Multi-Stick

I am MAC NC42 and I find that this requires a lot to build up on my skin tone. It also emphasised acne scars on my skin.

I must preface this review by saying that I have a very oily skin type, so normally I feel like this type of product wouldn't appeal to me. However, something possessed me to give this multistick a shot. I wanted something that was easy to throw on for low-maintenance days and that was multi-use for that fresh, effortless vibe.

As a lip color, it's beautiful. The texture is balmy and sheer, but not so much so that the color barely shows up, at least on the lips. It's hydrating, and it lasts decently well for hours before I feel the need to reapply. This is the function that the multistick is best at, in my opinion.

I was apprehensive to use this as a blush, as I wasn't sure how well it was going to mesh with other products and whether or not it would last on my skin. However I was very pleasantly surprised. It is very easy to apply with fingers or dab onto the cheeks, particularly after warming it up a bit. It gives a fresh look that I enjoy. It doesn't really last the best on my skin, but it's easy enough to touch up so this doesn't bother me. Overall it's a very nice product to use on the cheeks, for sure.

I dared to use this product on my eyes the first time I tried it because hey, YOLO. I knew it probably wouldn't work that well, but curiosity got the better of me. Just to give it the best chance of lasting well enough, I applied the color over my favorite eye primer. Honestly I found this to be really sheer for my tastes, at least as an eye color. It also creased pretty quickly, though it still technically lasted a good 6 hours or so. Overall I wouldn't really recommend this product for use on the eyes due to the short longevity.

The only thing that really bothers me about the multistick is how tiny the tube is. It seems to be about the size of a standard lipstick, but I'm supposed to use this all over the whole face? I'm sure anyone using this every single day would run through it very quickly. Personally for the price and for its purpose it should be at least 2 or 3 times the size. But I do think it's a really nice product, and I would consider purchasing this in other shades in the future.

This product was my first foray into non-powder blush and I'm sold! I have combination blemish prone skin but the multi stick stayed in place all day sans grease and hasn't caused any blemishes.

This color is also the perfect flush color that you can build if need be. My only complaint with stick-type blush is that it kind of grabs your foundation when you apply it but I now prefer the resulting look to powder blush any day.

I have pale/fair skin w/ dark blonde hair and this stick is perfect for a day at the beach & my late mornings! quick to apply & easy to touch up. feels super smooth, non greasy. its a subtle highlight that makes u look like u put in an effort but are confident. i love this and want to try more!
