I realize that we have already talked about Fenty Beauty and the amazing Gloss Bomb that is a must-buy. BUT I also need to talk about our girl RiRi’s amazing Fenty Match Stix Shimmer Skinstick.
First let me start by saying you must have seen a good IG make up tutorial by now … and we always see that finishing touch of highlighter right before the lipstick followed by that final squinty eye, pouty lip pose. (And yes, some of my fellow make-up enthusiasts are going a bit too far with the highlights. But we all have to admit, it’s still pretty freaking glorious! It’s like being kissed by angels or dusted by fairies. No make-up kit should go without a good highlighter. Which brings me back to Fenty…
This Match Stix is a must! I have been using it since I bought it and from some of our IG posts you can definitely see that this girl is lit up! Here’s what I love about it:
- Easy to put on
- You can use a little or a lot
- Blends well
- Cruelty free
BUT the big win for both Nals and I, is that it’s not just another highlighter for the lighter skin tones. This Match Stix comes in 10 shades! I bought Starstruck but I need to get Trippin for my bronzed summer look. I think I have convinced Nals to give them a go too! And I’m not sure if you noticed, but these Match Stix Shimmer Skinsticks will stick together (you gotta check it out to know what I mean).
I’m not newbie to highlighters and I do have others, like my Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder in Luminous Light. I really like this powder, too. It feels good, it’s vegan and comes in 6 shades. I feel that this powder doesn’t pack the punch that the Match Stix does, so I use it for lunch out with
friends, and not a night out. The big difference however, is the price. You can grab a Fenty Match Stix for $25 or the Hourglass Powder for $55.
I recommend both. It’s just a question on what you are willing to spend and the look you are going for.
