7 Best Cream Foundations For Long Lasting Coverage That Doesn't Melt Off

The Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation Stick has been an OG cream-based stick foundation for years. It features insane coverage and covers even the most pesky acne scars. It is formulated with a unique transparent base that  has a blend of emollients like olive extract and shea butter which help in keeping the skin moisturised. These also give a certain slip to the product which helps in blending it with ease and gives a skin-like finish to your base.

This innovative cream-to powder formula glides onto skin as a soft, creamy emulsion with a lightweight, transformative texture that sets matte. Light-diffusing properties soften lines to create a fresh, flawless texture for all skin types while letting your skin feel moisturised up to twelve hours. The coverage is medium but can be easily built up if you like but we would suggest going light-handed with it to avoid cake faced makeup.

Kryolan is one of those OG heavy-duty makeup brands that has been around for years and was indispensable in our mom's vanity back in the day. Till date, pro MUAs use the brand's trusty Supracolor cream foundation for correcting skin concerns like acne scars, active acne, dark circles, sun spots, pigmentation and basically anything that requires full coverage. This one's for special days when you want to cover (and mattify) certain troubled areas on the skin before going in with a sheer foundation or skin tint and not for applying all over your face. Also, if you have extremely dry skin, get the Kryolan Dermacolor Camouflage Cream instead of the  Supracolor.

Buying from Makeup Revolution is honestly a bit of a hit or miss at times but their Fast Base Stick Foundation is actually a great pick if you have dry skin and are looking for a cream foundation stick that gives you a dewy skin-like finish. The easy-to-apply stick formula melts into the skin and blends seamlessly to leave a fresh and dewy finish. You can even opt for it in a darker shade (or simply get the sets available on Nykaa) for contouring purposes since it blends like a dream and doesn't cling to dry skin patches whatsoever.

Ilana Soft Blur Cream works as your heavy duty concealer cum foundation that covers everything. The pan packaging makes it a breeze to carry in your makeup pouch as it doesn't occupy much space and is also easy to apply with fingers, brushes or a beauty blender, whatever you prefer. The thick velvety texture gives you great coverage and sun protection too (it has an SPF of 50). Do make a note that it isn't as hydrating as other options and may feel a little heavy if you slap on a heavy quantity at once.

The MUFE stick foundation was every beauty YouTuber's holy-grail cream foundation pick back in the day. The high coverage it gives to the skin is quite nice since it mimics the finish of natural skin and gives a dewy finish. However, you might want to give this one a miss if your skin isn't extremely parched since its very luminous and might need a lot of setting powder to stay put on your face all day long.
