We love that they’re creamy, portable, buildable, and require fewer tools than a powder. The beauty of contour sticks is that they give the user control and the ability to create facial shadows, even on the most round face. What was once a multi-shade, powder contour palette has now turned into the one-step contour stick, making it a lot easier to just swipe on the shade where you want to contour, and then use a brush to blend it in. I don’t think I’d repurchase this, but I’d consider it again if they came out with a more true contour, or if I started to really liked a bronze look.The concept of contouring might look scary on social media, but it’s actually a lot easier than you might think-especially when you have the proper products and tools. ![]() I liked the formula but I’m not huge into bronzer, so having something like this wasn’t the vibe I really wanted. ![]() It’s not a bad product, it’s just not for me. It wasn’t a dealbreaker for me, but if you don’t like that feeling I’d suggest setting it with translucent powder or a bronzer/contour for extra coverage. Move quickly though and you’re fine.īecause of the satin finish though, it did sometimes feel a little sticky on the face, in the same way I might expect foundation to feel when you don’t set it. If you left it on for more than 30 seconds though, it would start to dry down and you could see where it was applied once you blended it out if you weren’t careful enough to blend it well. I liked that it was a liquid and I found that it looked nice on the skin, especially with its satin finish. Even though it was a cool brown, it wasn’t cool enough for what I personally would have wanted.įormula wise, it was easy to apply and easy to blend. I wouldn’t quite call this a contour in the traditional sense, but really more of a sculpting bronzer. I found the colour, at least for me, to be okay. I generally just applied it straight to the face with the applicator and blended with a dense face brush, or if I wanted a specific application (like to contour my eyelids or around my lips) I would put it on the back of my hand and use a detail brush. At the time, I’d really only had experience with powder contour, so this had a bit of a curve to it, albeit not a tremendous curve. The liquid contour took a bit of time to get used to. ![]() This is good in theory for spillage (I never had a leak) but it could be hard to turn when my hands were product-y. There’s also a little valve to twist in order to squeeze some product out. I was the only one who really wore it and had no issues applying it straight from the tube. Some people think that the sponge can be unhygienic, and while I can’t say whether it is or not, I can say it didn’t really bother me. It comes in a squeeze tube with a sponge applicator on the end. The Hollywood Contour Wand is a liquid contour that comes in two colour ways: a light/medium and a medium/deep shade. It was something I wouldn’t have picked out myself at the time but it was something that made me feel kinda bougie to have. I was really excited to get this product. Normally, this product is about $50CDN on her website and on Sephora, but I think with the mystery box I only paid a fraction of that. ![]() The mystery boxes at the time seemed really cool, but they were most definitely a ploy to move products that weren’t selling well. I’d gotten the Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Contour Wand in a Charlotte Tilbury mystery box a few years back when I was going through a phase of wanting to try a bunch of her products. Pros: the formula is nice and blendable and a bit sheer it does last quite a long timeĬons: it only comes in two colours the packaging can be a bit hard to work with with messy hands it’s not exactly a true contour colour (think Huda Beauty’s Tantour Contouring Bronzer)
