Nudestix

Nudestix is a cruelty-free beauty brand founded by sisters Jenny, Taylor and Ally Frankel. Boasting products that are both paraben-free and gluten-free, the brand aims to help you swap heavier beauty buys for lighter alternatives that serve to accentuate your natural look, even when on-the-go. We can guarantee you’ll want to shop all of the Nudestix make-up sticks—which have been designed for your face, eyes and lips—that you can get your hands on. If you’re after a skincare alternative, the brand also has you covered with its new offering, Nudeskin by Nudestix. Developed with the help of renowned cosmetic dermatologist Dr Emer, the new line features five vegan-powered products which serve to clean, exfoliate, tone and moisturise your skin. 

Vogue recommends the brands’s new NudeFix Cream Concealer, which incorporates natural ingredients with super-gel technology for a flawless finish.
