I Came , I Saw, I Contoured?

Contouring? Every non-makeup pro's nightmare. I refuse to spend $50 on a contour kit when I can barely highlight my cheeks without looking like Snooki circa 2009. That is why I took to Amazon once again. Unfortuntely I was not as lucky as I was with the brushes that I ordered on Amazon. I opened the package (that took 2 months to get to me) to find a semi-decent beauty-blender, an angled brush, which may have been the only thing that I liked about the total package, and then the actual contour kit that looked like this:

I did not have high expectations for this product as it was only $4.80, but once I opened up the package I thought the product looked appealing and would surpass my low expectations, but sadly I was mistaken. Not all cheap products may be for you so beware!!! I started by using the lighter color for my under eyes, then used the beauty blender to blend it in, and let me tell you it was not pretty. It looked like a 5 year-old had taken their chalk and drew on my face. 

Although the lighter color did not work, I did use the green pigmented makeup to cover up any redness that I had on my face. It did work, but it did not stay on for long whatsoever. The best part of the kit was for-sure the angled brush. Even though I did like the angled brush, I would not recommend this product whatsoever. 

On the other hand, I have had a great experience contouring with the NYX Wonder Stick that only cost $12. It was easy to use and provided a tutorial on the side of the box that will show you exactly how to use the two different colors to create the perfect contour. 

NYX Wonder Stick

The NYX stick was not chalky, is easy to use, effective, and has great color. The contour palette from Amazon made my skin look orange, but the NYX Wonder Stick was the perfect color for my skin tone and was the perfect amount of darker shade. Another pro to the wonder stick is that it conceals under-eye bags and is perfect to contour your nose. Also, as someone who does not like too much makeup, the wonder stick does not create a look that is too intense

I found a great moderation in this product and the best part about it was that it was only $12. Interested in this product? Click HERE to purchase a NYX Wonder Stick!
