Packaging

The product come in a black plastic tube. You have to twist it up like a lipstick to use the foundation stick. I find the Bobbi Brown Foundation Stick very convenient for touch ups. Also one more plus point is that it is so portable.

My Experience

A few years back some of my eyeshadows shattered while travelling. Must have happened on the air plane, I assume. I opened them after I reached home and was dejected. This incident sent me on a quest to find cream products for my entire face. Only powder product I wanted to carry was a setting powder. This is how I found the Bobbi Brown Foundation Stick.

It has a buildable coverage that can go from very light to full, depending on how much you apply. Using a brush will give you sheer coverage. Using directly from the tube gives you more coverage. I use it when ever I want a quick natural makeup look. Almost always I set this foundation with whatever setting powder I am using at that time.

I use this as a concealer too, for my under eye area. It looks natural, like skin. I did not find this heavy or cakey. I use the shade N-052 Natural which is a good match to the older shade Natural 4. For reference I am NC37-40 in MAC and 40 Beige in Chanel.
