ILIABeauty Multi-Stick - In the Mood For Women 0.15 oz Makeup

Ilia multi sticks are so good. If you're seeking a product that is minimal makeup wear and something you could use on care skin without foundation (or with), this is it. because these sticks are more like face balm than a liquid pigment l, they give a nice glow and moisturizer the face. I use the bronze one for contour and one of the pink and peach shades on my cheeks and the highlighter. And if I just used those on my bare skin without anything else it would be good. Because it's face balm the color ends up a bit more sheer on the face but it is buildable and bendable. And usually a swipe or two doesn't even require blending or buffing to look good (though I still do that).Plus NO WHERE yet have I found another shade that is comparable to the shade tenderly which is the PERFECT blush pink neutral that makes your skin look flushed and youthful. (The closest so far is the she glam blush in the shade love cake, but that applies more like th said dew blush and is sort of a different animal) I find them worth the price because I just haven't found anything so far I like better. I find with ilia there are two components, formula and color. Color being the harder to replicate because of the way their colors go on. I tried the saie dew blushes and the saie sculpting blushs. They were cool but I just prefer the way these are applied and the sheerness with which they go on. Saie is much more pigmented in its formula and how it goes on and is applied is a different thing. Ilia is more Dewey and also is oil based (I think it's shae butter based...again it's a face balm) where as saie dew blush is more dry once applied. It's more for the color. If you're seeking highly pigmented, more dry once applied and all day color wear , and you tend to wear a heavier foundation, these will probably not be your thing.With these multi sticks I don't need any other tool to make it look great. It almost needs no blending and often I find blending with my fingers is better than with a brush. (Again think of these like a face balm and not just a liquid pigment)... Which is a plus for me. They look so natural and flushed.My absolute go to color is tenderly. I have yet to find a better light neutral pink wash.My tenderly stick lasted me close to a year, mind you, I'm not an every day makeup wearer.So yes, it is higher in price. But it's worth it to me. If you're seeking more highly pigmented liquid/cream blush , try saie dew blush. Keep in mind tho these can be very pigmented when you build.If you're a no makeup , minimal , and beginner makeup person I think you will love these. Grab the shade in the city for contouring, cosmic dancer for highlighting, tenderly for blush and maybe a 4th blush color you want to try and you'll have an easy makeup kit that takes less than 5 min to put on.

This is the 2nd time I've purchased ILIA's multi-stick and I'm not one who reorders makeup unless I reaaallly love it. This stick is so versatile. I do find that the darker colors seem to last for me a little longer. But it is so easy to apply and then I just blend with my fingers. The colors to me are very natural and give my cheeks a dewy glow without any cakiness.

I was really looking forward to using this multi-stick because it checks all the boxes—non-toxic, vegan, and cruelty-free. The color is absolutely stunning, and it works beautifully on both my lips and cheeks. It’s creamy, easy to blend, and gives such a natural glow.However, my excitement quickly faded when the product arrived dirty. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get a replacement or a refund, which was really disappointing. It’s frustrating because the product itself seems great, but the experience with receiving it in poor condition and not being able to resolve the issue left a sour taste.

The absolute best blush I have ever used. Going in great and blends very well for a very natural look!

I use this as blush, eye shadow and lip color. It's very pretty and convenient
