Twist, swipe, blend. Getting picture-perfect has never been easier thanks to a new crop of makeup sticks.
First, lipstick crayons flooded drugstore aisles—and our makeup bags. How, beauty brands are reimagining even more products—colour corrector, contour cream, foundation and highlighter—as smart twistable sticks. Swipe your pick to make cheekbones pop, add a hit of blush or conceal a lack of shut-eye. The precision of a stick means getting a perfect application is easier, plus the products are more convenient to stash. No brush required? That's something we'll stick up for.
