Another great highlighter from Fenty Beauty

This highlighter is fantastic! I often use "Starstruck" as a base for powder eyeshadow. The "Match Stick" is easy to use and glides on smoothly. The shade "Starstruck" is glam yet understated. It's the highlighter I wear most often during the day and to work.

THE BEST PRODUCT EVER

I’ve tried many similar products to this, and none can compare. The product just goes on so nicely, and looks flawless! I’ve got very tan skin, and it looks great on all shades! Bless this line:)

Fast results, sharp contour!

Fenty Beauty has seriously slayed the makeup game, and I am obsessed with the brand! Aside from that, I prefer cream contour and highlight in stick form as it’s faster, more convenient and easier to control placement. They are hard to come by, so I knew I had to try these babies out! I’ve tried a lot of different formulas, and I’d say these are the best perfect combination. Creamy, but not where the product slides all over your face. Non-drying, and blends out perfectly. I’m very satisfied with the outcome. Some contour sticks have too big of a surface area, but these ones are the perfect compromise to getting those sharp lines. I do also enjoy how they are magnetic, so they click together. There is quite a bit of product you get for your money as well, mine have lasted me for a while!

So Pretty!

I love love the trio stix. You can get it in whichever shade suits your skin colour the best. The makeup is great quality and lasts all day! I’m in love with the highlighter, it goes on so smoothly. The contour stick is awesome as well, you can decide how dark you want it and it doesn’t look caked on your face. Definitely worth the buy!

The Greatest Trio

As a contour enthusiast, I found the Match Stix Trio by Fenty Beauty to be a genius set of products! The formula blends out so easily and you don’t even need to use that much because of the amount of pigmentation. What surprised me most though, was how much I loved the highlighter. I only highlight on occasion but the Starstruck shade was so beautiful with just the right amount of glitteryness which gave off a gorgeous iridescent sheen on the skin. Also, one of the Match Stix doubles as a concealer with pretty good coverage. In regard to the contour shade, I have always loved the idea of products in stick form to help draw out the areas you want to look more withdrawn. It blends out like a dream for a really natural looking shadow

Bless. The holy grail of makeup

Her products are by far my favourite. The fenty line in general is so amazing. I bought this matchstick trio and I absolutely fell in love. It goes on so smooth, it feels like I’m wearing nothing on my face

Great Trio for Sculpting Face

Fenty Beauty products are great, but I only really like two out of the three stixs. The highlighter and bronzer complement each other, but the concealer isn't the best.

Popping Highlighter!

I recently purchased Fenty Beauty's Match Stix Shimmer Skinstick in the colour Starstruck and I absolutely fell in love with it. The formula feels nice and rich and it glides on to your skin with absolute ease. The packaging is beautiful and is magnetic so you can stick it to any other Fenty Match Stix. I love this product because it gives me just the right shine to accentuate my facial features. There is a generous amount of product and it lasts a while . I paid $31 for this at Sephora. Would definitely buy again.

Such a great product!

Before I get into the review portion of this review (hah), I believe that I should tell you a story. My boyfriend’s mom gave me a (very generous) mall giftcard for Christmas, and after weeks of avoiding the mall, I finally decided to go with my sister when she was home for her last visit. We looked at clothing, books, and some other things, but eventually we were drawn to Sephora because I absolutely needed a new contour kit. Up to this point, I’d been using the basic E.L.F. contour kit, which I really like, don’t get me wrong. But I had a gift card, and I thought that it was time to upgrade in that department. I’d already upgraded my mascara, eyeshadow, primer, etc. etc. and I had the gift card, so I had no excuse.

We went inside, and spent close to 2 hours looking around! In my defence, we spent a bit of time having our skin hydration tested, and then doing a colour ID test, so that we would know which foundations to go with in the story. I highly recommend getting both tests done, because they’re free, and they’re quick, and save you so much time in figuring out which skin care and makeup products from Sephora are best for you! Then we looked at contour sets for me, but became so lost in all of the options that we ended up asking for help from one of the employees. She was very nice and showed us a diverse variety of contour sets and options, from powder palettes, to cream sticks.

But then the time came for decision-making, and that took a while. I’d been using a dry/powder contour set before, but since my skin is combination skin, I have an issue with both oiliness and dryness. Fun. I know. So, the powder contour set probably didn’t help in the dryness department, so I started leaning more toward contour sticks. Plus, I’d been seeing them around on social media and stuff, and wanted to give them a try anyway. I think that due to the placement of the brand, the employee didn’t show us anything from the Fenty Beauty line. And I’m glad that my sister was with me, because together we came to the realization that we hadn’t even seen any of those products in person yet!

I laid my eyes on the match stix section, and fell in love. Just like with the Fenty foundations, there were so many colour options, it was amazing. We swatched a few different shades, to the point where our hands were covered in product, and I finally settled on buying one of the match stix trios, because you get 3 match stixs for a better price than you would if you were to buy 3 of them individually. I was also lucky enough to find a set that had the colours best suited to my skin tone, the “Linen,” “Amber,” “Starstruck” trio, and oh my gosh I still can’t get over how in love I am with those colours and just the product quality.

So, I had tried them on my hands while in Sephora, but once we got home with our purchases, it was time to test the stix on the skins of our faces! I cannot tell you how excited I was. The product is very easy to layer, meaning that you can keep rolling it over your skin depending on how pigmented you want your look to be. So, for example, say with the Amber for the contouring, I could do 1-2 swipes for a light shadow, maybe for a daytime look, or I could do 3-6 swipes for a darker shadow better suite for night time, low lighting, etc. Same thing applies with the concealer, depending on how much you need to conceal, and the highlighter, depending on how bright you want those sections of your face to be. You can also adjust your look depending on how much you blend the product with your fingers or with a brush.

I’m silly and didn’t take any photos of my face with the product on that didn’t have a Snapchat filter on it, but that didn’t really mess with the colouring, and I felt very pretty, haha. The product is feather-light, as is advertised, and blended extremely well. After taking about a million selfies, I also did a swatch on my arm (image below), which I think will show you more accurately how the match stix interact with my particular skin tone. In the image, I made a 1-3 swipes of the product, just to show you more pigmentation, and then in the same shade, I did 1-3 more swipes below, and blended it. I did this with all the 3 shades. The top 2 were the concealer in “Linen,” the middle 2 were the the contour stick in “Amber,” and the bottom 2 the highlighter in “Starstruck.”

I had on a base of lightly-tinted BB cream mixed with a hint of concealer for just a bit more coverage, and I also had a tiny bit of blush on. But these layers, combined with the match stix felt so light, that it was as if I was not wearing anything on my face at all! You see, that had been one of my worries when I started considering contour sticks. Because if they’re too creamy, you can kind of feel them on your face. But the Fenty stix have a cream-to-powder formula, which I think is (and feels) amazing. Also, I completely forgot to rave about the packaging of the match stix, which I think looks very simple and elegant, and the fact that the match stix are magnetized! I’d never come across another cosmetic product quite like this, and now I truly understand why the Fenty Beauty line is so sought-after, and is doing so well!

Yes hunny!

The contour shade in the Light range is amazing. I have yet to find the right cream shade for contouring until now! The concealer is also great for covering imperfections and minimizing the look of pores in those areas.

The only thing I didn't like in the collection was the shimmer as it did not have any pay off when used. This resulted in the loss in value as the set is $67 but each individual stix is ~$30. If I had found any use for the starstruck shimmer than value would have been there but unfortunately I found it to be a flop!
