Choose by makeup task

The Minimalist is a complexion stick for targeted coverage; Flush Balm is a cream cheek colour; Signature Lip is a lightweight lipstick. They do different things. If you usually wear only one base product, compare the stick with the coverage and finish of your current tint or concealer before adding it.

Use the store visit well

Sephora's Australian listings show multiple shades for The Minimalist and Flush Balm. Shade names and online swatches can be hard to judge, so an in-store swatch in daylight may be useful when practical. Check the final shade, pack size and return conditions before purchasing.

The brand and retailer describe the formulas, but BuyCheck has not worn or tested them. A pared-back makeup routine can also be made from products you already own.
