Nudestix is the kind of effortless, no-nonsense beauty product that is just right up my street. The brand ethos is to promote natural, effortless beauty, and that natural is the way to go for the modern woman. Nudestix is a pencil/crayon format cosmetics, which are easy to carry around and cater for all your makeup needs; from concealer to eyeshadow stick to lip pencil to cheek stain.
Being generally obsessed with nude lipsticks, it comes as no surprise that Nudestix Lip and Cheek pencils immediately caught my attention. Nudestix pencils come packaged in a black metal box with a mirror on the inside of the lid, handy for application on the go. Inside the box, there’s also a pencil sharpener, which is another bonus point to always have it ready whenever you need to sharpen your pencil, and not having to always search endlessly for one.
In terms of formula, these Nudestix Lip and Cheek pencils are just a dream to use. They come in regular and intense matte formulas, both are equally comfortable to wear, which is not a surprise as the products are filled with antioxidant ingredients and enriched with vitamins and moisturisers . The pencils are very pigmented and long-wearing, the quality equal to most high-end lipsticks out there. And they work just as well for your cheeks, very easy to blend and gives a pretty and long-lasting flush of colour to your complexion. I picked up four shades in Purity, Belle, Mystic and Sin.
Purity is an intense matte formula in a tawny brown nude, which is your quintessential 90’s shade. Despite being a matte formula, it’s incredibly easy to apply and not at all drying. This is a very wearable shade for everyday, or when you want to feel a bit more put together and slightly formal.
Belle is another intense matte formula, in a light coral pink nude. This is your typical nude shade, which is a shade lighter than my lips colour, so it’s very brightening and very flattering for everyday wear. I love wearing this just on it own on casual days, or sometimes mix with Purity to deepen the colour a little.
Mystic is a regular formula, which is super creamy and moisturising. The shade is taupey-pink, which almost matches my natural lips colour and perfect to whack on at anytime during the day, as it goes with everything. Because the formula is so creamy and moisturising, it can even double up as a lip balm. This has been a staple item to carry around with in my makeup bag.
Sin is probably the most colourful one out of the bunch. It’s a muted berry pink shade, in the regular formula. I love wearing this if I’m going out in the evening, it’s a softer variation of your usual red lips. Sin is also great to mix with other more neutral shades, just to give you a little extra something something.
Overall I’m definitely a big fan of Nudestix. I love that it is a multipurpose product that actually ‘works’. There are many similar products out there that claim to be multipurpose but actually only work well as one product and pretty wishy-washy as another. Nudestix also gain another brownie point from me for being so convenient to use, to carry around, an all round good egg in my opinion.
Have you tried Nudestix?
