At 55, I have been looking to simplify my make-up routine for a little while, and wanted something to give me a more natural look with less faffing, but had previously only seen an American product comprising of three make-up ‘sticks’ that was very expensive.
The Violet Jordan set is very good value for money by comparison, and as far as i can tell, is virtually identical.
It gives me the effect i was hoping for !
For my skin, the Dew stick is a little heavy and greasy, so I use it very sparingly and really only to blend some concealer in under my eyes as it helps with application. I don’t find I need it for moisturising beyond that, and am already happy with my long standing favourite face cream anyway …
The highlighter stick is very effective and you only need a very small amount - I use it lightly from my temples to my upper cheeks around the outside of my eye socket bones, a little on my nose and chin, and also on my eyelids.
The colour stick does have a really nice tone - it blends very well and the colour can be built if you need to by just adding a little at a time rather than in one heavy application. I also use the colour stick on my eyes sometimes too to add a little contrast.
My only slight niggle with these sticks is that they have a tendancy to be rather soft - maybe I will try keeping them in the fridge ….
Over all though I really like them, and I am pretty sure I will carry in using them in the future.
