Good product but not for all skins
EireItalia (271 reviews)

This foundation stick, while a good product, isn't right for everyone. For one, if your skin is oily it will not work well on it and may not last. My skin is normal/oily and this did not do well on it. It wound up looking shiny even with powder application. If you need concealing this stick will not do the job. It's too sheer to allow any real coverage and any extra applications will wind up looking cakey and heavy. For normal/dry skin with minor flaws it might work. It's convenient and portable and comes in a wide range of shades for different skin tones. Just be wary if you have normal/oily or oily skin, it will not control oil. — 1 year, 2 months ago

Can Be Used In Place of Concealer
girlwomanbeautybrainsblog (232 reviews)

For a few years I used Bobbi Brown Foundation stick (warm ivory) as a concealer. Since I don't wear much foundation and generally use tinted moisturizer (one of them being Bobbi Brown's), I used the foundation stick in lieu of a heavier concealer. The lipstick-like tube made it handbag-friendly and easy to use. I also used it as a base for eyeshadow. The only reason I switched to a different brand is that Warm Ivory was a little too yellow for my fair skin. — 3 years, 11 months ago

Bobbi Brown Foundation Stick!
missalu98 (2 reviews)

This foundation is super easy to use! I have oily skin and it seems to stay on pretty long! But the first time I ever used this it didn't look smooth and perfect like I wanted it to, but 5 minutes later I looked in the mirror and my skin looked amazing. It was like the foundation just needed to settle for a little while. I am in love with this product! You should try it!! — 5 months ago

I don't hate it
fruitsbasketxp (8 reviews)

Pros: 1. Comes in many shades 2. Compact and easy to carry around 3. Medium coverage 4. Lasts 3 months with everyday use Cons: 1. Doesn't work for oily skin 2. Needs to be reapplied every few hours 3 if you have a lot of flaws you need another product to go with this (loose powder, concealer) — 6 months ago

Okay and over priced.
md1974 (7 reviews)

I love Bobbi Brown just this this product.. The good side is that is convenient and it covers well where you apply it. . Except I can only use it on my cheeks since I have dry skin there. I cant use it on forehead nose or chin since I get oily in those areas Its also not a concealer. So if I continue to use it I have to t pair with a concealer and setting powder since I l will look shiny during the day. Its also over priced for a product that i can only use on my cheeks. Will not repurchase this one, — 6 months, 2 weeks ago

Not great
savcloonan143 (4 reviews)

Nice even coverage but very heavy and oily. It feels like you have thick ointment on your face. — 8 months ago

Didn't Live Up to My Expectations
gypsytejas (76 reviews)

I had high hopes of using this as a quicky face fix. The color is perfect for me but I think the formulation is too dry and makes it more difficult to blend. I've used my fingers and a brush and think the brush technique works better. I'm glad I bought a mini size. — 2 years, 2 months ago

Good coverage, Dewy Finish
PaisleyLys (31 reviews)

I don't usually use this product, I tend to use Bobbi Oil Free Compact Foundation. However, my skin is very dry right now so I went back to this. It has really amazing coverage and blends well, giving me a natural looking but even skin tone. It doesn't dry matte on me so either I use power or I just go for the nice, dewy look. It is thick and creamy, so I definitely don't use this in the warmer, sweatier months. So it's definitely not for oily skin. I also feel like I have to warm it up, as it's not as smooth to apply straight from the stick. I usually use my fingers or a brush to get it going smoothly. Because I don't use this product often, it lasts me a long time, over a year. But for those who plan to use it daily, it won't last too long unless you use light coverage every day. — 2 years, 4 months ago

Nice product!
rloerzel (2 reviews)

I like this a lot. It works well for spot touchups during the day, and I use it as my only foundation/concealer on "good" skin days. Blends in well and doesn't look like a mask. And they even have a color that matches my very pale skin tone. — 3 years, 1 month ago
