Multi-Purpose Makeup Sticks

Byredo's Colour Stick Takes a Non-Traditional Approach to Makeup

— September 1, 2020 — Fashion
According to Byredo's Founder and Creative Director Ben Gorham, makeup doesn't have to be restrictive, in fact, it can be freeing, non-conventional and completely rid of any traditional rules -- this is why he partnered with makeup artist Isamaya Ffrench to create the Colour Stick.

The Colour Stick was designed as a pigmented cosmetic product that can be used in a multitude of ways, encouraging the consumer to play around with different uses. It's part of an idea known as the open beauty system, in which products are not made with a specific use or purpose in mind, instead they're made to fit the needs of different consumers.

The Colour Stick arrives in 16 shades.
