I’ll admit it. Since turning 50, I’ve started buying ALL the anti-aging products, and I’ve learned an expensive lesson: I really don’t need most of it. What I’ve actually learned is that less is more when you’ve reached my age. The less makeup I wear, the better I look — heavy products and powders actually end up making me look older.
That’s why I was determined to find easy-to-use makeup that’s healthy for my skin and gives me a gorgeous glow. I ended up landing on two products that both promise beautiful results in just three steps: The PrimeWand Trinity by Prime Prometics and the Face Sticks by Ogee Contour Collection. Here are my thoughts on both.
If you want a radiant glow… PrimeWand Trinity
First and foremost, I want makeup that makes me love how I look. Doesn’t everyone? The PrimeWand Trinity does just that, giving me a “lit-from-within” glow.
The universal shade of the PrimeWand Pigment mimics a natural, youthful flush of color. With a few swipes, I’ve got the perfect blush and lip color. And the PrimeWand Pearl highlights my face with warmth. Talk about a win-win!
The Ogee Face Sticks didn’t give me that same glow. The highlighter was white, a much harsher color on my skin — it didn’t look natural.
If you want hydration (come on, we all do)… PrimeWand Trinity
I thought I knew what dry skin was. Then I turned 50 and the changes in hormones really did a number on my skin. Wrinkles and fine lines look more pronounced when your skin is dry, so hydration is essential.
The PrimeWand Trinity includes a buttery moisturizer: PrimeWand Nourish. I use it on my face, paying special attention to my eye area and upper lip. It plumps my skin with moisture, which makes wrinkles less visible (another win!).
I can even carry it with me to touch up any dry spots on my face or body, like my hands, cuticles, elbows, and knees. Everything looks and feels soft and smooth in an instant!
The Ogee Face Sticks didn’t offer a moisturizer in their Face Stick trio which is a huge bummer.
If you prefer natural ingredients… Both
I like using ingredients that are found in nature and that are good for my skin, so either brand is a win in my books for this one. For example, the PrimeWand Trinity contains pearl extract, beet, honey, hyaluronic acid, and avocado oil, while the Face Sticks contains green coffee oil, sal tree resin, and organic tapioca.
If you want to simplify your routine… PrimeWand Trinity
Each makeup trio has three steps, but Prime Prometics has multi-tasking products that simplify my routine. For example, the PrimeWand Trinity includes the PrimeWand Nourish, which can be used as an eye cream, lip balm, and overall moisturizer. That’s three products in one! And there’s the PrimeWand Pigment which is a lipstick, contour, and blush in one, replacing three more products.
I can take the PrimeWand Trinity with me anywhere and I know I’ll be ready for anything! It’s easy to use and addresses needs I didn’t even know I had.
The three steps in the Ogee routine were easy to follow, but there were no multitaskers in the group. The trio was more limited in its uses.
My overall choice… PrimeWand Trinity
For me, The PrimeWand by Prime Prometics was the clear winner in this matchup. Their sheer, moisturizing formulas are perfect for my over-50 skin, and they give me the perfect amount of color to look radiant without looking overdone. I love how quick and easy the Trinity set is to use, and I love the versatility of each multitasking product.
When I look good, I feel confident! Prime Prometics has literally made my makeup routine as easy at 1-2-3! Plus, they have a 100% no-risk money back guarantee — if you’re not satisfied, they’ll refund your purchase.
