essence Foundation Stick 170, 10 g

Foundation in stick form: you sweep it straight onto the face, with no bottle, no pump and no brush involved. That makes shade 170 an easy one to keep for mornings when speed matters more than ritual.

The texture is creamy and melts into the skin rather than sitting on top of it, softening the look of blemishes and evening out the complexion with a natural, comfortable finish that holds through the day.

Key points

• Stick format applies directly, no brush needed
• Covers blemishes and evens out the complexion
• Creamy texture for a natural, comfortable finish
• Compact 10 g stick that slips into a handbag
• Shade 170

Because the stick lays down colour undiluted, draw a few short strokes only where you actually want cover, then blend outwards: it is far easier to add than to take away.
