Stick foundation functions as more of a concealer and is great for women who need a lot of coverage; however, it can streak and settle into fine lines, depending on the formula. Cream-to-powder foundation is great for most skin types, and it gives that great dewy look that is in fashion right now. It goes on feeling moist like a cream but dries to a smooth matte finish. The newest development in foundation is mineral makeup, a powder version of base that goes on in layers to build as much coverage as you need. Mineral makeup is a good choice for those with sensitive skin due to its natural ingredients. If fine lines are an area of concern, look for an antiaging formula. Don't overlook the drugstore brands - they've come a long way in recent years and offer similar benefits as pricier versions sold at department stores.
