During the dog days of summer, it’s not unheard of for many people to go the low-maintenance route when it comes to their beauty routines. The balmy humidity and scalding heat often leave one wanting for a more simplified yet lasting routine. What’s more – many people find themselves on the go, whether it’s on vacation or a simple trip to a nearby beach. As such, most people look for simple and compact packaging that’ll be easy to toss into one’s makeup bag.
Thus, the beauty world presents the stick foundation: An option whose easy application and blendable formulas allow for a bit of a slap-dash approach to make up. While at the same time being compact and convenient enough to take on the go. It’s no wonder that so many brands are offering their own version of the summertime staple, below are some suggestions for those looking to try the trend:
