5 Reasons Why The Internet Is Obsessed With THESE Makeup Sticks
It’s not every day that the internet agrees on something, especially when it comes to makeup. So, when I kept hearing about Ogee’s Complexion Stick and Contour Sticks popping up everywhere, I had to check them out. Could these sleek little sticks actually be as life-changing as everyone says?
For once, the hype is 100% deserved. Here are five reasons why these makeup sticks deserve all the buzz.
1. They deliver the perfect no-makeup-makeup look
If you’ve ever chased the elusive “effortless” makeup look, you know it’s not always so, well, effortless. Well, with the Contour Sticks it’s not that difficult. They’re sheer, hydrating, and give your skin just the right amount of glow without looking overdone.
I used it to highlight my cheekbones, brow bones, and even the bridge of my nose, and the results were stunning. Plus it was easier (and way less time consuming) to use these sticks compared to sifting through piles of makeup to achieve the same results.
2. They simplify your makeup/beauty routine
Gone are the days of juggling a dozen products for the perfect look. The Contour Sticks add an instant glow, while the Complexion Stick evens out your skin tone, all in just a few swipes. No brushes, no fuss. Of course, if you prefer tools, Ogee’s Blender Brush is a great option, but I found my fingers worked just fine for blending on the go.
Speaking of on-the-go, the stick format is incredibly convenient. I toss them in my bag for touch-ups or use them when I’m rushing out the door.
3. Skincare-based but still delivers pro-level makeup looks
Alright, the Complexion Stick is essentially a tinted moisturizer on a stick. It’s hydrating, breathable, and blurs imperfections like a dream. Redness? Balanced. Uneven tone? Smoothed. And all without feeling like you’re wearing a heavy layer of product.
One swipe gives you a natural, second-skin finish perfect for everyday wear. Need more coverage for a night out? Simply layer it up, this stick builds beautifully without caking. It’s so versatile that I even used it as a concealer in a pinch, and it worked like magic.
4. They’re packed with skin-loving ingredients
Both sticks are formulated with organic, cruelty-free ingredients that actually work to improve your complexion.
The Complexion Stick is enriched with Pracaxi Seed Oil and Hyaluronic Acid to hydrate and support collagen production. Meanwhile, the Contour Sticks contain Green Coffee Oil to boost collagen and Sal Tree Resin to refine pores.
After a few weeks of using these two, I’ve noticed a difference in my skin’s appearance. It looks…how do I say this? Healthy!
5. They’re versatile and totally worth the investment
This might or might not be how you use them, but it works for me, so I’ll share. The Contour Sticks aren’t just for your face; it works beautifully as a subtle eyeshadow or even as a glow enhancer for your collarbones and shoulders. And the Complexion Stick doubles as a contour stick when you use a deeper shade, making it the ultimate multitasker.
The price comes in at $48 for the Contour Stick and $52 for the Complexion Stick. You can also get the Contour Trio, their bestseller, for $115, which gives you 3 Contour Sticks for a fraction of the price you’d pay for each individually.
I’ll admit they’re a bit of a splurge. But a little goes a long way and you can use them for practically anything, so these sticks are a worthwhile investment. Plus, knowing they’re packed with clean, sustainable ingredients makes me feel like I’m getting my money’s worth.
Thank you, internet—this is one trend I’m happy to join
I’ve been burned by beauty trends before, but these Ogee sticks are the real deal. They’ve streamlined my routine, elevated my look, and actually improved my skin along the way.
If you’ve been seeing these all over your feed and wondering if they’re worth it, take it from me: they are. The internet got this one right. Finally.
