NYX Professional Makeup Wonderstick, Dual-ended Make up Highlight & Contour Stick, On-the-Go Highlight and Contour Stick, Creamy Texture, Shade: Light

I have warm fair skin and bought this stick in Medium after reading other reviews. The contouring shade looks just right on my pale skin and shows enough for a good overall effect, without being too dark. It's a tad warmer shade than other contouring products on the market, but by no means orangey looking. The stick shape makes this product so easy to apply exactly where you want to, it makes for a perfect contouring set for beginners or people who find contouring intimidating. After drawing the product onto my skin, it allows for enough time to blend it seamlessly with a contouring brush or fingers. I tend to use the Real Techniques Duo Fibre Contouring Brush, which works really well with it. The highlighting end of the NYX Wonder stick is subtle and more neutral in warmth making it suitable for most skin tones and also low on shimmer. Once applied it gives a subtle lit-from-within effect without looking too obvious. The lasting power is very good and I don't find I need to touch up my make up during the day. Overall I think this is a top product, so easy to apply and control it's almost fool-proof. Most days I tend to contour the hollows of my cheeks and on the other edges of my forehead and chin. On days I have more time or for more put together looks I use it for subtle contouring of my nose. As I have combination skin, I tend to use the highlighter mainly on the tops of my cheeks and sometimes on the bridge of my nose. For the price, this is an outstanding product that delivers on all levels. Definitely a product that is a make up bag must-have!

My wife uses it every day with no issues, been pleased with the product

Works as it should and blends well when used correctly for contouring. It is super super creamy, though, so sometimes it's difficult the gauge how much of each you actually need. I have been able to adjust to what suits me best over a few uses. For a NYX product, I was expecting a little more of a higher quality, but the price isn't breaking the bank, so I can't complain too much. It blends well with a brush and a sponge, so if you use either, it will be an easy process. I like that they are both in either end for a quick touch up when needed and small enough to carry in my bag for everyday or nights out with friends.

The darker end of the stick is great, but the lighter end was barely visible. I will continue to use the dark end for shading, but have had to buy myself a concealer in order to achieve the right effect with this, which is a shame.

So glad I went with this slightly different from my usual NYX contouring stick as this one is better for my “ mature” skin needs . It’s a very silky almost moisture rich in texture , so helps with my skin that is now a bit drier than it used to be a few years ago (late 40’s) . The colour is perfect for me too with a very very slight shimmer so it doesn’t look too over the top when blended in with warm finger tips for a subtle highlight and contour finished look .

Perfect length as it fits nicely into my purse. I take it with me everywhere when in need of a quick contouring touch-up. Works well and blends well.. there are no brown lines and whiteness showing through your makeup. Works a treat.

I will buy again and again

Needed a new contour and thought as this is a handy 2in1 stick will save space in my make up bag. Pros - very creamy texture and glides onto face with minimal effort - easily blendable - having both the contour and highlighter in 1 tool is very handy for on the go - I use it after Foundation and find it does help to define my face to give it the 'sculpted' look Cons - for a contour i think it is not cool enough and it works more like a bronzer as it is warm. It will add shadow and help define your face but I don't think the formula is right to be labelled as a contour The product is great but if you want a true contour that is cooler, this is not for you. However if you dont mind using it as bronzer/highlighter to define your face, I would highly recommend.
