Hello everyone,
The product under my radar today is from a brand know for creating its makeup from food-grade ingredients. Yes, you guessed it right, I am referring to “Bite Beauty.” It is a brand that predominantly focuses on lip products, but when they came out with these multi-purpose sticks, it got me intrigued. I heard about so many rave reviews about this product that I decided to jump onto the bandwagon and try it for myself. This multistick, as the name suggests, serves so many different purposes. It can be either used as an eyeshadow, a blush or a lipstick. I went ahead and bought the shade named “Brioche” from this multistick range. So, let’s get started with the review.
Product Description:
What it is: A multi-stick that applies like a cream and wears like a powder for weightless color application—just apply with your finger or a brush on the eyes, lips, and cheeks.
What it does:With 35 percent powder in each Multistick bullet, this silicone-free formula creates a soft focus finish that’s blendable, breathable, and buildable. It features universal shades for the eyes, lips, and cheeks that compliment all skin tones and are formulated to use anywhere on the face.
Suggested Usage:Apply Multistick to eyes and cheeks with fingers like a cream shadow or blush, or on lips like a regular lipstick.
Price:
CAD 28 plus taxes.
Ingredients:
My Experience with Bite Beauty Multistick Brioche:
Packaging: This comes in a typical Bite Beauty black lipstick packaging. It looks just like a lipstick with a twist mechanism and has a magnetic closure. The top of the stick bullet is flat and not tapered like a regular lipstick. The outer packaging is a beige cardboard box with details of the brand and the product marked in red.
Color: This particular shade, “Brioche”, is described as a rich terracotta color. It has warm undertones and a slightly satiny finish. It would pull slightly different undertones depending on how pigmented your lips are. But overall on my NC42 skin, it pulls as a very nice peachy n*de.
Let’s look at how it fares the multi-purpose claim:
As an eyeshadow: It was very easy to work it on the eyelids. I did not have to spend a lot of time blending the edges. This color would work well with the whole monochromatic trend going on right now and can be used as an everyday, all-over lid color, but unfortunately, it fell short on the lasting power. Because I have oily eyelids, it started to crease after a few hours of wear.
As a blush: Again, it was very easy to blend and has a medium to buildable coverage. It can be applied either directly from the bullet or I prefer using a small stippling brush to apply and blend this away, but it looked beautiful as a blush and lasted for a good 6-7 hours on my oily skin. It is a perfect everyday natural blush color which would complement many different skin tones.
As a lipstick: The texture was neither too drying nor too moisturizing. It settles to a semi-matte finish but if your lips are not exfoliated properly, it might tend to settle into fine lines. Because of the flat top of the bullet, it might be a little difficult to blend it around the edges. Or else the best way is to use a lip brush to get into those edges and make them look perfect. The color stayed for a good 5-6 hours on my lips with eating some snacks and sipping on water.
Here are the swatches of Brioche. (Left swatch – two swipes, right swatch – blended)
Pigmentation: Excellent, opaque pigmentation. Easily blendable.
Lasting Power: Again, lasting power is really dependent on how you use it. As an eyeshadow, the lasting power was really poor even though I applied an eye primer underneath but it fared really well as a blush and lipstick.
Pros of Bite Beauty Multistick Brioche:
- Beautiful neutral peachy shade.
- Opaque coverage in a single swipe.
- All food-grade ingredients, so extremely safe.
- Lasting power is satisfactory.
- Ease of use.
- Sits very nicely on lips – no bleeding.
Cons of Bite Beauty Multistick Brioche:
- Availability might be an issue.
- This shade could wash out darker skinned beauties.
- A little expensive.
- Low staying power on oily eyelids.
IMBB Rating:
4.2/5
Well, it does meet the expectations and the claims of it being a multistick. It is very travel friendly and comes to your rescue when you need to look “put together” in no time. I am looking forward to try other shades from this range.
