We know how it goes: You’re getting ready to head somewhere special when some pesky gray hairs decide to show themselves. Either that, or it’s been just a week or two since your last appointment and now, those annoying gray roots already appear to be back. Ugh!
As frustrating as it is, know that you’re not alone — this is a shared experience among many ladies post-40, including celebrities like Marisa Tomei. When she’s not starring in our favorite movies or strolling down the red carpet, the 60-year-old actress focuses on simple wellness practices and applies the same principles to her skincare and beauty routines.
For the My Cousin Vinny star, the easier, the better when it comes to beauty. “I’ve always kept it very simple,” she revealed in a beauty secrets video with Vogue. “I just do the minimum.” One of her staple products is this cream-to-powder root touch-up stick from Amazon, which instantly hides gray hairs, thinning roots and receding hairlines.
Unlike other touch-up sticks, this hair concealer is waxless, rain and sweat-resistant, portable and blendable, allowing for precise application no matter where — or when — it’s needed. Shaped like a crayon, it has a dual-end design that makes it all the more convenient. You won’t leave the house without this pocket-sized trick!
On one end is the cream-to-powder formula. The blend contains color-adaptive pigments and binding agents that allow it to melt into your hair — without the greasy or waxy side effects. You’ll enjoy a fast-drying, long-lasting color that doesn’t run, flake or rub off on your clothes. But don’t worry, it won’t stick to your hair longer than needed! The formula will wash out when you next shampoo.
On the opposite end is a pointed sponge tip for a seamless application. Simply dab the formula onto desired areas (think your hairline, roots or temples) and use the sponge to blend it in. That’s all! If you have three seconds, you can use this tool. Designed to match hair ‘perfectly,’ this dynamic stick duo will make you look (and feel) like you’ve just stepped out of the salon.
There are four different color options to choose from, ranging from three shades of brown to deep black. Just pick whichever is closest to your natural hue — the formula will do the rest of the work! We plan to grab two, ensuring we have one for our bathroom drawer and another for our purse. You never know when you’ll need a touch-up!
