NYX Pro Fix Stick Correcting Concealer Review
Some correcting concealers are too thick and end up looking cakey, while others are so sheer that they hardly conceal anything at all. So, when I got my hands on the NYX Professional Makeup Pro Fix Stick Correcting Concealer, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Could it really be the all-in-one solution for color correcting, concealing, and achieving a flawless base?
Turns out, this little stick is here to prove that budget-friendly makeup can still deliver professional results.
First Look
The Pro Fix Stick comes in a sleek, twist-up design that makes application incredibly easy and mess-free. Its creamy, crayon-like formula is perfect for targeted correction and blending without needing an extra brush.
Available in a range of shades designed to address specific concerns—green to neutralize redness, yellow to brighten dull areas, lavender to counteract sallowness, and peach to tackle dark circles—it’s a versatile addition to any makeup routine. I tried the green and peach shades to combat redness and dark under-eye circles, respectively.
Texture and Application
The formula is surprisingly creamy and glides onto the skin effortlessly without tugging. Unlike some correcting products that feel heavy, the Pro Fix Stick is lightweight yet pigmented, offering just the right amount of coverage.
I dabbed the green shade around my nose and cheeks to counteract redness and used the peach under my eyes. The crayon format allowed for precision, and a few quick swipes blended seamlessly into my skin with a beauty sponge. Pro tip: Warm the product with your fingers before blending for an even smoother finish!
Performance and Longevity
Here’s where this product shines: it actually works! The green shade effectively reduced redness without leaving a chalky cast, while the peach neutralized the blue-purple tones of my under-eye circles. When layered under foundation, both shades melted into my skin, leaving no visible trace of the corrector underneath.
The concealer held up beautifully throughout the day, with no creasing or fading. It stayed put even in my T-zone, which tends to get oily.
What I Loved The Most
- Customizable Coverage: You can easily layer the product for more intense correction or keep it sheer for a natural look.
- Ease of Use: The stick format is perfect for beginners and pros alike, making color correcting straightforward and fuss-free.
- Long-Lasting: The formula stays intact all day, even in humid conditions.
Cons
While I loved the overall performance, I noticed that the stick might emphasize dry patches if your skin isn’t well-moisturized beforehand. Also, the shade range for correcting tones is great, but I wish they offered more skin-tone concealer shades for deeper complexions.
Final Thoughts
The NYX Professional Makeup Pro Fix Stick Correcting Concealer is a standout product for anyone looking to address redness, dark circles, or dull skin tones with ease. Its creamy texture, long-lasting wear, and budget-friendly price make it a must-have in any makeup bag.
Whether you’re new to color correcting or a seasoned pro, this product delivers results that rival higher-end options. Just make sure to prep your skin with a good moisturizer for the smoothest application!
