What many may not know is that I’m not only a beauty editor, but I’m also a certified makeup artist. I trained long before I started my current career, and I still do makeup for all my friends and family before big events. I’m pretty good at creating a seamless base and can apply perfect winged eyeliner even with my eyes closed, but there’s one product I haven’t mastered yet. It’s a contour stick.
The problem is that contouring wasn’t actually thing When I was attending makeup school. Bronzers were popular, of course, but the use of cool-toned products to contour cheekbones didn’t gain traction until I left to study journalism. So when a friend asks me to draw a little outline, my hands almost tremble from nervousness.
Well, that was until I saw a certain Victoria Beckham beauty product trending on TikTok. This made it easier to show off the contours. I picked it up quickly and can confirm that it is 100% worth the hype. In fact, I think this product has made me an expert in shaping cheekbones. Keep scrolling for my full review.
Victoria Beckham Contour Stylus Precision Contour Stick Review
official
I think many people believe that this product is top of the line because of the easy to use stick. I strongly agree with that, but I also think the formula is one of the reasons why Contour Stylus is so easy to use. I’ve tried a lot of contour sticks and cream bronzers over the years, and while some were good, many were thick and heavy, difficult to blend, and left my cheeks looking muddy rather than naturally contoured.
What sets this product apart is that it’s light, creamy, moisturizing, and melts in like butter. I can honestly say that as far as contour formulas go, this one is completely foolproof. Mistakes can be easily corrected and the moisturizing formula leaves you with a second-skin-like finish, so you don’t have to worry about severe wrinkles.
application
The best thing about this product is that it comes in a slim wand that allows for precise application, especially around the cheekbones and nose. It’s a bit like using a pencil, but resist the urge to doodle all over your face. Instead, focus on areas where you want natural definition. For me, it’s around my cheekbones, nose, jawline, and temples. All I do is draw it on and then use my finger or makeup brush to blur it out. It’s so easy that you can do it in the car, on the subway, on a plane, or anywhere you need a quick make-up application. If you’re also a fan of foundation sticks and cheek sticks, you’ll love this.
the shade
It is currently available in four shades designed to suit a variety of skin tones. I chose ‘Marble’ which is also my favorite shade from VB and I found it to be perfect for my skin tone. Would you like to see a wider range of shades from this brand in the future? Yes. That being said, I think each shade is very considered. I like that none of the shades are too warm, as it is ideal to choose cool tones to create a natural contouring effect.
result
As you can see, it gives a natural finish. If you prefer statement makeup, perhaps it’s not But if you’re new to contouring, or like me, you’re not very good at contouring, I recommend adding this to your makeup bag as soon as possible. It’s the perfect product for minimal, glowing makeup that you can wear every day. The buttery formula and slim wand make it the quickest and easiest contouring stick on the market, and one of those products that makes you wonder, “What could I do without?”
Like all Victoria Beckham beauty products, this makeup stick has a luxurious and effective feel and slots perfectly into the brand’s range of everyday makeup essentials.
