I bought the Ami Cole Multi-Stick thinking it was just another blush stick that would collect dust in my drawer. I was wrong — and I hate being wrong about makeup.
Turns out this $22 stick does more jobs than my entire makeup bag combined. And it doesn’t look like a toddler applied it.
It’s a cream stick, $22, comes in 5 shades. The brand claims it works for lips, cheeks, eyes, brows, and cuticles. I rolled my eyes so hard.
Cheeks first
Taps in like a dream — no streaks, no patchy bullshit
Lips second
Sheer tint that actually lasts through coffee. Not sticky.
Eyes third
Use your ring finger. 10 seconds. Looks like you slept 8 hours.

No fragrance, no nonsense. The formula is basically skincare pretending to be makeup. Squalane does the heavy lifting — it’s what makes this not dry out your lips like every other multi-stick.
- Squalane: Locks moisture without greasy fingers
- Jojoba Oil: Melts into skin, not sitting on top
- Vitamin E: Keeps cuticles from looking raggedy
- Mica: The only shimmer that doesn’t scream 2003

First swipe felt like butter left out too long — soft, warm, almost melts on contact. Absorbs in 10 seconds flat. No tacky residue.
Week 3: I accidentally used it as brow tamer during a Zoom call. It worked. Brows stayed put for 6 hours. Nobody noticed. That’s the goal.

My cheeks actually look hydrated now — not just colored. Lips stopped peeling after 4 days. Brows? Still skeptical but they stayed put. Cuticle oil claim is real but don’t expect miracles overnight.

It’s not magic. It’s just really good cream makeup that doesn’t lie about what it is. Buy it for the cheeks, stay for the cuticle hack.
