It had a lightweight, thin consistency that was more gel-like, which was particularly easy to work with over base products (and still worked well over bare skin!) as it did not lift up product nor did it create patchiness. They wore between eight and nine hours on me before fading visibly. As you can see, in comparison to the other side of my face, I did look a bit more chiseled. This product created more of a "shadow" on my face, a subtle contour versus that harsh Instagram contour circa 2016, so you're after a more natural look, this wand delivers.

CHARLOTTE’S MAGIC CREAM HEROESLIMITED EDITION KIT

We only recommend products we genuinely love. Need help finding your perfect foundation shade? I have Rosacea and my skin is now dry as I'm going through normal aging and Perimenopausal hormonal changes. I was combo for years and have been through hormonal acne plus pregnancy changes.

SEE IT ON YOUR SKINTONE

Depending on your skin tone, opt for shade Fair/Medium or Medium/Dark. Either way, this creamy contour product will have you looking oh-so glowy. This magic wand bathes the contours in beauty-light for an instant mega-watt Hollywood highlight! The rose golden highlight hue flatters all skin tones, whilst the treated pearls blur imperfections, for the perfect, Hollywood gloss highlight.

Charlotte Tilbury Beauty Highlighter Wand

Being the curious person that I am, I knew I had to try it out. Luckily, I was able to get my hands on one during the brand's latest restock. In terms of tone, I find the Fair/Medium shade to be a lot warmer than I expected it to be. Contour shades should be cool in tone as they’re designed to mimic natural shadow, and natural shadow isn’t a warm chocolate brown color.

If you use the Charlotte Tilbury Contour Wand every day, I expect it to last for 2 to 3 months. The Charlotte Tilbury Contour Wand is formulated without Parabens and Sulfates and is vegan-friendly. I had no problem with the longevity as the Contour Wand stayed on perfectly all day. It didn’t fade or smugde, it just looked the same at the end of the day.

The 8 Best Charlotte Tilbury Products That Will Change Your Makeup Game

Plus there has been advances in liquid lipsticks in the last few years. I started with Charlotte Darling a creamy matte pinked beige nude. I will say this shade goes on almost scary orange beige then transforms into a lovely light medium warm beige pink nude. I grabbed Best Actress after seeing Beauty Professor’s review which made it look a touch pink in the photos. If I was going to try and find a dupe for the popular contour wand and cream blush, my one rule was that I wasn’t going to spend an arm and a leg doing it.

I'm Simone, a beauty expert but mostly just a huge lover of everything makeup, skincare, fragrances etc. Even though the product is easy to apply, what bothers me is that it feels half-empty right away. You must squeeze quite a bit to get the product out, even after several uses. I’m not saying there isn’t enough product in there (because there probably is enough), but it gives the feeling that you’ve paid $40 bucks for a half-full product.

This Viral Highlighter Wand Is Constantly Sold Out, but Is It Worth the Hype?

I signed up for restock lists, Charlotte Tilbury texts that I’m too lazy to turn off, and refreshed their website twice a day, waiting for the drop. Similarly, you'll also want to consider the finish of the product. Gerstein likes to use liquid contours that have a matte or blurring effect — as opposed to something more shimmery — to mimic the skin's natural texture. The Charlotte Tilbury Contour Wand is a great way to add definition and shape to your face.

BEAUTY LIGHT WANDSPOTLIGHT

In this review, we’ll take a closer look at the Charlotte Tilbury Contour Wand and see if it’s really worth the hype. It twists so it allows product to come through or prevent it (“on” and “off”), but I don’t think it twists off. You might have more luck ripping off the fluffy applicator and maybe just revealing plastic but I’m not sure (it doesn’t just come off). Christine Mielke is the editor-in-chief and has been reviewing products for over 14 years.

The magic beauty blend applicator is cushioned for easy, instant highlighting. The Charlotte Tilbury Contour Wand’s easy cushion applicator makes creating gorgeous, sculpted cheekbones easy. It has treated pigments with good adherence and color uniformity, creating shadows and defining features for a natural finish. The formula has a lightweight and dry feel upon application for easy blending. The wands are available in seven “beautifying, natural hues” ranging from gold to peach to rose, in both shimmer and radiant finishes.

The contouring effect is natural and can be built up to the color payoff you like. The formula is very blendable, as it almost blends itself, so you don’t have to make a big effort to make it look good. She has normal-to-dry skin with occasional dryness on cheeks and nose. She has a light plus skintone with subtle, warmer yellow undertones (view her foundation matches here).

The makeup pro says the product “never sits in” fine lines or pores. I have been an active member of various online beauty communities for over twenty years—starting with MakeupAlley. I love all areas of beauty from luxury to affordable. I look for what works with the best overall user experience.

I don’t prefer one over the other, both tools work really well with the Contour Wand. The Charlotte Tilbury Contour Wand is £29 and available from Cult Beauty. It has really sleek packaging, with a bronze colored plastic tube, a rose gold plastic lid and a sponge applicator where the product seeps through, so you can apply the contour makeup directly to the skin. In the video, Tilbury says that no other beauty product compares to the “dreamy, fresh, glass-like, candlelight skin” effect of the wands. This was a very comfortable liquid matte lipstick. Compared to what I’ve tried this lightweight formula is more flexible and less drying than others.

She also calls attention to its user-friendly sponge-tip applicator, which she says "can be used directly on cheekbones, jawline, and bridge of the nose to create a perfect contour each time." Select from four shades to get your glam on. The Giorgio Armani A-Contour Liquid is a staple in Gerstein's kit. I busted through the doors at Sephora and slid on over to the Charlotte Tilbury stand to get my hands on the contour and blush wands, only to find that they were completely out of stock. I was a bit salty and very much soggy from the rain, but I said aloud, “No matter, I’ll check online.” And that’s when I realized that the two products I thought I needed to achieve the Madison Beer glow were completely out of stock.

It's easy to use, and it gives a subtle contoured effect to the cheekbones, which is fantastic when doing makeup for a camera. I included both an unblended and blended swatch, so you could see the difference, but it’s still very warm even when blended in with a brush. I feel those with a neutral to warm undertone, might find this shade a little better suited, but it does look a little muddy on my cool toned, super pale skin. I still will give credit where credit is due.
