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. Obtainable in $18 shade picks you may simply swipe these on as an throughout basis or use them a darker shade to contour with.
As you understand I’m an enormous swipe, mix, and go woman! I really like that stick foundations appear to creating their approach again into the make-up world for the Spring 2025 season. The Maybelline Lifter Stix isn’t the one new basis stick in the marketplace Milani additionally dropped a brand new Conceal + Good Blur Out Pores and skin Tint which I’m loving a the second. Though, I don’t suppose they’re actually attempting to carry again basis sticks however extra about doing a Fenty Magnificence Match Stix type of dupe I suppose.
Let’s check out my assessment 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 conventional flat high however has dome form just like the Moist n Wild MegaGlo Make-up Stick Blush. I feel this shade is moderately good because it matches the contours of your face much more simply than a flat stick does. As compared, Milani’s Conceal + Good Blur Out Pores and skin Tint is a bit bigger in dimension and priced a little bit greater 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 little bit in your pores and skin as you apply it. That being stated, I didn’t really feel it adhered to drier areas on my face nor did it cling to these areas. It had a pleasant, delicate 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 count on tremendous protection from it. You possibly can construct it properly however for those who’re used to carrying extra full protection you gained’t get it from these sticks. This can be a light-weight, sheerer basis that brightens, eases dullness, and can cover 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 it is a categorized as one in all their “heat” shades. The impartial shades form 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 supreme undertone however oh nicely! As I discussed above this offered mild protection to even out my complexion, brighten it a little bit bit, and eased dullness. However I wouldn’t depend on it for heavy obligation protection. I’m discover with the protection offered as I don’t like nor put on full protection basis and that is the right breathable, mild, pure look I like. Plus it’s straightforward apply! Swipe, mix, go!
I do suppose 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 suppose Milani does a pleasant method. This wanted to be a little bit extra creamier. I’ll fortunately use this now however I doubt I’d repurchase it sooner or later.
