In this video I’m testing the super cheap Sheglam Foundation Stick from Shein that’s under a fiver, because you lot know I love a bargain but I’m not going to pretend something’s amazing just because it’s viral. I do a full face using the stick as my base and talk you through how it applies, how quickly I can blend it out, and what the finish actually looks like on real skin (especially if you’ve got dryness like me). I’m paying attention to coverage, whether it clings to texture, and if it’s the kind of product that’s going to behave around the areas that usually go wrong. I also chat through the overall wear and whether it feels like a hidden gem or just a “cheap for a reason” moment. If you’ve been tempted by Sheglam because TikTok’s hyping it up, this is basically my honest “is it worth it?” test—no fluff. You’ll come away knowing what to expect from a £5 stick foundation, who I think it might suit, and whether I’d actually bother reaching for it again compared to other affordable bases.
