HOW TO APPLY
- Start with moisturized skin.
- Warm the stick on the back of your hand for a few seconds.
- Pick up the product with a dense brush, like our Complexion Brush, and press it into the skin. You'll use less this way.
- Build only where you want more.
- For a blemish or dark spot, press the stick directly onto it.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. The BASMA Foundation Stick is formulated to melt into the skin rather than sit on top of it, so it doesn't settle into fine lines or emphasize texture. The hydrating, balm-like formula stays flexible on the skin rather than drying down, which is what causes most foundations to crease around the eyes, mouth, and nasolabial folds.
Yes. The BASMA Foundation Stick was formulated for dry and sensitive skin — founder Basma Hameed has very dry skin herself, and her sister, who has rosacea, was part of the testing process. It won't cling to dry patches or emphasize flakiness.
For best results, apply to moisturized skin so the formula has something to melt into. It's fragrance-free, dermatologist-tested, and works on dry, combination, oily, and sensitive skin.
Yes. The BASMA Foundation Stick builds from sheer to full coverage, and stays weightless at every level. Founder Basma Hameed wears it as a full-coverage foundation. Start with a small amount and build only where you want more — even at full coverage it looks like skin rather than makeup.
No. The BASMA Foundation Stick is formulated not to oxidize or shift colour throughout the day. The shade you apply in the morning is the shade you're wearing hours later.
Yes. The BASMA Foundation Stick is designed not to settle into fine lines, emphasize texture, or cling to dry patches - the three things that make foundation read as ageing. It stays weightless however much coverage you build, and the hydrating formula suits skin that has become drier or more sensitive over time.
