I’ve been using this contour wand from Charlotte Tilbury, and I think I blend it well… but sometimes I feel like it disappears or leaves a patchy spot.

Maybe I’m applying too much? Or not blending fast enough?

Any tips from contour pros? I’d love to hear your advice!

... Read moreContouring can be an intimidating art, especially if you're using a product like the Charlotte Tilbury contour wand. To achieve that flawless look, it’s essential to understand the right application techniques. First, consider the amount of product you apply. Using a small amount and gradually building up can help in achieving the desired intensity without overwhelming your face. A common mistake many make is not blending quickly enough; remember that cream products can dry down quickly, so a swift blending motion is crucial to avoid streaks and patchiness. Additionally, using the right tools can significantly impact the blending process. A damp makeup sponge or a buffing brush can help you achieve a seamless finish. For those who may still struggle, practice makes perfect; over time, you’ll learn how much product works best for you and how long you have before the product sets. Lastly, don’t be afraid to reach out for advice! The beauty community is vast and filled with expert advice—consider joining forums or social media groups focused on makeup artistry for more tailored tips. Happy contouring!

theres no such thing as blending too fast girl! i recommend a damp sponge for liquid contour, and obviously a brush for powder ones. if its patchy, either add more contour or cover it with more foundation to cover it up and start over. no judgement either but i cant really tell that you have it on so my advice is to not be afraid of using more!

For most of my life I lived in fear of what people thought, cared, and said of me. At 27 I FINALLY accept that I can’t worry about what society deems right or wrong, I can’t live (not live) considering the judgement of others forever. Ultimately, I’m learning that it doesn’t matter if others see
