You packed it for TSA. Now it’s in your purse. Your desk drawer. Your bathroom counter. And if you’re like a lot of our customers, you’ve realized: this Stak is way too good to save for vacation.
Here are 5 ways real Subtl customers are using their Stak daily, with smart swaps and setup tips to make it work for your real routine.
1. Keep a Mini Stak Where You Actually Get Ready
Your Stak isn’t meant to sit in a drawer. It was built for wherever your life happens.
Customers keep mini Staks in:
-
Their purse, for after school drop-off or errands
-
Their desk drawer, for pre-Zoom refreshes
-
Their car console, for last-minute touch-ups in the parking lot
What to pack:
• Concealer for quick coverage
• Lip + Cheek for color
• Shine Control Pressed Powder for shine control
2. Build a 5-Minute Face
Subtl users say the Stak trims their morning routine without sacrificing results.
Try this daily setup:
-
Concealer: Tap under eyes and around your nose
-
Lip + Cheek: Use on both cheeks and lips
-
Bronzer or Highlighter: Add warmth or glow
-
Shine Control Pressed Powder: For setting or mid-day touch-ups
“I bought this for a trip, thinking it would just be a travel convenience... but the quality of the makeup is so good that I find myself reaching for it daily.”

3. Use One Product for Multiple Steps
One of the best things about the Stak is that it works harder than your average makeup.
Try these customer-tested hacks:
• Use Lip + Cheek as a cream eyeshadow
• Apply Concealer as foundation
• Use Bronzer to contour or define your crease
“This is my go-to for a fast, polished look. The Lip + Cheek gives a cohesive tone across my face and I love how everything fits in my purse.”

4. Rotate Your Stak Based on the Day
You don’t need 10 new products. You just need to swap in a pod or two based on what’s on your calendar.
For weekdays:
Concealer, Lip + Cheek in Terracotta Tour Guide, Bronzer, Shine Control Powder
For weekends or nights out:
Add our Eyeshadow Duos or swap in a bold Lip + Cheek
“I have a smaller Stak I use every day and a second one with deeper colors for going out. It’s so easy to personalize.”

5. Refresh It Instead of Starting Over
Your Stak is designed to grow with you. There’s no need to overhaul your whole routine.
Try this:
• Refill your most-used pods (like your everyday concealer or blush)
• Remove pods you’re not using right now
• Add one new pod each season for something fresh
“This was supposed to be my ‘travel only’ makeup. Now I use it daily. It’s the easiest part of my morning.”

The Bottom Line
The Stak might have started as your vacation go-to. But for so many customers, it’s become the everyday essential that lives in their purse, not their suitcase.
Less clutter. Less time. More confidence.
