“Stroke Is No Joke”
Stroke of Beauty® is not just another makeup line designed for women over 40.
It’s the real deal.
Stroke is no joke.
I stumbled upon this makeup line while I was reading an article on Racked.com. Holly Mordini was speaking my language. Mordini, the founder and CCO of Stroke of Beauty said, “I was having a hard time applying my makeup in a way that didn’t look like I was trying too hard or look too covered up,”
“Instead of blaming my skin and thinking, ‘okay, there’s something wrong with me,’
I started to blame the makeup.” – Holly Mordini quoted on Racked.com
RIGHT ON, HOLLY!
She set out to create makeup that was simple, functional, and could take women through their 30’s, 40’s, 50’s and beyond.

It all started with a concealer…SKIN FINISH CONCEALER
It’s not fair to call this a concealer, it’s more than that. I can’t say it any better than their website does-
“Skin Finish is a multipurpose complexion product that delivers undetectable coverage anywhere on the face while mimicking the look of naturally radiant and uncovered skin.”
- This stuff feels like silk!
- It’s multipurpose. I’ve used it to hide dark circles (with Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder to set) AND even as foundation! I don’t need to use it all over my face, just the parts that need evened out.
- What I love most is that it really does mimic uncovered skin. No caking, no drying down.
AVANT-GLIDE SHADOW STICKS
- These are amazing. Cream shadows that don’t budge are almost unheard of, but these waterproof shades stay true ALL DAY. I’m not kidding, I use cold cream to remove them.
- The colors are neutral, timeless, and will always be on-trend. Blend shades to create different colors and looks. All you need are your fingertips.
- They glide on effortlessly, no tugging on your eyelids with these. Plus, shea butter hydrates my aging lids. I am in love with these.
IMPRESSION EYELINER
- One word: PIGMENTED. The intense color lasts all day, as these are waterproof.
- No smudging, no moving. These stay solidly in place.
- Glides on easily, no pulling on your eyelids. Lining my upper lids has never been so easy.
- No sharpening necessary.
DENSITY+ FIBER BROW GEL
And now for the brows…never underestimate the power of your brows. They can add years to your face, or subtract them. A sure sign of youth is full brows. So when they start to thin, it’s a subtle, yet powerful, way of adding years. Overdone brows are just as bad. Stroke of Beauty Brow gel gets the look just right.
- This contains tiny fibers (see picture) that “bridge” and fill in between brow hairs.
- It’s tinted so it can hide that stray gray, while adding depth of color and a hint of shine.
- Holds brows in place.
DUAL DIMENSION BROW SCULPTING PENCIL
This is truly a stroke of genius. These brow sculpting pencils are actually TWO-TONED! One color pencils just don’t produce a look as natural as these pencils can create.
- Fill in sparse brows with the two-tone pencil that mimic the look of natural hair
- Avoids the “drawn-on” look, aka “Uncle Leo” from Seinfeld
- 16 hour wear! And they mean it…
I can’t wait to see what this line develops next! These are innovative products, REAL beauty solutions. I love that the products are all easy to use, long-wear, and create such classic, natural looks. I highly recommend giving this line a try. I’m SO glad I did.
Finding Stroke of Beauty® has been a real stroke of luck!
These products were provided to me for consideration for review by Stroke of Beauty®. As always, these are my honest opinions. If a product doesn’t work well for me, I simply don’t review it.
