How To Use A Smudge Stick Makeup

Skinn cosmetics Smudge Sticks are stubby waterproof Eye & Lip Pencils that promise to do it all – Line, smudge, shadow or color. As per Skinn, "With a water-resistant, transfer-resistant formula, Smudge Stick is perfect for lining, smudging and creating beautiful eyes and lips for a look that lasts all day, including through a dip in the pool!"

There are 10 great shades to cull from:

For Eyes
• Moonlit (Pearly champagne)
• Venus (Statuary)
• Golden Plum (Metallic Smokey Plum)
• Royal Indigo (Deepest Blue)
• Sultry Slate (Nighttime Gray)
• Egyptian Clay (Dark Dark-brown)
• Cleopatra Black (Blackest Blackness)

For Lips
• Prose (Nude Mauve Lip Shade)
• Plum Slap-up (Lip-Toned Plum)
• Whisper (Warm Cognac Lip Shade)

Let's talk most the Smudge sticks for optics outset. The formula is incredibly flossy and pigmented! The middle pencils glide on effortlessly, depositing rich color in just one swipe. The color doesn't set apace then there is plenty of time to smudge and blend if you are going for a smokey eye await. As promised, these middle pencils are truly long-lasting and the colour doesn't budge or fade all day long and stays put (even on the lower lash line without migrating and settling into the fine creases under my eyes). The color shows up well on the inner rim/waterline too and lasts well for a good 4-five hours….and no raccoon eyes!

Every bit a side annotation, although I normally don't wear any makeup while going to the gym, I tested out the smudge sticks during my i-hour Zumba session and they really stood upwardly to the sweat-proof claim! Despite beingness and so long-wearing, the formula isn't hard to remove at the end of the day and comes off easily with my usual makeup remover.

The merely drawback is that the pencils are retractable and can't be sharpened and then if you adopt a very thin line, it'due south kind of difficult to get that later on a few uses.

All the shades are lovely and very vesture, my personal favorites being Gold plum, Venus and Sultry Slate. Here are the swatches for the eye pencils :

50-R : Moonlit, Venus, Golden Plum, Imperial Indigo, Sultry Slate, Egyptian clay and Cleopatra Black

Moving on to the three lip pencils, these are just as creamy with a great color payoff. They go along very smoothly and can exist used as a liner or to fill in your lips (that's how I like to utilise these) before putting on a lipstick or lipgloss on height. If used equally a filler, these lip pencils actually intensify your lipstick/gloss colour and make it last much longer. Plum dandy is a night plum shade (very pigmented), Prose is nude pinkish and Whisper is a warm peachy-brownish.

Have a look at the swatches below :

L-R : Prose, Plum cracking and Whisper

Final Verdict I am totally hooked on to these Smudge Sticks! Not only are these amazingly pigmented, the puddle-proof formula is also heat and humidity resistant making these a summertime must-have! Pick them up for $fifteen.00 each at Skinn.com
