The beauty industry remains marked by the legacy of k-beauty. For some time now, what Asian brands do in terms of skincare and hair care has become the absolute reference for innovation in the West. And not only in formulations, but also in formats. And among the favorites, the stick has emerged as one of the preferred options for carrying out a skincare that’s simpler and more enjoyable.
They are incredibly famous, in fact, sunscreen sticks because they allow easy reapplication. But things have gone further and they have also slipped into the treatment section. And if you’re thinking of renewing your eye contour, the creams and serums for eye care have fallen behind; you need a stick-format option. Sephora’s word.
You don’t need us to tell you that the skin around your gaze requires specific care. It is much finer and, therefore, more sensitive to certain products, so it is recommended to use cosmetics suitable for this area of the face. The goal is to treat it according to the type of condition and achieve better results than with the cream or serum you use for the rest of your face.
However, choosing a good eye contour becomes a tricky task. And not only because of the sheer number of options on the market, but because not all of them are right. What matters is to identify what you need and choose accordingly, but also the formats that are most comfortable for you.
And the stick has every chance to meet the requirements. Not only is it a pleasing option, it applies like a balm and doesn’t require getting your hands dirty; it is versatile. The reason? There are different options available for every need.
An Eye Contour with an Ice-Cube Effect
Let’s start. If you have decided to read these lines, chances are that bags under the eyes are a problem for you. That puffiness that appears beneath the eye due to lack of rest and even genetics can be relieved or concealed thanks to Prodigieuse (Hyalu) Boost by Nuxe.
This is a hydrating stick — it contains hyaluronic acid — that stands out for giving an ice-cube effect after application. Enriched with caffeine, known for reducing the appearance of bags and dark circles, it is a treatment that refreshes and smooths the eye contour, making the gaze look rested, as if after a good night’s restorative sleep.

An Eye Contour Cream with Color for Dark Circles
If this isn’t about bags, then dark circles are probably what trouble you. The purple or bluish pigmentation that appears is a constant fight for those who want to look a fresh and awake gaze. How to tackle it? With Banana Bright+ Vitamin CC Stick from Ole Henriksen, a creamy eye correcting stick, formulated with two forms of vitamin C and pigments inspired by banana powder, which instantly neutralizes dark circles, brightens and hydrates.
It is a moisturizing eye cream in a stick that, in addition to treating, provides a hint of color. It is available in three shades to correct the different undertones of dark circles to suit all skin tones. Inspired by banana powder, this vegan eye stick contains mineral pigments that reflect light to correct the color instantly and revitalize the eye contour.
