WHAT’S NOW & HOW TO DO IT...

RETURN OF THE PAN STICK

THE concept of stick foundation isn’t new. Max Factor created the original Pan Stik in 1947 and it’s still available today for £7.99 in Boots. It became a beauty icon thanks to its super creamy formula that provides as much — or as little — coverage as you require. But the new sticks are designed to be used on the go and can be blended with your fingers, a brush or a sponge. Try Lancome Teint Idole Ultra Foundation Stick (£25.50, lancome.co. uk), which offers long-lasting wear and SPF15 skin protection. The cheaper NYX Professional Makeup Mineral Stick Foundation (£11.50, feelunique. com) is easy to blend. Or pick Smashbox Studio Skin Shaping Foundation (£29.50, boots.com), a doublesided stick which even has a soft contour end.
