Learn how to apply the Tarte Maracuja Multi-Stick as a cream blush and lip tint. Step-by-step tips for a natural, sunburnt look with minimal effort.
Quick Answer
Swipe the Tarte Maracuja Multi-Stick directly onto cheeks and lips for a flushed, sunburnt look. Blend with fingers or a brush for a seamless finish.
Why This Stick Works for Both Cheeks and Lips
The Maracuja Multi-Stick is designed as a click-up cream formula that glides on without tugging. Its buildable pigment lets you control intensity, making it suitable for beginners who want a natural flush or a bolder pop of color.
Because it's a multi-use product, you save time and reduce clutter in your makeup bag. The same stick gives your cheeks a sunburnt look and your lips a matching tint, so you don't need separate blush and lip products.
Choosing the Right Shade
The Maracuja Multi-Stick comes in several color options. For a natural look, pick a shade close to your natural flush. If you want a more dramatic effect, go for a deeper or brighter hue. Test on your wrist or jawline to see how it blends with your skin tone.
Step-by-Step Application Guide
- Prep Your Skin: Start with a clean, moisturized face. If you wear foundation, apply it first and let it set. The cream stick blends best on a slightly dewy base. Avoid heavy powder under the stick—it can cause patchiness.
- Apply to Cheeks: Click the stick up a few times. Swipe directly onto the apples of your cheeks in a small X or two dots. Use your ring finger or a damp sponge to blend outward toward your hairline. Blend quickly before the cream sets—work one cheek at a time.
- Apply to Lips: Glide the stick directly over your lips, starting from the center and moving outward. For a softer tint, press your lips together and blend with your finger. For more color, layer another swipe. Exfoliate lips first if you want a smooth, even application.
- Build Intensity (Optional): If you want a more dramatic look, wait 30 seconds for the first layer to set, then apply a second swipe to the center of your cheeks and the middle of your lips. Blend again to soften edges. Less is more—start with a light layer and add gradually.
- Set for Longevity: For all-day wear, lightly dust a translucent powder over your cheeks using a fluffy brush. On lips, blot with a tissue to remove excess oil. Avoid rubbing or touching the area throughout the day. Powder can dull the dewy finish—skip it if you prefer a glossy look.
