Our Thoughts: This is what we call a life-saver. While we still may feel tired in those AM meetings, we no longer look it thanks to Thrive Causemetics. It's super easy to apply and glides smoothly across our lids, in our waterline, below our brow bone, and of course, on those inner and outer corners. And it's true – this formula lasts all day with no creasing.

This brightenercomes in 13 colors that can be used with many different skin tones. We've loved using it to simply highlight our corners or taking it to the next level as an eyeshadow. And again, we are obsessed with the good this makeup does to our skin.

The ingredients here help smooth texture and fine lines through the benefits of antioxidants and hydration – not only do we see it but we feel it too. You can’t start 2022 without this brightener in your makeup routine.

The seven shades available, from Mieko (Soft Pink Shimmer) to Tessa (Berry Matte), are flattering on a range of skin tones.

We found the three best spots to hit with this color stick are the hollows of the cheeks for a subtle flush, the lips for a fuller pout, and the apples of the cheeks for a natural blush. You can’t go wrong no matter how you decide to use your Triple Threat Color Stick™. The creamy texture is heavenly, and the built-in brush makes diffusing easy for a soft, glowy look.
