The new Maybelline Lifter Stix Multi-Use Sculpter Sticks have just landed in Australia – and beauty lovers are calling them a ‘ facelift in a stick’ and you can nab them for just 14.99 now
Maybelline’s new Lifter Stix takes the guesswork out of sculpting so you can look and feel like your best self, without the confusion.
This is the first contour product that doesn’t intimidate me. I finally get that lifted look while still looking natural. Since trialling them for work I’ve not stopped using them.
What’s more the sticks are currently on sale for just $14.99, just half price of the usual $29.99 RRP, so there’s never been a better time to buy.
The creamy, lightweight formula blends effortlessly and never looks patchy, meaning even beginners can achieve natural-looking definition in seconds.
The products are all infused with cranberry seed oil which obviously helps with how it glides and blends on the skin, but it also means they never feel drying or cakey.
Each stick can be used to cover, contour and highlight, making them a versatile handbag essential.

How to ‘fake’ a facelift using Lifter Stix
The trick to the lifted look is strategic placement, and choosing the right shade that works for you individually. Luckily there are eight to choose from to suit every skin tone.
Start by choosing a sculpting shade one to two shades darker than your skin tone, then swipe it under your cheekbones, along the jawline, and at the temples to create soft definition.
If you want to ‘slim’ your nose, that’s easy too. Draw a line down each side to create a shadowed effect, ultimately giving the illusion of more height down the middle to the tip.
Next, grab a brightening shade that’s naturally lighter than your skin tone and apply it under the eyes, down the bridge of the nose, and along the tops of the cheekbones to lift and illuminate.
Finish by blending with a brush or a damp sponge, following an upward motion to mimic the effect of a natural facelift.
The results will floor you, think fresh, lifted and sculpted look – with no invasive treatments, no downtime, no stress.

Next, grab a brightening shade that’s naturally lighter than your skin tone (Elise uses shade 05) and apply under the eyes, down the bridge of the nose, and along the tops of the cheekbones to lift and illuminate. Then add a warmer bronzer shade on your cheeks to pull the look together (Elise loves 55 on her skin tone)
Even the celebs swear by it
Actress and entrepreneur Shay Mitchell fronts the campaign, showcasing just how easy it is to transform your look with a few quick swipes of the sticks.
Shay uses the Maybelline Lifter Stix as a softly sculpted base that enhances her natural bone structure while still looking fresh and glowing.
For daytime, it’s the ‘no makeup-makeup’ look Australian women are loving right now, but for a more evening glam, amp up some more bronzy hues on your cheeks to add more drama.
