I purchased several of these concealer sticks, in varying shades, for the purpose of contouring and highlighting.
I have been very disappointed with them. They smell like crayons (kind of unsettling to have this smell on your face...), apply rathy patchy, are a bit hard to blend, and seem to just melt off my face.
While this product may work well for some people, I'm just not a fan and won't be purchasing again.
I've been on the lookout for an affordable concealer, and I'm still trying to decide if I prefer liquid over stick. I tried a sampler of CoverGirl Continuous Wear and really liked the result, but wondered if their "dry" concealers worked as well. I actually got mine at a reduced price on eBay because it was damaged, but CoverGirl TRUblend Fixstick normally retails for between $3 and $8, depending on the store or website.
Overall, this product is alright. Not wonderful and I most likely would not buy it again, but it's not horrible either. It goes on sort of smooth, but it's kind of thick and tacky. I find it doesn't glide over my skin all that well. No sharpening is involved - it has a twist top auto-sharpener. I went for the Light shade and it's a little more orange-y than I'd like, but most concealers aren't a perfect match. For this to work, I think lots of blending is likely required.
TRUblend Fixstick would work best as a touchup product - something you'd use to cover very small spots or under the eyes. It's not good as an all-over concealer. Also, I used it a bit on my upper eyelids and it kind of felt like my lids were sticking to my face when I opened my eyes. Again, it's sticky.
I think this product would work okay in conjunction with a fluid concealer to cover up especially dark blemishes or redness, but by itself, it's not that great. I think CoverGirl is a great drugstore brand and definitely try the Continuous Wear concealer if you're looking for a good product in this line. But the TRUblend Fixstick leaves much to be desired as far as this reviewer is concerned.
This was an alright product but not the greatest..I found it didnt spread as well when you put it on. not worth 9-13$ kinda dry..
