Maybelline Lifter Stix Multi-Use Face Stick ($12.99) is a brand new light-weight basis stick which launched with the Maybelline Spring 2025 Assortment that can be utilized to contour and sculpt your face. Accessible in $18 shade choices you may simply swipe these on as an throughout basis or use them a darker shade to contour with.
As you recognize I’m an enormous swipe, mix, and go woman! I really like that stick foundations appear to creating their manner again into the make-up world for the Spring 2025 season. The Maybelline Lifter Stix isn’t the one new basis stick available on the market Milani additionally dropped a brand new Conceal + Excellent Blur Out Pores and skin Tint which I’m loving a the second. Though, I don’t assume they’re actually attempting to deliver again basis sticks however extra about doing a Fenty Magnificence Match Stix type of dupe I assume.
Let’s check out my overview and swatches of the brand new Maybelline Lifter Stix Multi-Use Face Stick beneath.
Maybelline Lifter Stix Multi-Use Face Stick in a nude plastic barrel with a transparent high which lets you view the shade simply. It swivels up and down simply and holds 0.21 oz of basis for round $10-$13 relying the place you buy it. The muse doesn’t have a standard flat high however has dome form just like the Moist n Wild MegaGlo Make-up Stick Blush. I feel this shade is relatively good because it suits the contours of your face much more simply than a flat stick does. Compared, Milani’s Conceal + Excellent Blur Out Pores and skin Tint is a bit bigger in measurement and priced a bit increased as nicely. You get 0.28 oz for $17. So far as texture and method I believed Milani’s was the higher method.
Maybelline hasn’t actually absolutely disclosed the end they’re going for with these sticks however I believed it was a drier matte. Milani’s model can also be matte however felt a bit extra creamier and fewer dry. I additionally thought that Milani’s model had extra pigment.
Maybelline’s method is a drier cream method that does drag a bit in your pores and skin as you apply it. That being mentioned, I didn’t really feel it adhered to drier areas on my face nor did it cling to these areas. It had a pleasant, smooth end. I do want it was a bit creamier however I feel that dryness does assist it to last more as I felt this wore fairly lengthy for a sheerer stick basis at round seven hours. It isn’t terribly pigmented so don’t anticipate tremendous protection from it. You may construct it properly however in the event you’re used to carrying extra full protection you gained’t get it from these sticks. It is a light-weight, sheerer basis that brightens, eases dullness, and can conceal smaller imperfections.
I obtained the shade 25 and I did must guess at my shade as Maybelline doesn’t actually clarify what kind of undertones the shades have. I’m usually a lightweight medium impartial however this can be a categorized as one among their “heat” shades. The impartial shades type of skipped round as they’ve 20 which appeared to mild for me and 30 which appeared too darkish so I went with 25. It’s not an ideal match however I could make it work. The shade is a lightweight medium beige. Not my ideally suited undertone however oh nicely! As I discussed above this supplied mild protection to even out my complexion, brighten it a bit bit, and eased dullness. However I wouldn’t depend on it for heavy responsibility protection. I’m discover with the protection supplied as I don’t like nor put on full protection basis and that is the proper breathable, mild, pure look I like. Plus it’s straightforward apply! Swipe, mix, go!
I do assume that possibly make-up lovers will like this extra as a contour stick versus a basis one. It’s okay for a fast, mild make-up look however I do assume Milani does a pleasant method. This wanted to be a bit extra creamier. I’ll fortunately use this now however I doubt I’d repurchase it sooner or later.
