t already noticed, stick foundations are making a big comeback (remember when they were huge wayyyy back when?). But this time ‘round, they’re a whole lot better. Thanks to years of technological advancements, stick foundations are no longer synonymous with ‘caked-on foundation’, ‘thick layers’ or a ‘mask-like finish’. Instead, they can leave you with that flawless, natural result you’re after.And on top of that, a stick foundation can actually do a bit more than just foundation-ing. Especially if you have the Revlon PhotoReady Insta-Fix™ Makeup hiding conveniently in the side pocket of your handbag… Here are three ways to make the most of your stick foundation:
#1: Conceal
The convenient tube shape of the stick means you can use it to target specific flaws or imperfections with ease – without getting your fingers dirty! And because you can spot-conceal so easily, it makes on-the-go touch-ups a breeze.
#2: Cover
Back in the day, stick foundations were often too heavy for all-over coverage, but not anymore. The formulation of this Revlon newbie actually offers light-to-medium coverage, so your complexion will look nothing short of even, natural and beautiful. Plus, it also contains super-refined pigments and light-filtering technology to give you #nofilter skin. The lightweight, non-dragging formulation of the Revlon PhotoReady Insta-Fix™ Makeup also ensures you won’t pull your skin when applying, and the bonus? It also features SPF 20.
#3: Contour
Oh yes, contour! A stick foundation is actually a brilliant tool to use when contouring, as it gives you the control you need to create those shadows and highlights. And the nourishing formula of the Revlon PhotoReady Insta-Fix™ will ensure those lines blend and blur easily, leaving you with a gorgeous, natural finish. So how do you use your PhotoReady InstaFix™ tubes to contour? First, pick a colour that’s one or two shades darker than your skin tone, and another that’s one or two shades lighter. Using your dark colour, lightly ‘draw’ lines below your cheekbones, on the sides of the bridge of your nose, along your jawline and around your hairline. Then, take your lighter colour, and, using the same pressure and technique, apply the concealer to your cheekbones, the bridge of your nose, the middle of your chin, and in between your brows. You can also apply a bit under your brow bones and the inner corners of your eyes. Now, grab a loose brush and blend the lines until they fade away and you’re left with subtle contouring.

And beyond all of this, let’s not forget that the small packaging means that it’ll sit unobtrusively in your bag (with zero spillage, too). Do you use stick foundation? How many ways do you use your stick foundation?
