My Journey Testing Danessa Myricks Colorfix Stix

Discover the innovative Danessa Myricks Colorfix Stix, a versatile makeup game-changer for eyes, lips, and cheeks, blending effortlessly with long-lasting, high-tech appeal.

I've always been obsessed with makeup as a creative escape, and when I heard Danessa Myricks was launching something new, I knew I had to get my hands on it—fast! As a longtime fan of her innovative products, like the original Colorfix liquids, the news of the Colorfix Stix arriving in 2025 had me practically bouncing off the walls. The brand sent me a complimentary sample, and wow, this little stick turned out to be a game-changer in my daily routine. From the moment I unboxed it, the magnetic duo packaging felt like a high-tech toy, begging me to play. But let's be real, I wasn't just excited; I was curious to see if it could live up to the hype, especially with my tricky oily eyelids and dry lips. Little did I know, this product would become my new BFF.

First off, the Colorfix Stix itself is a total multitasker—it's designed for eyes, lips, and cheeks, which is perfect for someone like me who loves a quick makeup switch-up. Each magnetic duo comes with two shades: one side has this pearlescent, almost ethereal metallic finish, and the other is a sparkly foil that feels like pure magic on the skin. Applying it gives this cool, refreshing sensation, like a mini spa treatment in a stick. Honestly, it blew my mind how it blended so effortlessly, almost as if the pigments were dancing together to create something new. But here's the kicker: I had to move fast because the formula dries down quickly, locking everything in place. No time for dawdling!

Now, about my skin—it's been a rollercoaster. After years of battling acne, I've got a solid routine that keeps things calm, but in 2025, I'm still dealing with occasional breakouts on my cheeks. To avoid overloading, I've been skipping foundation and just dabbing on my trusty NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer for spots, plus a swipe of Saie Dew Blush. For my eyes, though, it's a whole other story. My eyelids are super oily, so I usually prep with Urban Decay's Eyeshadow Primer Potion for soft looks or Anastasia Beverly Hills Eye Primer for bolder ones. When I first tried the Colorfix Stix on my lids without primer, I swiped on the metallic shade and tapped the foil over it. The colors popped like fireworks at first—so vibrant and fun!—but after about five hours, they started fading. Ugh, my oily lids were betraying me, whispering that I needed better prep. It was a lesson learned the hard way.

The next day, armed with my Urban Decay primer, I gave it another shot on my eyes, and holy cow, what a difference! The pigments stayed put all day, no smudging or cracking, like they were glued to my skin in the best way possible. But I didn't stop there—I decided to test it on my cheeks and lips too. For my cheeks, I gently swiped the metallic side and blended it in; it acted as a killer highlighter that lasted without any touch-ups. On my lips, which are usually parched, I patted on the foil shade, and it blended seamlessly with my natural color. It lasted for hours before I even thought about reapplying, which was a total shocker since I'm used to lip balms every few minutes. The formula's 50% water base made it feel hydrating and light, no cakey mess at all.

Here's a quick breakdown of how it performed across different areas in my 2025 routine:

Reflecting on the pros, this stick is a powerhouse:

• Versatility: It's like a Swiss Army knife for makeup—use it anywhere! 🎨

• Longevity: Once set, it stays put for hours without fading or smudging.

• Ease of Use: Blends like a dream, and the fallout-free formula means no mess under the eyes.

• Value: At $38, it's a steal for three-in-one functionality. I'd easily pay that for just one purpose!

The magnetic packaging is genius—I can mix and match shades to create custom looks, and it streamlines my makeup bag. No more lugging around separate products. Plus, the pigments play nicely with others, layering over foundation or lipstick without feeling thick. But here's a thought: I wish there were matte options in the range someday; it would make it even more perfect. Still, this product has become a staple in my kit, making me wonder... what's next from Danessa's creative mind? It all started with that initial excitement, and now, in 2025, these Stix are my go-to for quick, stunning looks that feel fresh and innovative. Talk about a full-circle moment—it's like the pigments hugged my journey and never let go.
