Last Friday at the Sephora Fall Press Day, there were plenty of mesmerising things (just see this video). There were plenty of droolworthy palettes (the BECCA x Chrissy Teigen one has only just hit Sephora Singapore!!!) and promising-looking skincare (Blithe has an upcoming makeup remover made with pink Himalayan sea salt that smells like a dream). But there were some more unassuming-looking products that caught our eye as well:
This arm of luscious swatches belongs to Nudestix co-founder Taylor Frankel, who was showing off the new Nudie All Over Face Colour Matte Sticks.
From left to right: the Nudie All Over Face Colour Matte Sticks in Deep Maple, Eh; Bondi Bae; Naughty N’ Spice; In The Nude; Bare Back. $45, available at Sephora.
The five shades are all nudes, which is really no surprise there, and it’s a creamy formula that has a matte finish. What you’re supposed to do is apply the stick directly to wherever on your face you want the colour, which can include the cheeks, lips, and eyes, and then dab with your fingers to blend, or stipple with the built-in brush on the other end.
Taylor herself was wearing one of the peachy shades on her eyes, cheeks and lips – she told us this monochrome face look is all the rage these days. Of course we’re down for a look like that, because the fewer number of steps and products in our makeup routine, the better.
If we had to pick a shade, it would definitely be the peachy In The Nude, because we’ve recently taken a liking to how orangey hues – when used in moderation, and in matte finishes – can really liven up the complexion.
These Nudies have seriously inspired us to pare down the number of makeup products we used to colour our face, and switch to these multitasking sticks instead. While Nudestix’s relatively new offerings are really enticing, the other brands have quite a few options that are right down our alley as well.
NARS Matte Multiple in Mauratanie, $60; 3CE Creamy Cheek Stick in Sweet Apricot, $34; CHANEL Les Beiges Healthy Glow Colour Stick in No. 24 Corail, $70 (launching 15 June); ETUDE HOUSE Play 101 Stick in #12, $24.
