Sometimes, to get a flawless beat, brushes aren’t necessary. You literally have ten makeup applicators attached to your hands… use them fingers, baby. And low-key, they’re often way faster and better at blending because your body heat warms up the product and melts it right into the skin. What’s even better than using your hands to speed up your beauty routine? Using products that were designed to glide, swipe, and smudge their way to perfection with those fingers – makeup crayons.
Yes besties…crayons. It’s like using an adult coloring book, but grown and sexy. These makeup sticks are easy to use, carry, and blend. No fallout, no fuss, no “where’s my favorite brush at?” panic. Just pure, low intensity, effortless beauty. Here are some of the best makeup crayons out right now for complexion, cheeks, eyes, and a few other fun surprises.
NUDESTIX Nudies Tinted Blur
A complexion stick in crayon form? Yup! We love an unproblematic Queen. This gives skin-like coverage that looks natural, fresh, and never cakey. Place a little dab where you need it, blend with your fingers, and boom – gorgeous, natural looking.
NUDESTIX Nudies Matte All Over Face Bronze Colour
NUDESTIX wasn’t done yet; they’ve got the crayon game on lock! They also make a sun-kissed bronzer crayon. What is more fun than that? I’ll wait… These shades melt into the skin and give you that warm, healthy glow without the Oompa Loompa risk.
Make Up For Ever Artist Color Crayon Waterproof Multi-Use Stick
This one is the definition of doing the most – in the best way possible. Eyes? Yes. Cheeks? Absolutely. Lips? She got you. And the colors are fun, bold, user-friendly shades that let you play without committing to a full palette.
trestique Matte Lip Crayon + Balm
First of all, the brand spells it lowercase on purpose – I respect the vibe. Second, these shades are stunning! They feel silky on the lips, and they’re infused with balm, so they’re actually hydrating. A matte lip that doesn’t feel like sandpaper is boss behavior.
Fenty Match Stix Contour Skinstick
Speaking from experience, these go hard. I have used these on my clients, and they never miss. The shade range goes from the fairest porcelain cutie to the deepest chocolate goddess. They blend seamlessly and snatch you up like no other.
Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Cream Shadow Stick
Bobbi Brown is one of those brands that never gets it wrong. They stick to the basics and do it really well! I’ve used these for years, and they’re more reliable than a Toyota Corolla. They’re creamy, blendable, and versatile enough to use as a base or for a full eyeshadow look. They come in matte and shimmer textures, so you can go subtle or full “I’m gonna be a problem” glam.
Burt’s Bees Gloss Lip Crayon
Burt’s does more than beeswax balm really well – they struck gold with this gloss crayon. High shine gloss, lasting power, and zero mess in a pocket-sized crayon. Perfect for the girlies who want juicy lips without the sticky hair-in-your-lip-gloss drama. Just grab it and go.
Jones Road The Neutralizer Pencil
A chubby pencil that color corrects? Sign me up now! This is perfect for neutralizing darkness around the eyes, mouth, or any little area that needs brightening before foundation or concealer.
Crayons aren’t just for the kiddies anymore. They’re quick, cute, travel-friendly, and blend like a dream – especially when used with those ten applicators God attached to your hands. Go ahead and play. Your makeup bag deserves a little fun, besties!
XOXO,
Your Beauty Bestie
