This product could be better but this product could certainly also be much worse.
Good things:
the shades were great (i used the light stick)
the contour shade was nice without being muddy or a weird orange it was a great "shadow creating" shade
it blended well
the creamy texture was nice without being heavy
Bad things:
the two colors would mix on the stick if you weren't careful
it doesn't build like i would like
it blends well, but almost too well as if you blend it too much it basically disappears
if you want a very subtle contour I say give it a whirl but if you want something a bit more dramatic pass on this product and try a powder based one
Would not recommend!
I was really disappointed in this product. I love the idea of the two in one stick but this product failed. I had to try so hard not to mix the two together when applying and after it blended it pretty much disappeared even though I was using the darkest shade! So awful
Positives: This product blended nicely and I didn't find the contour shade too muddy looking.
Negatives:
- I really dislike having the contour and highlight right beside each other. Even if you are careful using it, eventually they are going to start mixing together. Even after one use I noticed some feathering between the shades. Having one on each end of the product would work better, like the Nyx Wonderstick
- The highlight shade didn't show up very much on me (I am very pale) and I prefer something with a little bit of sheen.
I purchased this Duo contour stick, I was expecting a lot more ease of use. The cream formula glides on ut is very hard to blend in and make look natural. Half the stick is a dark contour, and half is a highlighter. I did not like the colour I got the light, and the dark stick, both of them seem like the colour of mud, not bronze. I would not recommend this to anyone, and the $13.99 price is pretty crappy too.
