LOVE IT! Great summer-time foundation. (Soaks up all the oil & leaves face matte for hours) This is somewhat hard to find & might be discontinued (not sure). I use two colors to transition from winter skin color to summer skin. Great for oily skin types & very much recommended. You can find these at LONGS!

This product gives coverage that you can control, so if you want to go lightly, you can, and vice versa, if you want more coverage, you can! It's creamy enough to be easily blendable, but it doesn't make my face feel heavy or oily. I have combination, fair skin, so this foundation fits me as the package states that it's useful for combination skin. You can use it as a eye primer as well. Overall, this is a good, dependable product. You get a lot for about $12-15.

Fantastic product, fantastic price, fantastic cover and this foundation just lasts and lasts!! It contains a sunscreen as well which is very useful and works well. It covers any pimples, redness, scarring perfectly.

So alas, why has it been discontinued in New Zealand?? I not have to bulk order from the States. Grrr, it's so annoying.

I've been using this foundation stick since I was 15 years old (my very first foundation). I'm now 21 and I have yet to find anything that blends or matches better (I use Pale). I suffer from permanently rosy cheeks and absolutely nothing out there can effectively hide them like this stick...bonus it looks very natural. People always compliment my skin! For the past few months I've been trying several other foundations (Bobbi Brown Stick, MAC Studio Fix, Benefit Stick) to see if I could find anything better. None of them even compared to my QuickStick!

I really like this foundation. I always had trouble finding a good one that would cover my acne scarred skin and this one does the job. I use just a little bit as a concealer and use Physician's Formula mineral powder over it and my skin looks really good and natural- well as good as my skin can look. I like the packaging b/c it's convenient, doesn't take up much room, and it's not messy. I will definitely repurchase this one.

This is great for combination skin, great for travel, great for quick touchups, and great for adjustible coverage with a matte finish. In short - it's GREAT.

Soft Ivory is also great for pale skin. If L'Oreal ever discontinues this, I will go on a homicidal rampage. (Okay, I won't go on a homicidal rampage, but I will be pissed!)

I've bought maybe a dozen of these since they debuted. I love the coverage, I love the precision you can achieve with the twist-up tube, and they actually make my shade (Caramel Beige). If you want to thin it out, you can use moisturizer and a sponge. I'm always afraid that L'oreal will discontinue this.

I really like this foundation. I had a very bad experience with Maybeline's stick foundation (it left me oily and made my pores look huge!!) But this foundation is good because it is really made for combination skin like mine. I just rub it in directly from the tube on my cheeks, forehead, nose and chin and then I blend it in with a foundation brush (I got a really good cheap brush at Walgreens- I highly recomend trying to find it!). Then I go over places that need extra coverage one more time... and then dust with powder and apply my blush/bronzer. It's really fast and easy! Even though I'm young, I have found that I am prone to foundation sinking into my smile lines, so I always go over this area with a Q-tip after my makeup is on. It helps remove the excess makeup to reduce the risk of smile lines!

I've used this for years, and as many foundations as I've tried, I always end up going back to it! It covers as well as a concealer, but isn't heavy or sticky on me. I love it! It's great for covering undereye circles and uneven skin tone. Plus, the lightest color exactly matches me, so it's a perfect fit for my skin.

Uggghhh! This stuff is awful. I tried it after reading many reviews of people that really liked it and had good things to say about it. Thank goodness I didn't spend much on it. It felt really oily to me and I had to slather this stuff on to get any coverage at all. I also thought it was hard to blend and stuck to every little flake of skin I had, even the ones I couldn't see before I applied it!I've been using Revlon's Colorstay Liquid for combo skin with a light dusting of powder to set it for several years and have had good luck with it but decided I wanted to try something that would cut down on the time I spent putting on makeup everyday. I thought Quick stick would be the way to go. After applying this all I could think was How quick can I get this junk off my face?! How dissapointing! I guess I'll have to keep looking.

This is an excellent foundation for those with normal to combination skin. I use Nude Beige and it is the perfect colour for my NC20 skin. It is a dream to apply (very light and easy to blend) and it stays on all day. I only use this where I need it - under my eyes, around my nose, and anywhere else I break out. I apply it with my fingers and use a concealer brush to apply on any breakouts. The packaging makes it easy to travel with as I can just throw it into my purse. Someone with dry or oily skin may not like the feel of this foundation, so definetly test it before purchasing. The price is reasonable and I have been able to pick this up for as low $6.00 Canadian. This is a definite repurchase for me and hopefully L'Oreal does not discontinue Quickstick.
Bonus: it has SPF 14 sunscreen (titanium dioxide).

Hi,

I've never used foundation on a regular basis coz I hated the way my skin felt after applying it,till abt 2 years back when someone gifted this one to me. This just glides on so smooth and looks completely natural. For all of you who wanna stock up on this product, try the L'Oreal section at Walgreens. They have a 'Buy One ,Get One Free' on this product.

This is the best foundation I have ever tried and I will stick with it, no pun intended ;) Well, I like foundation to be light and to conceal and this stick does both very well. It literally glides on with a velvety texture and, once on the skin, is great to blend, either with your fingers or with a make-up sponge. It lasts the day and it makes me feel clean and flawless and I will definitely repurchase. Mine is in "Nude Beige" and my skin is light-to-medium tone. The packaging is great and the tube travels well in a purse.

I think this may be discontinued, which is a shame, as this was such a terrific face makeup. Makes my skin look flawless, lasts all day and feels so light on. Why do they always discontinue the best products?

This is one of the best foundations out there IMO!! I love how you can pop it into your purse for a quick cover during the day. I love the silver case it comes in. It also covers like a dream. You get a full coverage but it feels so light and it stays put all day....Amazing coverage that you cannot see....I think they may be discontinuing this so I will be stock piling this....

This was my first foundation. It's great for a young teenager. It's sheer and very easy and simple to use. I would still buy this but it seems as though my skin got drier now that I'm in my early twenties. It accentuates your dry patches, but it's formula is creamy. The color can change after a few hours of wear also.

I've been using this foundation on and off for five years and I have generally been very satisfied with its performance. It sticks up most of the day, even through sweaty NYC summers. I've found, however, that if you buy one shade too dark (as I've done by accident), it tends to turn quite yellow and noticeably darker on your skin as the day goes on. However, with the right color choice, I highly recommend this as a quick and easy to use product which can furthermore double as a concealer when applied with a brush.

If they had a shade that matched my skin, I'd give this a 5, but I tried Nude Beige (I usually wear the second lightest yellow-toned shade in foundations) and it looked perfect when I applied it, then about 20 minutes later it changed to a darker, orange cast. It wasn't noticeable inside, but when I checked in my car mirror, I was horrified. My face was definitely a different shade than my neck! So I returned it and got Soft Ivory (the lightest shade--the shade Pale was way too pink looking). So, Soft Ivory looked perfect in indoor lighting, but I went outside and looked in a mirror, and my face was white, and my neck looked tan in comparison. It is too bad, because the foundation actually lasted a good 8 hours on me and I haven't found anything else with that kind of staying power--even so called "long lasting" foundations, and my skin is combination. If you find a color match, I envy you!

It's rare that I find drugstore products that warrant 5 lippies, but this one is a true HG. It's absolutely perfect for those who dislike the look and feel of foundation. I have combination skin and use this mainly in my T-Zone. It evens out my complexion and eliminates redness with a soft, matte finish. It can also be used as a concealer for blemishes. The packaging is sleek and convenient, easily fitting into even the smallest handbags.
