Firstly I'll briefly touch on the primer sticks. These cost £6.99 each and are available in 'Original' and 'Anti-Redness'. They are solid primers that glide over the skin to provide a base for foundation.
Next is the All Night Long Full Coverage Concealer. I haven't got round to trying these yet but have heard great things! It costs £4.49 and is available in six shades: Milk, Oatmeal, Cookie, Almond, Waffle and Hazelnut. It is a liquid concealer with an applicator wand.
The product from the range I'm going to be focusing on is the All Night Long Medium Coverage Foundation. This costs £6.99 and is available in eight shades, which are all said to be buildable: Milk, Cashew, Oatmeal, Cookie, Almond, Waffle, Fudge and Hazelnut.
There aren't a huge amount of shades available but it does cover a range of skin tones. I struggled to choose which suited me best so tried both Cookie and Almond together. I've never tried a stick foundation before and wasn't too sure how to go about using this formula - so I just applied it directly to my face and blended with a sponge.
At first use I didn't think the coverage was great, however, it does state it is medium and buildable coverage so it would probably take a couple of layers if you like a fuller coverage. The finished look is more natural. I'd also try applying it with the primer as my skin is quite dry and I found it more effective to blend it with a damp sponge.
The foundation sticks can also be used for contouring and highlighting too - just use one either a couple of shades darker or lighter than your usual skin tone.
While I don't think I'll use this as my daily foundation I'll keep it in my handbag for touch-ups on the go as the stick format makes it easy to apply and really handy for travelling.
