Are you looking for the quickest contour and highlight of your life? Do you find the amount of time you spend blending everything out absolutely ridiculous? Well stop that. Stop it.
We have found the quickest and easiest contour and highlight and it's all in one little tiny product. It looks like the most unassuming product ever but we are in love with this baby! Prepare to have you mind blown (unless you've already seen this, and if you have then your mind is already blown and how are you reading this? Aliens!)
This is Maybelline's Master Contour V-Shape Duo Stick. It's basically cheekbones in a chubby little crayon and we are not complaining! It's packaging may not be the most appealing but Maybelline haven't been known to wow their customers with amazing packaging. Their Brow Drama packaging could put you to sleep but the products inside are brilliant!
The crayon has two sides to it, hence the name 'duo stick'. One side is a really nice grey toned contour shade and the other is a really brightening highlight tone that is the perfect shade for us pasty Irish girls. We picked up shade 01 Light and it's just right, the fact that the contour shade is grey toned is perfect. In case you didn't know it's a little more believable when a contour shade is slightly grey, that way it mimics a real life shadow on your face and not just a bronze tan. Here's a little swatch for you guys on Gem's arm so you can see how brightening the highlight shade is, even on a pale white ginger.
This duo stick is literally the easiest thing to use in the world. First we run the contour shade into the hollows of our cheeks, over our foreheads and just under our chins. We used a contour brush from Primark to blend it out and let us tell you, there is hardly any elbow grease required to blend this out. We then run the highlight shade over the tops of our cheekbones between our eyebrows and up a small bit towards our hairline and then a little on our chin. Then just blend that shade out using a foundation or buffing brush and your good to go.
We also think the v-shape to this product might work well on the eyes, using the contour shade on the crease and the highlight shade on the lid. We haven't tested this theory out yet but we will let you know when we do!
Have you tried this product? What are your thoughts?
Until next time,
