Are you tired of collecting an excess of container upon container of makeup and the corresponding brushes to maintain your everyday look? How about the immense number of advertisements that consistently tell women that in order to be beautiful, we must camouflage our faces under a veil or products on a daily basis? One company is changing this paradigm: Nudestix.
This refreshing cosmetic line is easy to use and consists primarily of on expertly developed makeup crayons to create a natural look with a pop of a color. Nudestix was inspired by the habits of the millennial daughters of Jenny Frankel, a Toronto- based chemical engineer and former MAC Cosmetics product developer. According to CosmesticsMag.com, “ (Jenny Frankel) was surprised to realize their (millennial) beauty behavior defied her expectations as an industry veteran: they had zero interest in brash shades or tricky application techniques (1).” Hence, no fuss makeup that enhances your natural features.
I read about Nudestix a couple of months ago and was intrigued at the prospect of paring down my makeup drawer and cosmetic bag. I immediately went online to Sephora and ordered two of the all in one lip/cheek pencils. When the products arrived I watched a short and very cool video featuring Jenny’s daughters’, Taylor and Ally, explaining how to use the crayons (seriously, no brushes!). I found that the product went on smoothly and provided my skin with the perfect amount of color. I was so impressed, that I made a special trip to a Sephora when I was on holiday in Vancouver, BC and acquired the balance of items to complete the items I needed for my complete daily look.
One of the benefits I have found with this line is that it is easy to apply while on the go and due to the small size of the crayons; they are easy to pack in my daily tote or leave in my tack trunk. My active lifestyle involves running, hot yoga and spending time at the stable. My skin routine therefore mandates that I constantly clean my face throughout the day and reapply moisturizer and sunscreen. In just a few seconds, I can enahnce my natural features using Nudestix on my lips, cheeks and eyes for a pop of color. Nudestix is a perfect cosmetic line for an effortless look without the fuss.
