Most Helpful Positive Review I would buy this product again- great for summer! I mainly got this product to try for summer wear. We go to the lake quite a bit and I'm outside at the kiddie pool and water table with my 2 year old twins in the summer, so I needed something to withstand all the splashing. This foundation is on the lighter side of medium coverage but I don't mind that. It is very smooth and easy to apply. I was not sure how a stick foundation would apply, I have never had one and all I could think about was a sunscreen face stick pulling my skin. However, this foundation really glides on and blended easy on my skin. I did still use a concealer for under my eyes though. Since stores were closed I had to the best I could to guess my number so I went with a 3. I have fairly light skin, no freckles, and do tan when out in the sun. It turned out to be a pretty good match.
Most Helpful Critical Review Emphasizes dry patches, pores and lines There are very few foundations I can use due to allergies to common ingredients. So I was excited to find something safe for my skin. Unfortunately this was a big miss for maturish skin. It emphasizes everything I'm trying to cover. It settles into pores, making them really obvious (primer and different blending methods did not help). It draws attention to any dry spots. And it settles into any lines including nose creases (none of my powders seem to make any difference). I've tried everything I can think of to achieve better results but no success.
It looks fine enough on my Zoom meetings (the color was a good match for me and it doesn't feel gross) so I am using it when I am home, but I def wouldn't go out and interact with anyone IRL.
After purchasing, I watched some video reviews and noticed that young reviewers with terrific skin loved it, while older reviewers had exactly the same experience as me.

I just spread it where I want coverage and use a sponge to blend it in.
It's pretty good 5
Selena from San Diego, CA
I bought this because I traveled to California to see my sister and my foundation dried out in my carry on, unfortunately. So I scrambled to get a new one and one of the benefit experts at Ulta recommended this and I actually didn't think I would like this but I do I tried two different ways of blending it into my skin and I found that using a brush (I use morphe's Y6 foundation brush) is effectively better to blend than using a beauty blender. I like the medium coverage this offers because I don't really wear full coverage anymore and it applies well and settles in well. I have oily/combo skin.
great coverage 5

It goes on so smooth and it matches my skin to the T
Big mistake 1
Love makeup from NC
I was looking forward to trying this product as recommended at Ulta. I wanted a tad more coverage in some areas without greasiness. My skin is pretty normal, so I didn't anticipate the flakiness others with " mature skin" mentioned in reviews. Well, they were right. After application my skin started to flake like I was a reptile. It got tighter and dryer and looked horrible. I could t wait to get home and wash it off and moisturize. I sent back to my tinted moisturizer by Clinique the next day and have had no problem since. Will be looking for a different foundation stick.
Greasy, highlights any skin imperfections, enlarges pores 1
Bri from Columbus, OH
I have average, combination skin, and this product really was terrible. It's an oil based stick that is extremely greasy. Somehow, this product manages to highlight your pore size, highlight any dry skin you have, and make any slightly oily areas more oily. Even if you don't think you have dry skin or large pores before applying your makeup for that day, you'll feel otherwise after putting this foundation on. Because it's so oily, this stuff smears around a lot and also doesn't really blend into your skin- just sits on top, which you can obviously see. It builds up near the slightest bit of dry skin and the grease doesn't mix well with even semi oily skin. Setting powder didn't seem to help with these issues. Super disappointed for the price and because I have had good experiences with benefit cosmetic products in the past. If you wanted to try a new foundation, like I did, keep looking!
I will buy this product again 5

I apply this after my moisturizer daily. Is easy to apply and feels nice on my skin.
My Favorite Daily Foundation 5

I changed my foundation routine and now match to my chin and neck. I have hyperpigmentation and found that this foundation matches me perfectly.
evens out redness 3

Evens out my redness nicely, but the tube gets gunked up really quickly.
Its good 4

Just wanted to try something new, Not bad. Im going to stick to liquid though.
Love this foundation! 5
Katie from University Place, Wa
This foundation stick is so smooth on your skin! It has excellent coverage and did not feel thick on my face.
Holds up surprisingly well under a mask! 4
Makayla from Orlando
I recently purchased this foundation while in was on sale 30% because I had my eye on it for a long time and I had been looking for something that will last under my mask while working so I decided to go ahead a try it. It has a very nice soft matte/natural finish and a medium coverage. It claims to be "buildable" but I don't get much past a medium coverage. I did have to exchange for a shade lighter because the one I ordered was too dark for me. The shade down ended up being perfect. I was surprised at how well it held up under a mask! It did transfer on my mask but everything was in tact with the exception of my nose but I knew that was going to happen and that's an easy fix so that didn't bother me.

