  • Celebrity makeup artist Bobbi Brown shared the root touch-up stick she “cannot live without.”

  • She loves dpHue’s innovative Root Touch Up Stick for keeping her dark hair looking fresh between salon visits.

  • “It really does help a lot,” she raved.


Bobbi Brown is all about the gray hair movement (she even has special makeup tips for it!), but it’s not a look she prefers to rock herself. The 65-year-old’s signature dark brown tresses are still going strong, and it’s partially thanks to a root touch-up product she’s “obsessed” with: dpHue’s innovative Root Touch Up Stick.

If you’re thinking, “Root touch-up stick? What’s that?” It’s a makeup-like product similar to a root spray that, with a few swipes (instead of pigment splattering sprays), effectively covers pesky peeking grays in between full dye jobs.

“I cannot live without this,” Brown said while holding up the stick in a new TikTok. She added that it’s “really great at-home hair coloring ... especially during the pandemic.”

The convenient, portable stick comes in four colors—medium brown, dark brown, red, and blonde. Its dual-ended design features a pigment crayon on one end, and a brush on the other that allows for easy color covering and blending, even on-the-go. The sweat- and transfer-resistant formula works on all hair textures, and will keep your hair looking fresh until its next wash. “It really does help a lot,” Brown raved. “These are great products.”

And she’s not the only one who thinks so. “I like this a lot. I only use it at my roots around my face. It’s fairly soft, so use a light touch, and blend with the brush side,” one Sephora reviewer wrote. “Amazing product and so much less messy than the spray!” another added. “Great product for between salon visits!” someone else said.

In Brown’s TikTok, she also shared other beauty favorites she’s been loving lately, including The Rich Cream by Augustinus Bader, which she said makes “a complete change in your skin,” as well as U Beauty’s Multimodal Defender SPF 30, which “helps get rid of spots,” she said, adding: “I use this. My husband uses this.”
