There’s nothing quite like finding a product that makes your everyday makeup routine simpler, smoother and more effective and the new essence FOUNDATION stick does just that. Whether you’re looking for a flawless base for your full-glam moments or a soft, natural finish for daily wear, this multi-use stick is designed to give you effortless, radiant skin in just a few swipes.
A Seamless Formula That Works with You
The essence FOUNDATION stick is all about customisable beauty. At the heart of this product is a super creamy, feather-light formula that glides on like silk and blends beautifully into the skin. Designed to offer a natural matte finish, the FOUNDATION stick provides just the right amount of coverage but allows you to build it up to your desired finish. What sets it apart is that it offers a second skin feel, not heavy or cakey on your face. Ideal for all skin types, the enriched formula adapts to your needs, whether you’re going for that no-makeup makeup vibe or a fully snatched glam.
Pro Tip: Use a damp beauty sponge for a diffused, skin-like finish or a dense brush for a more sculpted effect.
Beauty Meets Versatility: One Product, So Many Possibilities
One of the most exciting things about the essence FOUNDATION stick is its multi-functional use. Not only is it your go-to foundation, but it can also double up as a bronzer, contour or even a highlighter depending on the shade you choose. Go a few shades darker for a sun-kissed bronzed effect or snatch those cheekbones with a deeper tone as contour. Want to highlight? Grab a lighter shade and glow, baby, glow! Whether you’re streamlining your routine or simply love a product that can do it all, this is one to keep close!
Pro Tip: Use a darker shade along the cheekbones and jawline to add depth and a lighter shade under the eyes and centre of the face for a soft highlight.

An Inclusive Shade Range to Suit Every Skin Tone
The range includes 15 carefully curated shades, offering a variety of undertones from cool to warm, so you can easily find your perfect match. One standout is shade 240 Neutral Tan with a Rosy Undertone – a beautiful option for medium to tan complexions, offering a soft, natural finish that enhances your skin’s warmth without overpowering it. With such a thoughtful selection, you can also mix and match shades to sculpt and highlight your features with ease.
Easy Application, Anywhere You Are
The essence FOUNDATION stick’s convenient format means no mess, no fuss. It’s designed for easy, on-the-go application whether you’re getting ready in the car, refreshing your look at the office or creating a seamless base at home. Thanks to its handy compact size, it fits into your bag for easy touch ups, no matter where you are!
