The other day I was testing out a drugstore foundation stick and it instantly reminded me of something. This particular drugstore full coverage foundation stick reminded me so much of my beloved Hourglass foundation stick. I thought it was too good to be true. The next day, I tried the Hourglass foundation on one half of my face, and the drugstore dupe on the other half. They applied the exact same way, the shade was a perfect match (formula, finish, and wear is more important, but I had to mention this), the consistency was the exact same, and the finish was the exact same. 9 hours later, both foundations wore the exact same. You ready to see what this is? Drumroll, please….. The Hourglass Vanish Stick Foundation dupe is…. the Wet ‘n Wild PhotoFocus Stick Foundation! Say what?!
1. It Cosmetics Heavenly Luxe Flat Top Buffing Brush 2. e.l.f. Ultimate Blending Brush
What I first do is apply the stick directly to my face, all over. Then I’ll take a foundation brush and buff it in circular motions. My favorite high end foundation brush is the It Cosmetics Heavenly Luxe Flat Top Buffing Brush, and my favorite drugstore foundation brush is the e.l.f. Ultimate Blending Brush.
