BASMA Beauty

The Foundation Stick

SUMMARY OF REVIEWS

BASMA Beauty's The Foundation Stick is a creamy, buildable formula that delivers sheer to medium-plus coverage without looking makeup-y, even in layers. Professional makeup artist Nikki La Rose calls it "phenomenal" and says it works for oily skin with proper prep, while The Clean Beauty Code warns it's not for oily skin and may emphasize dryness throughout the day. Several creators praise the shade match and lightweight feel, but those with dry skin should prep accordingly.
