Mally Beauty Shimmer, Shape & Go Sticks (3-Piece Face Defining System) Review

These chubby sticks pack a lot of  useful beauty power. 

Regardless of your face shape, I believe every face can benefit from contouring, highlighting as well as blush to give it definition.  Through shadow and light, you can almost rearrange bone structure to perfect a face and enhance it further through beautiful, healthy color.  

Unlike Mally Beauty’s original Shimmer, Shape & Go in the powder form, this 3-Piece Face Defining System comes in three sticks of contour, highlight, and blush in Lighter or Darker shades also.  Though I loved that first set and made that fact known in my review, I must admit I am even more excited over the same system that was PR kindly sent for my review in stick form.

My set is the Lighter system.  What I did was to start with the champagne chubby highlighter by creating a C shape on cheekbones to the brow area. This gave a lovely glow. Next, I sucked in my cheeks and went with the subtle contour beige-tan shade there and under my jaw line, starting from my ear to work my way down to slim.  I rolled the rosy warm pink stick on the apples of my cheeks and admired how well the color brightened my face.

If truth is known, there are so many reasons why I love this new version of Shimmer, Shape & Go even more.  They can give the complexion more dewy luminosity compared to the powder.  Besides that, they can save time by how quickly they apply.  The formula is creamy and blends effortlessly into the skin for a warmer, authentic application.  My final reason is these sticks don’t take up much space whether in my handbag or makeup bag.

If you’re thinking of new holiday makeup or looking for cosmetic gifts, then I recommend Mally Beauty’s Shimmer, Shape & Go Sticks because they really are incredible!

Mally Beauty Shimmer, Shape, & Glow Face Defining System

Perhaps, you're looking for a great multipurpose compact that will streamline your beauty routine with gorgeous natural-looking color.  If so, then you will love the Shimmer, Shape & Glow Face Defining System from Mally Beauty that I was sent for this review and giveaway.

This is a fabulous compact of a blush, highlight, and a contour powder that will deliver sheer healthy radiance like a stream of glowing light to really accent your facial structure.  This system comes in light and dark peach and pink tones.  Instead of needing to depend on your own brushes, this compact comes with all the brushes you need for pulling this off.  You get a fluffy blush brush and a double ended brush with white bristles for applying the shimmering highlighting powder and the dark bristles to use with the darker powder for slimming.  It also comes with its own soft suede-like case to store it in.

Having a warm light skin tone, I asked to try the Peach Fair (Light is Lighter).  The peach colors were natural and subtle with a delicate emphasis of glowing light from the highlighter.  Unlike typical contouring powders that can leave you with dirty looking splotches of brown as you attempt to hollow out cheekbones, this was more of a realistic darker beige.

I think I could have been just as happy using any of the darker versions of this compact because of the lovely transparency of the shades.  In fact, I would love to try the darker version of the Peach Deep (Love is Deeper) in the future so I could compare which was a nicer effect.

I really think this is wonderful compact to have.  I think you will be pleased at the results. In addition, you'll also save money from buying a separate highlighter, a contour, and brushes just with this one product.
