5 Reasons Our Beauty Editors Can’t Get Enough of Ogee

Can you even call yourself a skincare buff if you don’t know what Hydraganics are? The answer is yes, of course, you are smart and wonderful and knowledgeable—but step into our office, sis, you need to hear about this. Because our Beauty Editors review a lot of products here at The Glow Up, but we can’t seem to stop talking about Ogee.

If you haven’t already heard, Ogee is an organic skincare company that goes above and beyond with clean, hydrating, certified organic ingredients. (Read: Hydraganics.) They also have a line of cosmetics that is unanimously the makeup of choice for our Beauty Editors for day-to-day wear. The aesthetics! The ease! The quality! Their Contour Collections and Sculpted Complexion Sticks are our daily bread.

Here’s why Ogee is checking all the boxes for our Beauty Editors:

1. Your just-right shade awaits you

It’s 2024. We want natural glow. We want dewy. We want the absolute bare minimum effort with the dreamiest-ever results. This is simply not possible with concealer or foundation; the Sculpted Complexion Stick, on the other hand? Chef’s kiss city.

You layer and build to the opacity of your liking—you have control. You can dab, you can swipe, you can blend with your fingers or a brush. You can stick with the true-to-your-tone shade or explore You’re the artiste of your own gorgeous face. 

There are 20 complexions available with a variety of undertone accommodated, and if you don’t know your undertone, their Shade Finder helps you ID it confidently.

2. Creative control is yours, and it’s impossible to get wrong

Okay, we can agree we’re in the business of enhancing the skin we have. Beautiful. Now it’s in your hands to mold the spirit of your natural appearance however you like—the Contour Collections come in three bundled options for your creative exploration.

The best-selling Crystal Contour trio combines Copper, Rose Quartz, and Opal for a glowing radiance of sun-kissed cocoa meets starlight. Golden Contour is a mix of Amber, Topaz, and Carnelian for that “glow from within” skin. And the Radiant Contour collection marries Obsidian, Pink Diamond, and Pearl for a rosy-hued, regal complexion fit for a queen. 👑

There’s a time and a place for each of these balmy sets, but we love the subtle power each has to tap into your you-ness.

3. It’s cosmetics, but really it’s skincare 

The Sculpted Complexion Stick is a tinted moisturizer that’s loaded with Pracaxi Seed Oil and Patchouli Leaf Extract to improve elasticity and collagen production long-term. Plus, Ogee is Jojoba Seed Oil royalty for that penetrating hydration and smoothing.

The Contour Sticks pull in jojoba oil, coconut oil, and mattifying tapioca powder to simultaneously turbo-load that skin with nourishment and keep the shine down. 

4. Everything about these formulas is above-board

Most personal care products that call themselves organic only require 20% organic content to make the claim, but Ogee is the real deal. They’re NSF certified—this guarantees premium quality natural, organic ingredients, and 70-99% organic contents. They’re committed to leaving out harsh chemicals, synthetic fragrances, and artificial dyes. 

To top it off, Ogee products are cruelty-free, not tested on animals, gluten-free, all natural, GMO-free, and made in the USA. Love it when the most ethical option out there is also one that wears well.

5. The price is perfection

Your makeup bag now probably holds a bunch of beautiful products you invested in, half-used and expired, clogging up access to your most-used shades. We all hang on a little too long. Now imagine the freedom of shedding what’s no longer serving you and paring down to just what works best.

If you consider the Sculpted Complexion Stick that’s compatible with your undertones and the Contour Collection that’s best-suited to your vibe, you’ll have all you need in a mere 4 sticks.

The whole shebang costs just $202, given that bundling your contouring sticks as a trio saves you 20%. Together the three serve as bronzer, blush, highlighter, and blendable nourishment that your skin is going to positively soak up. Pretty amazing, yeah?

Your future awaits: one where your entire makeup kit is delightfully straightforward

And versatile! It’ll look like a total of four sticks that take up little space in your bathroom, and are easy to pack up and take with you when you travel. That means you get to bring hydrating, healthy nourishment to your skin every damn day, just by wearing natural, enhancing makeup by Ogee. YES.