Perfect 5
Mia's mom from Louisiana
This stick covers my redness and acne scars but doesn't feel heavy or gross. It's also a perfect match for my skin; I am very fair skinned with cool undertones. I've had a hard time finding a match in the past, but I ordered the lightest shade and it was perfect; not too orange. I will definitely buy this again.
Did not work for me 2
Gosia from Schaumburg, IL
When first applied, the color and coverage seems to be good, but throughout an approximate 10+ hour day, the coverage wore off and looked like I was not wearing any coverage at all. I was hopeful for this because I liked the feel and texture, but it just did not look good on my skin as the day went on. I ended up returning this product
New favorite everyday foundation 5
Nicole from California
I've been looking for a new foundation for awhile and stumbled upon this. I absolutely love how easy it is to apply and that they have a shade light enough for me (shade 1) that doesn't make my face look orange. It is lighter coverage than liquid foundation.
Oxidizes 1
Lin from Huntington wv
Returned it because as soon as I blended it it went orange. Doesn't apply well either. This was a fail for one of my fav brands.
good for everyday 5
Alycia from mn
I have fairly dry skin, and really light complexion. I tried this foundation about 2 weeks ago, and I've been using it everyday. I like the lighter coverage for a natural glowey daytime look, and it lasts all day long while I'm moving and grooving at work (retail). I will def be purchasing again in the future.
I thought this would be the one 2
Millkr from Tuscaloosa
I was told by a benefit sales lady that this would be perfect for my dry, textured skin. I was excited because I thought I had finally found the foundation that would work for me. This could not be farther from the truth. I have extremely dry skin with some fine lines and wrinkles. After applying my pre-makeup routine (hyluronic serum and moisturizer) this stuff would not blend in and looked horribly cakey. Either I'm taking this back or it's going in the garbage.
Smooth and lightweight 5
Erin makeup minimalist from Houston, TX
I just glide the foundation stick along my cheeks, forehead and chin and use a squeezed out beauty blender to blend it all in. Makes your face so smooth and feel covered without feeling heavy, cakey, or dirty.
What I was looking for 5
Lauraloo from Sierra Vista AZ
Had to return the Lock It foundation by KVD it was just to thick and hard to blend an Ulta employee recommended this I recently started having a lot of issues with liquid foundation had to return several brands back to Ulta anyways I believe this is why I was meant to have the Hello Happy Stick Foundation. I love it got the #3 perfect match thanks to the amazing employee at the Sierra Vista AZ location she is amazing every time always gets my color right just everything else is wrong with a liquid foundation I hope they don't discontinue this product I finally found a foundation I will definitely by again as long as they make it I'll buy it.

Easy For This Tomboy Mom from Buford, GA
The first time I did it I realized I didn't apply enough but the second time (the picture) it covered much better and it didn't feel like it was smothering my skin. I haven't worn any foundation/makeup since I was in my late 20s and then it felt like cake so this is much better.
New favorite foundation 5
Taylor from Minneapolis, MN
This is the perfect everyday foundation. Do a few swipes across your face and blend in with a brush. Bam, done within 2 minutes or less! Like any foundation, use a primer for longer coverage. It was not orangey on me at all. Color was a little light but I just threw on some bronzer
Best foundation I have found 5
Drea from Reading
I was recommended this by an associate at ulta and immediately fell in love. I hate wearing foundation normally, but this felt natural and I almost forgot I had it on.
I have oily skin, and this product didn't work well for me. 1
Nicholle from Kentucky
sad that I wasted money on a product I will never use. This didn't work well at all on my skin. The shade that was recommended was also too dark for me. I couldn't test the product either because of the virus right now.
Perfect for me 5
Pri from Indio ca
I usually use the Hello Happy soft blur foundation but recently found out it was discontinued, they recommended me the air stick. I LOVED IT. I have a smooth face, I don't really wear heavy makeup I just want something to even put my whole skin tone and something light to blend my eyebrow concealer. I regret ever using the actual liquid foundation even that was too heavy for me but this stick is perfect. The liquid was even getting a little too orange for me but the same shade in the air stick wasn't as orange it was perfect. It's literally the new and improved version of the liquid and even easier to apply. Grateful!!
