Let’s be honest—managing a makeup routine can sometimes feel like juggling a dozen different products just to get that perfect look. I’ve always been intrigued by the idea of minimalist beauty products, but the notion that just a few sticks could replace my entire makeup bag? That seemed too good to be true. 

So, when I heard about Ogee’s Contour Sticks and their Sculpted Complexion Sticks, I was intrigued but skeptical. Tired of lugging around multiple products and spending too much time on my morning routine, I decided to try them.

Performance: These sticks perform beyond the hype

The first thing that struck me about Ogee’s Contour Sticks was how incredibly smooth they were. Seriously, they glide on like a dream. 

I started with the Crystal Contour Collection, which includes three shades: Copper for bronzing, Rose Quartz for blush, and Opal for highlighting. These shades are designed to enhance your natural contours with minimal effort, and they really do. 

When I tried them, I understood why these sticks have become a staple for many. Their smooth and blendable texture makes it nearly impossible to mess up, even if you’re not a contouring pro. The finish? It’s a glowy, sun-kissed look that feels natural, not overdone—just how I like it.

And what really seals the deal for me is that these products are Certified Organic, Cruelty-Free, Not Tested on Animals, Gluten-Free, All Natural, and Made in the USA. The fact that they also have skin-friendly formulas is the cherry on top for a beauty lover like myself. 

Convenience: Makeup on the go made easy

One of my biggest pain points has always been the number of products I need to carry around. Foundation, bronzer, blush, highlighter—the list goes on. With Ogee’s Contour Sticks, I can officially say goodbye to the clutter in my makeup bag. These sticks are super compact, making them perfect for on-the-go touch-ups. 

Plus, the Sculpted Complexion Stick is an absolute game-changer. It’s like your foundation, concealer, and contour all rolled into one. I keep it in my purse for those midday touch-ups, and it’s a lifesaver. Whether I’m at work or out for dinner, I know I can quickly freshen up my look with just one product.

Universal: I’m pretty sure you’ll find your perfect shade

Now, let’s talk shades. I’ve struggled in the past to find products that match my skin tone perfectly, but Ogee’s range is seriously impressive. The Contour Collections come in three different sets, each catering to different undertones—Crystal for a subtle glow, Golden for a warm, sun-kissed look, and Radiant for a deep, rosy hue. There’s something for everyone.

And with the Sculpted Complexion Stick offering 20 shades, finding the perfect match for my skin tone was a breeze. Plus, Ogee offers a super handy “Find Your Shade” quiz that takes all the guesswork out of the equation. Just a few quick questions, and it recommends the shades that will best suit your skin tone.

The lightweight, hydrating formula works well on all skin types, a major win for someone with combination skin like mine.

Versatility: They are the ultimate multi-taskers

I’ve used the Sculpted Complexion Stick as a foundation, concealer, and even as a light highlighter when I’m in a pinch. The buildable coverage means I can go from a natural, everyday look to full glam with just a few swipes. And the Contour Sticks? They’re not just for your cheeks. I’ve also used them on my eyes and lips for a monochromatic look that ties everything together.

So … Can they really replace your entire bag? I say YES!

After using Ogee’s Contour Sticks and Sculpted Complexion Sticks for a few weeks, I can confidently say that they’ve pretty much replaced almost everything in my makeup bag. 

At $108 for the Contour Collection and $52 for the Sculpted Complexion Stick, they’re definitely an investment. But considering how many products they’ve replaced in my routine, they’re worth every penny – especially since I don’t have to waste any more time and money looking for products that (may or may not) work for me.

If you’re ready to take your skin and make-up game to the next level, you should definitely give OGEE a try today!
