The Becca stick foundation gives brilliant full coverage and a really nice finish, however I find that the formula is a little hard to blend well - it's not a very creamy texture. I also don't like the smell much - I'm not sure what it is but it's almost a metallic sort of scent that adheres to your skin when you apply this foundation and you can get whiffs of it through the day. The product itself is great - it works well and provides you with great coverage - I just feel that it needs to be easier to blend and a bit creamier with a nicer scent/no scent at all to make it a 100% perfect foundation. It also tends to rub off quite easily - so if you're wearing white, I wouldn't recommend using this foundation. It's almost as if the foundation sits on your skin without being properly blended or absorbed to some degree....really strange. I'd definitely repurchase though because I do still like it and it comes in a huge range of shades which means I can find my perfect match. Plus I use a few well honed tricks to make sure that it has staying power & doesn't dry out on my skin before I can blend to perfection. I'd recommend trying a sample if you can or testing in store to make a decision on this one. One benefit I'll have to say is that it's compact and easy to carry in your bag for touch ups - although you'll need a good foundation brush and perhaps a spritz of rose water or similar to make blending easy.

Tips: I tend to spritz some MAC Fix plus or rose water onto my skin and then onto my foundation brush to blend this foundation in easily. Then powder up and set it with the Becca powder and voila! The perfect finish!
So I brought this off strawberrynet for $13 down from $70, it was just a blind buy as it was so heavily disconted and looked like they had a decent amount of shades. I got the colour cashew, and the shade was slightly too yellow toned for me but still wearable. The consistancy is very thick, which is normal as it is a creme but still not really my cup of tea as a full all over foundation, I found it also to be med/full coverage but heavy. I have now gone back and ordered 2 other so I can use them as my contouring range, as I think these would be perfect with a diffrent foundation as the base. So summing up.. I like the coverage but for me its to chalky. The design is really neat with a wee metal top stamped becca, it really is well made.
Tips: I would use these as a contour range and use a diffrent lighter foundation as the base.
