This week I'm obsessed with... Benefit Hello Happy Air Stick Foundation!

Benefit Hello Happy Air Stick Foundation - $44 - in 12 shades: 1 - fair cool, 2 - light warm, 3 - light neutral warm, 4 - medium neutral, 5 - medium neutral warm, 6 - medium warm, 7 - medium tan neutral, 8 - tan warm, 9 - deep neutral, 10 - deep warm, 11 - dark neutral, 12 - dark warm - if offers medium coverage and 16 hour wear that glides on silky-smooth and dries down to a natural matte finish. The waterproof formula contains soft lightweight powders and shea butter to give it a weightless and breathable feel, blends and builds seamlessly for a natural looking - not cakey - complexion and includes a happy blend of chamomile and botanical extracts and a light lavender scent.

I have never been a foundation stick devotee before but this one is a game changer for me! I normally use a liquid foundation so I was finding the stick formula a little heavy until I discovered that it was a lot less messy to use the stick to make my own tinted moisturizer! On a clean face, I just swipe the stick down both sides, nose, chin and forehead and then apply my moisturizer - rubbing it in spreads the foundation around and dilutes it and then I finish with a quick once over with a foundation brush to smooth everything out. But it gets better - then in lieu of a concealer, I use the stick directly on anything that needs some extra coverage - blemishes, dark circles, redness - presto gone - I love this freakin' stick!
