concealer: Use a clean finger to dab onto the area you wish to cover.
lip cheek: Use a blotting method across your lips and cheeks. Layer to increase color intensity.
bronzer: Apply this matte bronzer to the tops of your cheeks and the frame of your face for a natural, dimensional hint of color.
Highlighter: Dust across the high points of your face for a subtle, luminous glow.
shine control: Sweep the powder across your T-zone or the area that tend to get oily.
prefer a hands-free application? reach for the stippling brush in our 4-piece brush set. The density of the brush is great for applying any cream products, including our creamy concealer. Using a brush can help spread the concealer across larger surface areas for a foundation in a pinch!

we have 3 resources for you to take advantage of.
1. on this page (scroll up a little) we have a shade finder where you can plug in your existing brand + product + shade and it will provide you with your Subtl match based on that product.
2. take our Subtl Stack Quiz by answering a few questions about your skin type, skin tone and lifestyle. Not only will we make concealer recommendations based on your answers but we will provide recommended shades across all of our products.
3. if you like a more personal touch, you can send a makeup-free selfie in natural lighting to matchme@subtlbeauty.com and someone from our team will get back to you in 24 hours with a recommended shade.
yes! the subtl lip and cheek are made for all skin types. If you’re worried about the color fading due to oil production throughout the day, we recommend staking our powder blush for your cheeks.
we recommend using your Subtl concealer within 12 months of receiving it, but this concealer is so good, we don’t expect it to last that long ;)

I will forever repurchase
"I've loved your products since the pink stack & now that the upgraded stak is out, I've loved them even more! I love that it's portable and compact, which makes it a great use especially when traveling. It's the make up product I reach for when I know I'm going to be putting on makeup in the car. It's mess-free and definitely hassle-free! I could go on and on about how I love Subtl. It is just geniu and so I will forever repurchase!"

such an upgrade!
"the new stak is such an upgrade! The concealer is hands down the best I’ve tried (no creasing or caking on my dry under eyes and it lasts all day) and Hibiscus Highway lip and cheek is the shade I never knew I needed. So pretty! Even the highlighter has been improved, and I wear it every day now. I really believe in this company, I respect their mission and how they listen to their customers and continue to improve. Subtl fan for life here!"

this product is exactly what you need
"A little over a year ago I was scrolling social media and Rachel’s beautiful face appeared showing a Stak of makeup. It was simple, had great colors, and was super affordable. I was looking for new makeup. Something that showcased my skin and how hard I’ve worked to make it healthy. Enter my first purchase with Subtl Beauty. The Stak I purchased had a concealer, lip & cheek, and bronzer in it. I’ve been a Subtl customer for a year now and have never looked back. "

I’m a flight attendant so I’m always on the go. This has simplified my routine and made me feel like I can touch up anytime! The products are amazing. I feel the concealer was an almost perfect match and the blush is stunning! Very very happy with my purchase. Currently doing my make up on a beach in Hawaii before I work my next flight.

I absolutely love that I discovered this brand. It makes getting ready quick and easy. Im military and l am also a law enforcement officer, so long hours and exposure to the outdoors a lot. This brand lasts all day, minimal touch up needed, leaves the skin pretty.

The Starter Stak is still one of the best premade staks! I remember this one as the OG set and these products are incredibly versatile. For example, I'm not really a bronzer girl, so I use it as an eyeshadow instead. On lazy days, I rely on the Terracotta Tour Guide for my eyes, lips, and cheeks. The Shine Control is great for setting everything in place. The formulas are creamy, pigment-rich, and buildable. I love knowing that the products I'm using are good for my skin too!

I can’t stress how convenient and smooth the products are. My only complaint is the bronzer is a little warm for me, but that’s a tiny complaint if you even call it one! The customer service is phenomenal. I mixed up while ordering and removed the brush and lid from my starter, and had a broken highlighter. I asked for advice about resetting the highlighter and how to order a new lid and brush, but customer service sent them to me free of charge! I would have been just happy with how quick they got back to me, but they go above and beyond for customers and I recommend them for sure.
