Are all stick foundations heavy coverage? I was checking out Bobbie Brown yesterday, and they said it is their heaviest coverage. It just seems like a stick would be so EASY, but I'd like something a little more natural.

Yes, I'd say they're the heaviest (sticks are). You have a few options though to control coverge:
*put a moisturizer on first and then apply the foundation on top before the moisturizer absorbs in
*apply the foundation with a brush
*use a tinted moisturizer instead

my skin is clear n i just wanted something because i tend to get red easily. cream foundation, my understanding, is for dry skin, or skin that has some acne scarring, since it so heavy. thanks to youtube :love4: i found out how to use Studio Tech to give me light coverage- i just pat some of it on with a foundation brush and spread it with a triangle wedge misted with fix +. it seriously looks really natural and my skin is looking flawless! i always wonder what girls did to get that perfect looking skin.
this is not the 'simple solution' i was hoping for. but i think i could incorporate it to my routine.

this was one of my deciding factors.

So I tried this method...and it worked! Of course I just wet a sponge with tap water to sheer out the Studio Tech. It's medium to full coverage for sure. With concealer and powder applied, I looked (almost) airbrushed, and my skin looked pretty much flawless. HOWEVER, I've decided that this is not a look I want for myself daily. If I'm going to an event and want to look perfectly perfect and totally matte, sure. I think I like the dewier look I sport daily with tinted moisturizer.
