Which foundation stick words for you? I’d love to hear what your favorites are. 💜 FYI I did get my hands on the new ILIA sticks as well so I’ll be testing & reviewing those soon!

I’ve tried three shades of Ogee, it hangs onto my dry patches. I wanted to love it but I do love the Ilia stick

My Ogee complexion stick arrived today and I immediately tested it and I can say I love it because of how natural it looks on the skin. It just glides on the skin and like what other women said, it has a buttery texture. However, i don’t have a make up brush so I used a sponge which i think did not work as well as a brush would. Well, i would understand if this Ogee make up is not as lasting as we would like it to be and its because of its organic natural (plant based) ingredients. Just like my groceries, i prefer organic and they don’t last as long as the non-organic fruits amd veggies. Thank you Britt for patiently making a comparison of these natural stick foundations. It helped me make up my mind.🫶🏽

I looooooove the WA foundation stick. I have combo skin and use just a small amount. I dab my Merit foundation brush across the stick maybe three times. Definitely no dabbing, more swiping but I also focus more on the inside of my face and not my bronzer and concealer areas. I don’t layer my makeup to keep it natural. Love the Merit foundation as well however I like WA better. Merits stick highlighter is incredible though!
@BrittWitkin 2 ай бұрын
love this feedback, thank you!! all about the swipe for it...100% 💜 oh also, I tried the Merit highlighter stick and that formula went south on me so quickly each time. I must have received bad batches! Otherwise I liked it.

thanks for including Ogee and Merit. i've been looking at those two lately as i'm about to do a travel back to the philippines, and looking to minimize any liquid i have to bring in the carryon. not sure what you think of foundation sticks from Milk, Well People, Nudestix and Trestique, but i wish you could review them also if you haven't yet. the Merit one does have BHT in its ingredients, and both have coconut oil/triglycerides. Ogee is incredibly pricey which i balk at

I second the well people suggestion…it seems they’ve done some revamps in recent years and I’m so curious how they’re sculpting, highlighting and blush sticks are…any of their makeup really! I’m sure the packaging is not great 😕 But their price point is appealing and the ingredients look pretty good, thank you!

Great review. Interested in Zao now. Funny -- Westman Atelier stick -- people either love or hate it. (I hate it.) I'm interested in trying the Fenty stick next. Fenty's liquid moisture foundation actually worked for me. First time I enjoyed a liquid. Then they discontinued it. But, I will always pick a stick first. They can be so versatile and beautiful if the formula is good.

Yes! I wanna see it. Talk about the neutralizer pencil. What does it even mean?! 😅 I don’t get to watch your videos too often, but when I do, you crack me up by some of the things you say and how you say them 😂 I don’t like a full face of foundation, so I use the Merit complexion stick just where I need it. I want to try the Zao stick and the mob beauty foundation now, thanks to you. Will you be reviewing the new Ilia foundation stick? I’d like your opinion on it if you do. Ok, thanks. Byyye 😊

Hi! Would you please review the new makeup line (Oceanly) that came out from the brand Attitude Living. I don’ t know if you know about them but they are a very earth friendly and clean ingredients company and they just came out with some makeup products. I’ve been eyeing them but I just can’t find any reviews on them.

I’ve had the Merit in my cart for a while, but now I may go with the Ogee especially with the coupon code! The Mob Beauty I will not be trying because it has hyaluronic acid which I may have sensitivity to. Currently I use the potted concealer from Inika Organic but I am looking for a better shade range. I am also curious about the new Ilia stick because they have omitted HA in the formula.
@BrittWitkin 3 ай бұрын
Nice! Interesting about HA. I do prefer formulas without it as well. Honestly I'm fine with makeup not having any skincare since I use products that are solely meant for it. But that's an unpopular opinion. Testing the ILIA sticks now!
@caseyelizabethan 3 ай бұрын
Update I did purchase the Ogee in 0.5 Birch and the scent was horrifying to me and I got hives lol. I don’t know how I missed the patchouli oil but they should advertise the scent more. The finish was ok it didn’t show texture but more of a matte finish on me. Shade was a little yellow for a neutral. I returned it.
@viviantaunton9783 3 ай бұрын
Great reviews. I have had all three. My WA , I use it to spot check. I use the drops first then spot check with the stick. I did not hear of your hack and will try it! The Ogee not my fav, it's a bit drying on this dry mature face. But, with the hack I will try and see if it works better. Merit was a no go for me, too thick and did the same, dry patches no bueno.

The face pencils are for spot coverage or that's how I've used them, when you don't need evening out all over. I wouldn't use it instead of a tinted face moisturizer, I used both the tinted moisturizer (usually with some form of sunscreen) + the pencil to even out in certain spots where needed. Honestly, I haven't been reaching for the face pencils, but now that I'm trying the neutralizer I'm playing around with things more so they could make their way back into the routine...💜

I am not a fan of sticks myself. I feel they are better for oilier skin people who like quick and easy and no brush. They also seem higher priced as well.
