Nude Just Got Better

You should’ve seen how excited I was when NUDESTIX landed on my desk.

I’ve been lusting after NUDESTIX for a while, and thanks to the glam gals at 27Pinkx, you don’t have feel deprived, since they now stock this amazing brand in South Africa! YAY

Okay, okay, so why the hype?

The entire line is all about perfecting a natural face. Less is more! NUDESTIX is all about adding a touch of colour here and there to bring out your natural beauty.

Minimal makeup, maximum impact!

The founder of NUDESTIX is no stranger to the beauty biz. A Chemical Engineer with over 20 years experience; Jenny Frankel created this brand earlier in 2014, with her daughters Ally and Taylor as Ambassadors. Word has it that she was one of the creators of M.A.C Lipglass among other things.

But ya, let me tell you why I’m so thrilled with it…

It’s a simple collection of makeup with a variety of multipurpose crayons or pencils. The entire line comes in a “stick” format, which for me is genius, since you can really keep your makeup collection compact, yet effective.

Concealers, Lip Pencils, Cheek Pencils, Eye Pencils, Magnetic Eye Colours (read creamy eyeshadow) are all available. The only two products that don’t come in a “crayon” is their mascara and the lip pen, but they are still super slim pencil style products.

If you travel a lot, then this range is your BFF!

No spilling out in your travel bag, no mess, no fuss and you can really pack in a whole lot of product without overloading your travel bag.

I got to sample their magnetic eye pencil and their multipurpose Lip & Cheek Pencil and I’m hooked!

Both products are creamy and blend like a dream. They are soft and gorgeous and they go a long way in enhancing your “natural” makeup look.

PLUS, they are waterproof. So need to worry about summer makeup meltdown or looking like a drowned racoon after a swim.

I have greasy lids that tend to crease, so I usually need to apply primer before eyeshadow (except with Chanel and YSL shadows, go figure). But I’ve been quite impressed with the NUDESTIX Magnetic EyeShadow. It lasted throughout the day without creasing, no primer necessary.

I applied the pencil on my upper lash line, then over the lid and used my finger tip to blend out the shadow into the crease. That’s the other thing I love about NUDESTIX, no brushes necessary.

I also tried out the NUDESTIX Lip + Cheek Pencil and think it’s a really nice duo product. A lot of lip crayons are too “thick” for blush (so they don’t blend well) and cream blushes are too sticky for lips. I like my lips to look pouty but I hate gooey, filmy lips.

This product works well both on the cheeks and lips. On the cheeks it blends out like nobody’s business, allowing you to achieve a flawless glow. And it saturates the lips with moisturising colour. The colour didn’t last too long on my lips, but I can only think of four lipsticks that actually do last, so it’s no biggie for me.

It feels really nice on the lips and I kinda dig the colour BLUSH for “nude” lips on my olive skin tone.

Each product comes beautifully packaged in it’s own little branded tin (that could probably hold about six NUDESTIX’s), and a fancy-schmancy sharpener.

What makes this sharpener fancy is that when you remove the lid from your crayon, you can use back of the sharpener as a lid with the sharpener attached..

This is another great feature for keeping NUDESTIX in your handbag, gym bag or travel bag, or if you really suck at trying to find your sharpeners.

I love this brand and definitely want to get my hands on their eye pencils and concealer, and perhaps add two more Magnetic Eye Colour crayons to my collection that I can take with me on hols for a “full look”.
