Contrary to the belief that stick foundations aren't for everyday use because of their thick, heavy coverage, these next-gen finds are lightweight and can shave minutes off your daily makeup routine. Here are reasons why you should try them out yourself:

You simply need to draw stripes on your whole face and blend everything for an airbrushed finish.
You can use it as a concealer.

Dab it over your makeup to touch-up some spots that need a little help. Tap with your ring finger to blend. Easy, right?
