Axiology’s Shape Sticks are completely sustainable contour sticks that allow you to effortlessly define and bronze your face. I find it to be a hydrating formula that glides easily over my skin. The Shape Sticks do not contain dimethicone like most contour sticks and they come in 4 different shades.
Best For:
I tried the Light and Medium shades. I noticed that these shades may work better on warmer skin tones, as they (especially the shade Light) had a slight orange cast on me. For this reason, I personally prefer to use the Axiology Multi-Stick in the shade Grounded to bronze & contour.
Did it last all day?
After 7 hours I could still see the product on my face, though it was about half as noticeable as when I first applied it.
How to Use:
These Shape Sticks are quite versatile! They are easy to use anywhere on your face to define and bronze. Apply the Shape Sticks to the hollows of your cheeks, temples, jawline, or anywhere you want to contour. Use your fingers or a brush to blend the product evenly. For more product, simply push up on the bottom of the tube.
A Sustainable Product
These come in packaging that is 100% recyclable and made from island trash. According to their website, Axiology partners with a women’s cooperative in Bali, where paper trash is transformed into beautiful packaging. When you buy from Axiology, it helps the cooperative provide stable work and fair wages for women while simultaneously helping to remove trash pollution on the island. This is part of the reason I am a fan of Axiology!
