Kryolan TV Paint Sticks Review

by Iyman VJ

Kryolan is known as one of the world’s first professional make-up brands. So when its store was launched in Bangalore, I was really excited to check it out. They have all things, ranging from lipsticks, glosses, foundations, highlighters, makeup pallets, brushes, etc. Today I will be reviewing the contour sticks I got from there. This product is called paint sticks. It is smooth, lustrous and highly pigmented. Gives great coverage and has a smooth matte finish even though it’s a cream based product.

The product comes in a stick which is turned to lift the product out from within. The TV paint sticks look very similar to a lipstick and can be applied in the same way. To use the product, light strokes are made on the desired area and it is blended using a beauty blender or a brush. It spreads easily and does not require too much effort the spread evenly.

My Experience with Kryolan TV Paint Sticks

The paint sticks are lustrous. They are creamy and smooth to touch and spread evenly even without a moisturizer. The sticks are highly pigmented and can cover dark spots and marks with just two strokes. They can be applied on any part of the skin, be it on the face to give it a well-defined jawline or in the arms to cover dark spots. It can also be used to enhance the shoulder blade cuts to make it look more toned and chiseled. Paint sticks can also be used on the abdominal area to create an impression of good abs.

POSITIVES

  • Comes in different shades and tones to suit all people
  • Non-greasy and lightweight product
  • Blends easily
  • Gives a good finish
  • Easily available online as well as in some cosmetic stores
  • Easy to carry the stick

NEGATIVES

  • Ingredients are not clearly mentioned on the stick
  • It is quite expensive; costs 1200/- rupees per stick
  • Not available in smaller packs
  • Difficult to select proper shade as it comes in a dark plastic stick

Overall Would I Recommend Or Repurchase?

Personally, I would not repurchase this product as I am not a pro makeup artist working in theater or film industry. I use it only for myself and the product comes in great quantity. It gets expired in about three years but the sticks are big enough to last even longer. I would prefer buying a smaller version for the same product but that option is not available yet.

I will definitely recommend this product to theater and film makeup artists as it gives an amazing, smooth, non-patchy finish on application.
