Maybelline Fit Me Anti-Shine Stick.

Maybelline Fit Me Anti-Shine Stick in 115 Ivory (£8.99 from Boots).

Anti-shine, panstick style foundation? Yes please! This premise seems new to the makeup high street but actually harks back to my Gran's youth where pansticks were the face makeup of choice. I love the packaging of this product- I think it highlights the compactness of the product and how easy it is to travel with. The product has a creamy coloured foundation stick with an anti-shine gel inner core and is available in six different shades. 

I actually really like the formula. It's like nothing else that I've used before- is so much more than a mousse-to-powder foundation. On first swatch, it looks and feels like a light liquid foundation but when you begin to blend it, it becomes a powdery, soft blendable dream! I will say that the lightest shade of Ivory isn't that pale at all, I find it to have a slight orange tinge to it myself, although it isn't mega noticeable on my skin tone, I imagine it would be on a paler, perhaps red head complexion. I've read some blog reviews that suggest that the stick gives a dewy finish but I don't find that at all; in fact, I find it to be very matte in finish. I'd describe this as a light coverage foundation but I find that using a powder over the top adds an adequate level of coverage. I think this might be a product that divides opinions amongst bloggers but I personally like it. 

In a nutshell: it's super easy to use, with light weight feeling and coverage. Does what it says on the tube.
