What our experts say...
The packaging was modern and will appeal to millenials or a younger audience. The stick foundation is useful if you are travelling or on the go. The texture felt very light-weight and did not have any strong fragrance. Minimising the salon footprint is a unique, industry-specific incentive that seems impressive. I also respect that Runway Room Cosmetics use non-toxic ingredients, are cruelty-free, and support local ingredients

Stick foundations are great for their portability but also because I feel like you waste less product with them. I loved the way this product looked on the skin. It was high coverage without looking cakey or flat. It also lasted really well. I love how Runway Room Cosmetics has outlined inclusivity as one of their goals alongside supporting charities.

This amazing little magic stick has been a saving grace for me during stressful, sleepless periods. It gives such wonderful coverage and blends naturally with my skin tone, giving me a healthy makeup-free look. I love using it in tandem with Runway Room’s blush and highlighter sticks. I apply a toner after application just to give my skin a hydration boost. I love this brand’s efforts to produce makeup products that are refillable and interchangeable.

This beauty has true staying power – and even stays put well during a swim! It provides great buildable cover and will be a summer staple for beach days for me! I get best results when blending this with a brush or blender rather than just my fingers if I’m looking for light coverage, though the wonderful thing about this mineral stick is that it can give great full coverage too if needed!
