These creamy $32 sticks do a bit of everything. Fortnite for mac. They’re like blushes, contouring products and highlighting sticks in one. Kinda sorta like MAC’s version of the NARS Multiples (except not explicitly recommended for use on your lips and eyes), they’ve been available for while, and MAC says they’re for use all over your face. The 6 MAC QuikTrik Sticks I’ve only used them as blushes and for highlighting so far, so if you’ve used them on your lips and eyes, please let me know how it’s gone for you. They’re super creamy, super soft, easy to blend, and they look a little dewy on the skin, right? They’ve got that glow happening that I love.

It depends on which MAC foundation you pick, NC45 can vary wildly across the different types (pro longwear, studio sculpt, etc). I would look up swatches of the NC45 foundation you think you match the best and then put that into the color IQ search.

The formula stays a bit — gosh, what’s the right word? I don’t want to say “wet,” so I’ll just say “creamy” instead. It stays creamy for an hour or so before completely drying down, and that makes them easy to blend. Of course, if they dried down to a powder more quickly, they would probably last longer On my combination skin, without anything else on top of them, they last between 4-6 hours, which isn’t bad. You could probably also extend that by layering a powder product on top and, depending on what you used, still keep the shine. For instance, you could add a powder blush with a sheen or a highlighter with a sheen or sparkle. But that’s if you’re hardcore.

Aww, thank you, Katie! I know fall/winter is usually the season o’ matte skin but I love a dewy highlight. 🙂 So, brows! I’m doing a multi-step process these days. First, I do a layer of Benefit Brow Conditioner to give what I layer on top something to grab onto. Then I fill in my sparse spots with MAC Brun Eyeshadow applied with a stiff, flat eyeshadow brush and/or MAC Brun Brow Brow Sculpt. Legacy mac software. After that, a layer of Benefit Ready, Set Brow Clear Brow Gel to help freeze everything into place (LOL!
