How to Pick your Color - 10.16.09
Quick Take: oil-free, long wearing, cream to powder, blendable

I noticed that someone mentioned that it was hard to pick your color. This foundation is very blendable, and very easy to get right!
There are three yellow-toned sticks (the ones with "ocher" in their name) which are basically light, medium, deep.
There are three neutral-toned sticks (the ones with "beige" in their name) which are also light, medium, deep.
Finally, there are four pink-toned sticks, with an extra-light one for those super-fair-skinned redheads of the world.
They do run a bit on the light side, so I chose the medium ocher color even though I'm somewhere between light and medium. Light would have been too light on my skin.
This foundation is very soft, medium coverage (not full coverage, like, say, MUFE's pan stick). It's perfect if you want to even out your skin but keep a natural look.

This feels heavy for my face. Does not make my face seem healthy with a glow or anything. It just makes my face look dry and dull. Staying power does not last long. I returned this product.

Gives great coverage on my oily-blemished skin! - 07.25.09
Quick Take: long wearing, cream to powder, smooth, matte

This is an amazing foundation that gives me really good coverage on my uneven complexion! The colour is perfect and non-orange. It goes on creamy and dries like a powder!

This lasts all day and it looks completely natural and flawless on my face. Plus it has spf 15! (:

The foundation I'm using now. - 05.15.09
Quick Take: oil-free, long wearing, blends easily

I use this as a spot foundation/concealer. The texture is just moist enough and it blends pefectly into my skin. The hardest part is figuring out which shade to order. I don't have a Sephore near me.

Perfect - 04.02.09
Quick Take: portable, medium coverage, blendable, buildable

not too matte, not too heavy, just a medium-coverage, perfectly dewy without looking greasy foundation. I love stick foundation for its ease and portability. I usually use Bobbi Brown, which is a little heavier and a lot more expensive. I think I'll be making a change!

not happy - 01.20.09
Quick Take: long wearing

This foundation was not what I expected. I wanted long lasting coverage which it did not do. When applied with a brush, sponge or my fingers it did not stay put escpecially around my nose. I have large pores and all it did was fill the pores and sit in the creases. On the skin surface it just seamed to slide around so you can't even reapply if needed or apply more for a fuller coverage. Even when appling powder and blush it would wipe off with the brushes. Not recommended

Love, love, love it!!! - 01.12.09
Quick Take: long wearing

I absolutely love Shiseido's stick foundation. Stick foundations are so easy to apply. The color is buildable and super-easy to blend to a natural looking finish. I use my finger to blend the foundation and then take a sponge and dab over the top to make the blending job look completely natural. This foundation is long lasting (even on my oily skin). This is a truly remarkable foundation!

Quick Take: long wearing, non-drying, creamy, smooth, convenient, true to color

I love the creamy feel of this foundation on my severely dry I-60 skin. Though it lasts during the day, I find it does settle into my fine lines. Luckily, it doesn't turn make my skin turn or appear red.

Nice flawless look - 01.09.09
Quick Take: long wearing, cream to powder, natural looking wear, naturally contours

The foundation covers very well and at the same time doesn't look cakey. I don't wear bronzer or even blush and it seems to look like I am just with the foundation. I think the foundation work wonders to give glow to the part of the face that is needed natural just by applying. you do need to use your fingers to apply to your face. It is also very long lasting.

Great coverage makes you look younger! - 12.29.08
Quick Take: oil-free, long wearing, smooth & silky, light-weight & natural

I've been using this foundation stick for my under-eye dark circles (I don't have them too badly, but def enough to show how tired I am!)... and it's been a god-sent.
I always get complimented by how great my skin looks, but all it is is this foundation. I don't even put it on my whole face, just on concentrated areas, which is great for time management and an overall natural look.
The only note for improvement is I wish they would make it last a bit longer..., more like 12 hours rather than 8 hours!

I liked it- didnt love it. - 11.18.08
I like this product but coverage wasnt that great. It looks dewy on and thats ok because it made my skin look fresh. It also has a nice scent. I just wish it would cover a little better.

This is a great stick makeup, and great for when you're in a hurry. The makeup blends and blends and has a smooth, non-greasy texture, and even works well with oily skin.

Natural look - 10.02.08
This foundation really gives you a natural look. It glides on very smoothly and is easy to spread out. The only downside is that it melts before mid-day and requires frequent touchup, especially on my oily skin. Only good for those with dry skin.

If you are looking for full coverage that is not heavy look no further. The texture is creamy and smooth easy application. I would put this up against the more expensive brands any day!

Quick Take: comfortable to wear

I've been using this for about 6 years. It's easy to apply, gives a nice glow, moisturizes, doesn't go on dry or flaky & comes in a realisitc range of colors. It isn't a heavy coverage,..I'd have given it 5 stars if it sayed on longer. I like foundation to stay on all day.
