Make-Up Sex
Sorting through our makeup drawers and we’ve all had that moment where we realize we have dozens, maybe even hundreds of products but we only use the same four or five. Our usual rotation of the same eye palette, bronzer and lipstick make up our daily makeup routine. We shop the makeup counter at Nordstrom and order next-day delivery from Sephora but in the end we never stray from our everyday go-to selection. Well, what if we told you that one item could replace even those “go-to” four or five items? Yes, an all-in-one stick that creates a bronzed look for your eyes, face and lips. Enter NudeStix.
The NudeStix “Nudies Matte” balm in shade ‘Beach Babe’ comes packaged in a small black tin with a lid that doubles as a mirror as well. What caught our attention right away was how light the package felt in our hands, it felt like we were holding a Chapstick in our palm. Open the tin and our new favorite product is revealed and we weren’t far off when we said it felt like holding Chapstick, the 3-in-1 balm is not much larger than, well, Chapstick. Our shade of choice is ‘Beach Babe’ and it's a rosy bronze shade that delivers a creamy consistency but actually dries matte! Another feature we love about this 3-in-1 is that the applicator is a 2-in-1 as well. Yes, the balm itself and at the other end is a dense, compact brush for easy blending.
“I believe all women are pretty without makeup – but with the right makeup can be pretty powerful.” – Bobbi Brown
Applying the NudeStix on our eyelids and the first thing we notice is how smooth the balm is. It glides with ease without feeling greasy and when we use the built-in brush to blend the product it turns to a matte finish. We also like to apply a bit of the color under our eyes to create a smokey effect. The same result is achieved when we apply it to our cheeks. A non-slip, non-greasy finish that creates a naturally warm and lit-from-within look in seconds. The Nudies Matte collection has five shades that complement all skin tones but our ‘Beach Babe’ selection can function as a blush or a bronzer depending on the look you want to achieve. Finishing our au naturel monochromatic look we apply the balm on our lips and we love that it doesn’t have the same matte finish but instead its sheer (but buildable) and moisturizing.
This product is the definition of “multipurpose.” It is easy to use, can be applied for a day or night look and it's easy to stash in your purse or to even bring on a trip with limited space for makeup. In addition to all of these great qualities that we have listed, all of NudeStix products are:
● Vegan
● Gluten-Free
● Cruelty-Free
● Fragrance-Free
● Does NOT contain: sulfates, parabens and phthalates.
Does purchasing a Nudies Matte stick from NudeStix guarantee that you won’t continue to scale the internet for more cosmetic products? No, but we do guarantee that throwing this product into your everyday rotation will save you time, drawer space and highlight your best features every time.
