To answer this question, we put the new  Benefit Cosmetics Hello Happy Air Stick Foundation SPF20 PA+++ to the test.

There’s a huge world of makeup foundations out there. From different textures to finishes, shades, wearability and more, women are presented with so many options when it comes to choosing the right foundation for daily use.

So which one should you pick? The answer is really up to you and your skin type! For instance, if you have normal to combination skin with hardly any skin issues, a long-lasting cushion compact foundation with high coverage is suitable for you. But if you’ve acne-prone skin, look for a lightweight, oil-free pick with skincare-infused benefits. This is so that your skin isn’t aggravated when you apply it on. Now, with the launch of Benefit’s new Hello Happy Air Stick Foundation, we’re treated to yet another new foundation option and so we thought we’d compare it against a member of its own family, the Hello Happy Flawless Brightening Liquid Foundation SPF15/PA++ to see how it’d fare*.  Check it out:

Verdict: Love that at it’s easy to use and how easy it is to apply and blend with fingers while on the go. However, we do somehow feel that the coverage doesn’t last as long compared with the liquid foundation.

Verdict: Great for everyday wear. Long lasting and confidence boosting. Love the natural dewy effect your skin has even after many hours.

Although both foundations are very good options, all in all, we still prefer the liquid foundation for daily use cos its durability sans touch-ups. However, the stick foundation is a great alternative if you’re rushing to get somewhere, travelling or simply looking to conceal blemishes.
