Our makeup sticks truly go together like peanut butter and jelly. We love mixing and matching them for an effortless vibe. Lately, Milk Makeup’s Director of Artistry Sara Wren has even been pairing our buttery-brown makeup sticks with the jammy purple ones for a look inspired by her favorite after-school snack: PB&J. “Turns out the tones can be super flattering on a wide range of skin tones, and they look just as yummy as the sandwich,” she says.
Best of all, Sara’s PB&J makeup look is as easy to put together as the classic sandwich. Ahead, she shares the simple steps for achieving the deliciously nostalgic, super-quick look with four different Milk Makeup sticks. We have a gut feeling you’ll crave wearing it every day.

2. Jelly LipsOf course, Cooling Water Jelly Tintin Splash is essential for any PB&J makeup moment. This viral bouncy blush and lip stain is basically the best thing since sliced bread, bringing the perfect juicy translucence to the look. Sara opts to use it on her lips for this, dabbing it onto center directly from the stick. This creates a long-wearing base to your jelly lips. Then, she smudges Lip + Cheekin Quickie on top to intensify the jelly color. You can dab the pigments with a clean fingertip to meld the products together. Last but not least, she adds Odyssey Lip Oil Glossin Voyage onto the center of her lips. Crunchy or smooth; strawberry or grape—no matter what your peanut butter and jelly preferences are, PB&J makeup is a fun, easy way to use your favorite Milk Makeup sticks. |
3. Peanut Butter BlushTo amp up the peanut butteriness of her PB&J look, Sara subs inMatte Bronzerin Dazed as blush. She packs the warm brown pigments onto a dense brush and drapes the color over her cheeks and the bridge of her nose in a W shape. |
