it depends, mehron has a lot of different makeup. i use the sticks. grease paint can give you an allergic reaction even if you don't think you are allergic, as well as stay in your pores, as well as just melt right off your face.
white is always a tricky makeup because you have to layer it, and even then it can look streaky. what you do is take a page out of the geisha's makeup book and use a makeup sponge and just keep dabbing and dabbing everything so it is a uniform color.
then smear it. haha...
