Foundation sticks are my new favorite base! They’re so quick to apply and look so natural. I wear Willow in Ilia and Dune in merit. The dune is slightly too light however! They are truly SO similar but I slightly prefer the Ilia one since the bigger stick makes it faster to apply and it blends more easily. They work well on my dry, mature skin but I do like the Colleen Rothschild face oil underneath. (Or the merit glow serum). Let me know if you have questions!!
