The powders are soft and tend to last well on my skin throughout the day, so it is a nice addition to my makeup collection, and doesn’t break the bank!Ĭlinique Chubby Stick Sculpting Contour £19 I like all of the shades, but like the majority of the kits mentioned above I don’t necessarily use the contouring shade for contouring, more of an all over complexsion boost. I’ve had this for couple of months now and I tend to reach for it when I’m in a rush because it’s so easy to use. Rimmel London Sculpting Palette* – 002 CORAL GLOW £6.99 I think this may work better for me in the summer when I’m not so pale. The only issue I have with this is the shade, it’s a great matte brown but it just isn’t quite cool toned enough to really give the illusion of naturally contoured cheeks, like some of the other products. The formulation of the powders reminds me of highend products, it blends so well and lasts on my skin. This is a more recent addition to my collection which I definitely didn’t need… However, out of all the contour and highlighting kits mentioned this is my favourite. Maybelline Master Sculpt Contouring – LIGHT MEDIUM £6.99 Being so pale I don’t tend to go for really warm bronzers as they just look orange on my skin, the shade in this palette is a fab neutral/ slightly cool toned brown which just seems to work better as a bronzer for me. I don’t think much of the highlighter, but I do like the contouring shade for bronzer. Like the Barry M kit this is another old product which doesn’t see much love anymore. One to avoid if you have a pale complexsion but worth looking into if you want your contour and bronzer in one place and have a darker complexsion. Having said that I do like the bronzer in this and the powders are soft and blend well. This isn’t my go to option anymore, the powder which is meant for sculpting is far too dark for my complexion so it just doesn’t work. I think this was the first contouring product I picked up a fair few years ago now (probably needs to be chucked in all honesty…). If you are new to contouring or want to try something a little different to a powder I really recommend this!īarry M Chisel Cheeks Contour – LIGHT £6.49 The formulation is also a winner for me, it isn’t too creamy so it stays put on my oily skin throughout the day. The shade of this is also spot on, it’s a cool toned pale brown with almost a hint of purple to it which works well to give the look of a natural shadow. I picked this up after seeing Fleur De Force rave about it, it’s the most affordable in my collection and one of my favourites! I love this particularly for contouring my nose, I don’t do anything too heavy but the bullet is small making it really easy to be precise. Pair them with your favorite cream blush and glowy highlighter for a lit-from-within look.Contouring has been around for a while now but it’s something I’m only just getting the hang of. It was only the other day I realised just how many contouring palettes/ products I have, ranging from £3.99 right up to £35, and there is a definite favourite! We’ve rounded up 10 contour sticks that are so good people will start wondering if you’ve had work done. So if you happen to be among those of us without genetically blessed bone structure and want to ease your way into the intimidating world of contouring, look no further. Even better? Buffing them in requires just a few swipes of your fingertips-no complicated makeup brushes or hard-to-clean sponges needed. Not only are their formulas super creamy, and therefore, easier to blend for a more natural finish, but they’re also more forgiving, making them almost impossible to mess up. While there are countless contouring powders, palettes, and kits to choose from, contour sticks are by far the easiest tool to use, especially if you’re a newbie. The good news is that, unlike injectables, you don’t need to be a trained professional to flawlessly sculpt and shade your way to Bella Hadid-worthy cheekbones. But when done poorly, well, let’s just say the results are far from ideal. Have you ever noticed that contouring is a bit like injectables? When done with a skilled hand, it has a way of subtly enhancing your entire look, making your face appear more lifted and sculpted, and in some cases, even more youthful.
