If you peek into my makeup bag, you’ll notice no signs of a liquid or powder foundation. Instead, you’ll dig up Merit Beauty’s The Minimalist Perfecting Complexion Stick. A complexion stick can work overtime as a foundation, concealer, contour, or whatever you want it to be for your base. That’s why I’m such a huge proponent of this multitasking makeup product, but not every brand gets it right. One that does, however, is Ogee with its Sculpted Complexion Foundation Stick, which has an early Black Friday discount right now.
There are several reasons to love this formula. For one, it’s more than just a makeup product. It boasts skincare properties and leaves the complexion nourished, smooth, and youthful-looking. You have patchouli leaf extract, green coffee oil, and elderberry extract to thank for the glowing results. The former calms, smooths, and increases skin firmness, the middle promotes collagen and elastin production to boost firmness, and the latter helps “tighten” your complexion and shield it from oxidative stress. Another important thing to note about this creamy formula is that it’s clean, certified organic, and cruelty-free, which means it excludes a bunch of ingredients that are bad for your skin and doesn’t test on animals.

All of these claims of anti-aging powers beg the question, “Does it actually work?” According to many shoppers, it does.
“Lightweight coverage (with buildable option) that looks more natural than any foundation I’ve ever used (and I have tried many!),” wrote one reviewer who gave the product a five-star rating. “Glides on and blends effortlessly and stays put and most importantly, doesn’t settle into my many ‘laugh lines.’”
“After trying every make-up brand out there, this stick knocked Shiseiedo out of 1st place and at a lower cost. I’m 57 and this gives me just enough luminous glow without looking oily and looks impossibly natural,” another shopper raved. “I don’t look ‘made-up’ I just look terrific and my skin feels baby soft again. Hooked and will be ‘sticking’ with this for a long time.”
Lastly, a third reviewer said, “I love how the sculpting complexion stick feels and works! For the first time in my 64 years I LOVE putting on a foundation.”
These are just a few of the shopper reviews that applaud Ogee’s Sculpted Complexion Foundation Stick for not emphasizing fine lines. So, if you’ve been trying to master an even complexion and second-skin feel with your foundation but haven’t had any luck, this stick is about to change the game.
The brand recommends using multiple shades to create your perfect all-over base shade, or you can even order a deeper shade for contouring or a brighter shade for concealer. Simply use your fingers to dab the product into your skin, and remember, it’s buildable! Start with one layer and keep adding more for extra coverage.
