Shiseido's The MAKEUP Foundation Stick has certainly proved to withstand the test of time. It

is one of the few foundation sticks which have managed to stick around, formula unchanged, in the United States, while American women had a major malfunction & associated all stick foundations with thick, cakey makeup. this was undoubtedly the worst time to be a foundation stick In the U.S., but Shiseido's contribution stuck it out.

Is that a pro or a con for consumers?

NYX Mineral Foundation Stick Review & Swatches of Shades

NYX Mineral Foundation Stick
New for Spring 2014
CRUELTY FREE!!!
Price: $10.00- $10.99 for 6 grams
(approx $1.70/gram)
Available from Ulta or NYX Website

I've always equated NYX to a drugstore MAC. It may just be their packaging but I think its more the fact that they have loyal fans who would rather die than live without their NYX lipstick & eyeshadows, just like MAC, and their foundations, while coveted by some, generally have a sort of "it's a toss up" reputation so I hadn't really given them a chance to wow me. I knew I was being unfair so when I saw their spring 2014 lineup I jumped.

How high? Well, that's the question isn't it?
