Hey there,

You must have seen so many bloggers and Vloggers using all kind of contour products. It may look simple but they are trickier to use. I mostly use powder base then cream as cream ones spread but powder blends at right part. So while ordering NYX  Wonder Stick I went with the light shade WS01.

The contour stick is basically a two sided stick with a twist-and-up mechanism. It has a contour stick on one side and highlight stick on the other. Both have transparent caps that gets closed with a click and are very steady.

The contour side of the stick is used to create shadows (darker one) below the cheek bones, jawlines, hairline, sides of the nose, and the highlight stick (lighter one) to highlight the nose bridge, center of the forehead, chin and cheekbones. These sticks are like lipstick bullets which have a twist up mechanism. The texture of these bullets is very creamy and these glide with utmost ease on the skin. Since this one is like a pen style, it is very easy to draw lines across the skin. Even though the stick is creamy in nature, the bullets are strong and wont break on applying pressure.

They are very easily blended and use sponge to blend or just with fingers. The pigmentation of both the sticks is good. I cannot say the pigmentation is strong or light as I believe this stick is very good for beginners, and the pigmentation is just right to start learning and practicing. The contour stick has a matte finish and there are absolutely no shimmers in it. This shade of the contour stick is suitable for all skin tones and the pigmentation can be played around by using it light or layering and darkening it.

On the other side, the highlight stick is more of a silverish shade and has a bit of shiny finish. You can see in the bullet that it has this shiny kind of glaze to it. But upon application, the shiny glaze is not much visible. It has no shimmers. One has to be careful while using the highlighter as too much of it will leave one looking too white and unnatural. It feels very light on the skin too.

The staying power is good and the contouring and highlighting lasts for around 4-5 hours. These do not seem to be waterproof but at the same time they require makeup remover to get rid of completely. In my below pics, I have shown the result after applying them. My cheek bones are poping and jawline looks flawless.

Yes, I will recommend NYX Wonder Stick to everyone as its easy for contouring especially the beginners who want to learn as this product is extremely easy to use and blend.
