9 best stick foundations: Tested and reviewed 2025
Life hack alert! Did you know you could pretty much do a whole face of makeup using just a couple of stick foundations? Seriously, you can use a stick foundation for everything— spot concealing, contouring, bronzing, full coverage, light coverage, etc. Whether you're a dewy or matte foundation lover, a no-makeup makeup devotee, or are after cloud skin, there's a stick foundation to help you achieve the look you want. I should know, I've tried a lot of 'em. If you're not sure where to start when it comes to navigating the world of stick foundations, don't worry: I've done all the testing and scrolling for you. Of course, I'm not just here to tell you what stick foundations worked for me and my skin type (combo-dry, if you must know), so I also consulted with my fellow Cosmopolitan editors, got insights into their fave formulas —from Hourglass to Fenty—and read countless reviews online to come up with a list of the 9 best stick foundations because we all deserve a secret weapon in our makeup kits.

I'm a beauty editor, and this is the one big mascara swap I recommend making for summer
Mascara is the ultimate staple in your make-up bag. A desert island product for many, and a daily must for most. And for those of us without luscious dark lashes, swiping through some black mascara before running out of the house is second nature. However, if you've been addicted to black mascara for as long as you can remember, then I have news for you. Because the most up-to-date way to wear it this summer is to swap black for a the chicer shade of brown - and it could make you look even better. Yes, it looks more subtle, but it can also make certain eye colours - particularly blue and green - pop more. It's mascara's version of quiet luxury; polished but understated. Which explains why more brands than ever are adding the shade to their bestselling mascaras. Read on to discover our tried-and-tested favourites. FOR HIGH OCTANE LENGTH: Hourglass Instant Extensions Espresso Mascara, £32, Space NK This is their cult tubing mascara – so cult one sells every 60 seconds. Tubing mascaras basically work by using polymers that set into flexible tubes that wrap round the diameter of each lash, like a tube coating. These rings extend the length by building beyond the tip of your natural lash, don't crumble like traditional mascaras, and can be removed without using make-up remover. Due to those clever polymer tubes, you can simply slide the mascara off using warm water. Deeply satisfying. £32 Shop FOR GREAT VALUE: L'Oreal Paris Volume Million Lashes Panorama Mascara in Brown, £12.99, Boots The increased length and volume this powerful tube can give is gob-smacking. The wand combs clumps out really well and it layers so you can turn the volume up to 11 with two coats. L'Oreal Paris Volume Million Lashes Panorama Mascara £12.99 Shop FOR A NATURAL EFFECT: Glossier Lash Slick Lift and Lengthening Mascara, £20, Space NK This is as subtle as it sounds – more weightless than your typical mascara thanks to tiny one- and two-millimetre long fibres that it sticks to your lashes. You apply it just like a normal mascara and brush through, plus it can also be removed with warm water. £20 Shop FOR DRAMATIC LIFT: Westman Atelier Eye Want You Mascara in Clean Le Brun, £42, Cult Beauty From the mind of Gucci Westman, a high profile celebrity make-up artist and previous Artistic Director at both Lancome and Revlon, this mascara is a real overachiever -which it should be for the price. It has a tapered tip to allow reaching tiny lashes in the corners of your eyes, a creamy formula filled with carnauba and she butter to avoid flaking and help condition, and is highly pigmented for a rich payoff. Plus it has no nasties like silicones, parabens, phthalates, fragrance or talc. Westman Atelier Eye Want You Mascara £42 Shop FOR EXTREME DEFINITION: Sculpted by Aimee My Mascara in Brown, £18, The wand on this is ever so slightly curved for the perfect amount of curl without having to use eyelash curlers. The back of the wand has a really effective comb on it to help define and seek out any lumps – no wonder one sells every second. Sculpted by Aimee My Mascara £18 Shop To get more of what you love from your favourite Sunday supplement, follow us on Instagram (@youmagazine), Facebook (YOU Magazine) and X (@YOUMagSocial).

14 Summer-Ready Tinted Moisturisers for Easy, Breezy Skin
Breathe easy with tinted moisturisers that offer great hydration, sun protection, and natural-looking coverage in one Ditch the heavy skincare layers this season and opt for a tinted moisturiser that hydrates, protects, and evens out your skin in one easy step instead. We've rounded up the best summer-ready options to keep you glowing without the fuss. Tarte Maracuja Tinted Hydrator Available in 20 shades, the Tarte Maracuja Tinted Hydrator offers light to medium coverage with a natural, radiant finish. The creamy formula is easy to blend and buildable, effectively blurring discolouration while maintaining a healthy glow. One layer offers a semi-opaque veil, while a second can camouflage breakouts. Although the glowy finish isn't greasy, those with very oily skin might find it too luminous. Packed with hyaluronic acid and maracuja oil, this hydrator delivers intense moisture, leaving skin plump, smooth, and crease-resistant throughout the day. Hourglass Veil Hydrating Skin Tint Foundation This light coverage skin tint from Hourglass comes in 18 shades and provides a radiant, dewy finish. Cruelty-free and exceptionally hydrating, it claims to boost moisture levels by up to 52%, which testers confirmed after experiencing all-day hydration.
