I feel it will more suitable for something with NC 20-30 but on my NC 40 shade it just give a light shadow on me. The contour is super easy to work with and you just can’t go wrong with it because it is such a safe shade. It isn’t as dark as I would have expected it to be but the texture is very creamy and blends like a dream with a little bit of stippling. NYX Wonder Stick – Contour: It is a medium caramel brown shade with beige undertones. NYX Wonder Stick is basically a cream contouring and highlighting stick where the contour stick has a rounded tip while the highlighter has a tapered tip. though I fixed it by puching it back.Īlso, I liked that there is a reference picture demonstrating the product on instagram celebrity and show where you need to contour and highlight. The packaging is nice but the highlight shade has arrived broken at the base :P. There are glass caps on both sides to protect the bullets inside and also give a peek through of the color. Come the end of the day, my contour was still pretty much in place and remained relatively pigmented right up until the end of the day.Packaging: NYX Wonder Stick is a double ended contour stick with black plastic case and a swivel packaging. I applied the Wonder Stick directly over the top of my foundation and I added a little of my Anastasia Contour powder palette over the top to set the cream contour. The contour bullet has a round edge that fits nicely underneath cheekbones, swiping across the forehead and underneath the jawline. The shape of the highlight bullet has an edge, ideal for down the tip of the nose and getting under the eyes. Whilst the stick is not overly creamy and wet feeling, it also doesn’t pull against my skin or feel drying.Īpplication of this contour stick is possibly my favourite aspect of the entire product. I found the contour shade a cool brown, with not too much warmth in it, making it ideal to mimic shadows under the jaw and in the hollows of the cheeks. The highlight colour is great for applying in a triangle shape underneath eyes and knocking out dark tones that often lurk there, alongside applying to the high points of the face where the light would naturally hit. The light/medium shade contains two ends with separate sticks, the first a yellow toned light highlight shade and the second a cool toned brown contour shade. The Wonder Stick makes contouring a quick, simple task and left me with great results. The only downside of it is the time it takes to apply it and blend it out to leave it looking seamless. Where has this been all my life?! I’m personally a fan of the effect contouring gives to my face and how I look far more structured once I have applied contour.

Whilst passing through my local Boots store, I passed the NYX counter (in all it’s spectacular glory!) and saw a large selectin of different face products from colour correcting to contour and highlighting. Currently, I use the Anastasia Beverly Hills powder contour palette in Light/Medium and although it is a great palette, I wanted to try switching it up with more cream products. Alongside this, I’ve decided to use less powder makeup products as I felt they were highlighting the drier areas, as well as caking my already dry complexion and instead incorporating more cream products into my routine.Ī good cream contour that isn’t overly expensive is something I have been on the look out. Throughout the colder winter months, my skin became drier than it had ever been and I had to seriously step up my skincare regime to ensure my skin’s hydration was replenished. Hey everyone, hope you’re all having a top week!
