Benefit Cosmetics play sticks - foundation and concealer - paper dolls

Good all around stick foundation, creamy, pigment rich and lasts a long time with setting powder. Paper dolls is next to the lightest shade (that no longer exists) so is about an N 20, or light bisque shade. I really like the convenience of stick foundation and wish more companies would make it.

I love the Benefit's Playstick and I'm disappointed that it has been discontinued in the paper dolls color. I've used it for several years now and the coverage has been great.

Price a little high, but to be expected for something the company has discontinued. All else was satisfactory would have liked to have more communication with sender to give heads up to watch the mail for delivery.

The Best Cover stick I have ever used. After 10 Minutes your skin looks totally even as if you have nothing on it.

Glad to see it return, hope they never take off the market again!

Worked great.

Good

I first tried this product when, days before my wedding, I ran out of my regular Dior foundation and Sephora was out of stock. It turned out to be a lucky break - the Play Sticks foundation turned out to be much smoother and natural-looking on my skin, and it stays on my face all day. Even the professional makeup artist for my wedding commented that it was really great foundation, and she ended up using it on me instead of the foundation she brought. I tend to be sensitive to certain "natural" ingredients in facial products (Origins, for example, breaks my face out because of all the citrus extracts). So I was a little concerned that the tea tree oil in play sticks would irritate my skin. But as it turns out, I don't have a problem, and the tea tree oil seems to actually prevent breakouts. Also, now that my skin is clearer, I find myself wanting to wear less makeup overall. I love that the Play Sticks is a good color match and doesn't look "makeup-y," so that I can just put a little on my cheeks and chin to even out the skin tone, instead of making up my whole face. But at the same time, the coverage is surprisingly opaque, so it covers nicely if you have a pimple or dark circles you want to hide. Like someone else mentioned, I don't find that I buy much concealer, powder, primer, etc. any more. The only negative I can think of is that you don't get a lot of product for your money compared to a liquid foundation. So if you're switching from a liquid, you might be annoyed to find that you need to reorder more frequently than you'd like. Still, it's absolutely the best foundation I've ever tried, and well worth the price.
