Many shades can be worn as either a highlighter or blush, each blending effortlessly into skin. The wands are formulated with hydrating glycerin and smoothing silica to keep the skin looking and feeling its healthiest, per the brand. The packaging is slim with a unique curve lip hugging tip. You are able to apply precisely with this sponge tip applicator. I scraped about half off the wand and that seemed perfect for a opaque application. After a few months of having both the high-end products and their dupes, I have to say that the dupes reign supreme this time around.

Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Contour Wand Review and Swatches

In this review, we’ll take a closer look at the Charlotte Tilbury Contour Wand and see if it’s really worth the hype. It twists so it allows product to come through or prevent it (“on” and “off”), but I don’t think it twists off. You might have more luck ripping off the fluffy applicator and maybe just revealing plastic but I’m not sure (it doesn’t just come off).

It had a lightweight, thin consistency that was more gel-like, which was particularly easy to work with over base products (and still worked well over bare skin!) as it did not lift up product nor did it create patchiness. They wore between eight and nine hours on me before fading visibly. As you can see, in comparison to the other side of my face, I did look a bit more chiseled.

I purchased the shade Light-Medium, which is perfect for my light skin tone. Charlotte Tilbury Original Hollywood Beauty Light Wand ($38.00 for 0.40 oz.) is a soft, champagne gold with warm, peachy undertones and a fine, pearly sheen. It had a luminous, high-shine finish on my skin that didn’t emphasize my skin’s natural texture and was somewhere between radiant and dewy–more sheen than glossiness, though.

I like it and am neutral about the packaging; convenient for traveling or to throw in my purse to boost my look for evening, and no brush required.

It’s not long-lasting on the skin and fades in around four hours, and it’s not a product I’d repurchase, unfortunately. I would love for Revolution to create a product in this format though, as I really like the packaging design, but in my opinion, it’s just not worth the £29.

And, in the pattern of love at second sight, NYX Sweet Cheeks cream blush blew me away too. But after a quick swipe of a makeup wipe and some experience under my belt I can honestly say—it’s probably the most pigmented, long-wearing blush I’ve ever used. It’s also worth mentioning that, while the packaging may not be as pretty as its high-end counterpart, it allowed for a clean application and features a simple screw top that kept me (a person prone to mess-making) from making a mess. I’m always a sucker for the new Charlotte Tilbury new launches. Recently there was a new Hollywood Collection. With a few new contour and highlight items as well as the liquid lipstick.

Being the curious person that I am, I knew I had to try it out. Luckily, I was able to get my hands on one during the brand's latest restock. In terms of tone, I find the Fair/Medium shade to be a lot warmer than I expected it to be. Contour shades should be cool in tone as they’re designed to mimic natural shadow, and natural shadow isn’t a warm chocolate brown color.

Select from four shades to get your glam on. The Giorgio Armani A-Contour Liquid is a staple in Gerstein's kit. I busted through the doors at Sephora and slid on over to the Charlotte Tilbury stand to get my hands on the contour and blush wands, only to find that they were completely out of stock. I was a bit salty and very much soggy from the rain, but I said aloud, “No matter, I’ll check online.” And that’s when I realized that the two products I thought I needed to achieve the Madison Beer glow were completely out of stock.

The application is super easy, you have to twist it open and squeeze a bit to get product into the cushion applicator, then you can easily dab on some dots onto your face and startblending it with a brush or sponge.
