The fact that it’s magnetic is what sold it for me because I tend to lose products when I travel and *hopefully* I won’t now that they’re all stuck together (lol). It wasn’t cakey and I love how all three shades go so well with one another. The longevity of these products are great! It definitely stayed on my face without any movement until I used makeup remover to take it off. The highlighting shade is SO pretty and you can definitely wear it as an eyeshadow too (bonus points for versatility). Not only does this blend extremely well, it’s also buildable…which makes contouring super easy for newbies. It’s creamy enough to blend extremely well on to your skin but hard enough for it to not break off (hmm KKW needs to learn a thing or two from this range). Yes, I needed to write all of that in caps to get my point across. In addition to all that, they’re also magnetic, which makes it perfect for traveling!

Bronzer is typically placed at the highest point-where the sun hits you the most, like your temples, forehead, cheeks, and across your nose and chin. Similarly, the neutral and cool undertones of a contour stick likely won’t add that bronze-y look to your skin, but can potentially warm up certain undertones (like very-pink skin).Īnother key difference between a contour and bronzer is placement. “Bronzer can technically create dimension on your skin, but it might look too warm and orange-y, depending on your skin tone,” she says. So, bronzers can sometimes be shimmery or have a sheen to give your skin a glow, while contour is usually matte and meant to blend seamlessly into your skin.īut (!) you can contour with a bronzer or bronze with a contour, but you might prefer a different tone for each, says makeup artist Britty Whitfield. Contour, however, is usually cool or neutral, depending on your undertone, because it’s meant to subtly mimic the natural shadows in your face.
