CONTOUR STICKS

Applying your makeup using some form of a stick seems to be around a lot more recent, with foundation, concealer, bronzer, blusher and highlighter all in stick form now. I have picked up quite a few contour sticks recently as they make my makeup application so much quicker and easier and you can contour precisely. Here is my run down of all of them i've tried and tested.

Collection Contour Stick | £3.99

This is the most recently one I picked up as it was on offer in Boots and Collection are really upping their game lately. The stick itself is quite thin compared to the others so you get quite a precise line for your contour. I opted for the medium shade, which is quite a warm chocolate shade. The formula itself is really easy to blend and sort of sinks into the skin.

Rosie for Autograph Starstruck Contour Stick | £15.00

This is one of the first contour sticks I started using and one of my favourites but the whole Rosie collection is amazing! This stick is quite chubby so it isn't as precise as the collection one but I love the colour and formula of this one. This is another warm chocolate shade and the formula is creamy and blendable. Also the packaging of this one is to die for, who doesn't love rose gold?!

Makeup Revolution The One Contour Stick | £5.00

I actually got this one free with one of my orders and tossed in a drawer and never used it, untilI found it to take away with me. This shade is slightly orangey with a slight shimmer so it isn't the best match for my skin tone but I can make do. This is again a chubby stick so isn't very precise but blends really easy.

Maybelline Master Contour V-Shape | £6.99

I sort of have a love hate relationship with this stick. I love it as its two in one so you get a contour and highlighter and also the formula is easy to blend and creamy. However, having both shades on one stick means you need to be really careful when applying so you don't mix the colours into each other. Other than that though these blend out really lovely with a matt finish. I have the medium version which has a earthy brown contour shade and a vanilla highlight shade.

NYX Wonder Stick | £10.00

This is another of my favourites and you get both contour and highlight again but without the risk of the two blending into each other. The Wonder stick has a contour at one end and a highlight at the other. The stick itself on these is also smaller so quite precise making the contouring in hard to reach areas easier. I have the light shade, which has a cool toned brown and a very pale cream shade for highlighting.

What are your favourite contour sticks?!
