Becca Stick Foundation Review

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.

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.
