Stick foundations are essentially cream foundations in a handy twist-up format for a targeted application. They are ideal for building and blending out your look, concealing blemishes and uneven skin tone, and give you a full-coverage finish. Pressed powder foundations are made up of pigments and minerals and offer lightweight wear that’s ideal for warmer weather and those with oily skin. They require a makeup brush for application and give you more of a light-to-medium coverage finish.
