I bought the Fenty Beauty Contour Stick about six months ago, and since then I have used it in so many different ways and I used it in summer when my skin was more oily. Also used it in winter when my skin was dry and sensitive. I tried it with light makeup days and with full glam looks. So I really feel like I know this product very well now. This is my honest Fenty Beauty Contour Stick review after real daily use, not just one try.
When I first tried this contour stick, what I noticed right away was the texture. The formula feels very creamy and smooth. It glides on the skin without pulling or dragging. When I draw it on my cheeks or jawline, it never feels dry. I blend it with a brush or sponge and it melts into my foundation so easily. I never get harsh lines or patchy areas. This is something I really care about because some cream contours look nice at first but then they get muddy when you blend. With this one, the blend is always soft and natural.
The pigment level is also perfect for me. It is not too strong. It is not too weak. I can use a little bit for a soft shadow or I can build it up for more definition and I love this because I do not like heavy contour. I want my face to look sculpted but still real. Even after six months, the formula did not dry out. It still feels just as creamy as the first time I used it. That is a big plus for a cream product.
The shade I use is Fenty Beauty Contour Stick in Amber. This shade is one of the main reasons people love this product. Amber is a true contour color. It has a cool undertone, but it is not grey. On my skin it looks like a natural shadow. It does not look orange or warm or It does not look dirty. It just makes my face look more defined. I have light to medium skin, and Amber works beautifully on me. If you want that clean sculpted look instead of a bronzy contour, this shade is really perfect.
I also tried this shade on bare skin and on full foundation. In both cases it looks good. When I use it with no foundation, it still blends nicely into my skin. When I use it over foundation, it does not lift my base. That is very important to me. Some contour sticks ruin your foundation, but this one does not.
The packaging is simple and modern. I like the hexagon shape. It feels nice in the hand and it looks cool in my makeup bag. But I will be honest. The plastic feels a little bit cheap. It does not feel very luxury. It is light, which is good for travel. But I personally love makeup that feels heavy and high end. This one feels more basic. Still, it does the job and it is easy to use.
For the price, I think the Fenty Beauty Cream Contour Stick is very fair. You are paying for the formula, not the packaging. And the formula is really good. A little goes a long way, so the stick lasts a long time. I have been using mine for six months and I still have a lot left. So in my experience, it is a good value.
After all this time, this product has become one of my go to contour sticks. I use it for quick everyday makeup. I also use it when I want a more sculpted look. It always works and It is easy. It never looks heavy. Even though I wish the packaging felt more luxury, the formula is what really matters, and this formula is beautiful.
If you are looking for a cream contour that blends well, looks natural, and is easy to use, the Fenty Beauty Contour Stick in Amber is a great choice. I am really happy I bought it, and I will keep using it in my daily makeup routine.
