Yes, everyone hailed strobing as the new contour and highlight. You may have thought it was a phase, but no, contouring will always be a vital part of any make-up lovers beauty routine. ![]() Once a market monopolised by Anastasia Beverly Hills, the beauty industry has seen an influx of new, extremely hyped products from Kim Kardashian's KKW contour and highlight stick to Rihanna's Fenty Match Stix. I definitely would like to get a darker shade for contour and even the blush/highlight shade in Sinamon.Contouring has officially been put back on the map by celebrity contour products, well, that and Kim Kardashian. I blend it out with my Elf Blending Brush and it works like a dream. I've been using it pretty consistently for the past few weeks since I got it and I love it. It definitely is a matte formula but doesn't dry my skin out. I used it as a foundation and concealer and it covered everything up nicely while giving me a nice, even finish to my skin. The Match Stix is defined as a matte stick formula to correct, conceal, contour, and touch up so it basically does everything and I can attest to that. That doesn't bother me though because it blends out really nicely and offers a decent amount of coverage. The formula is a little dry but I heard Emily Noel say she added a bit of oil to her face beforehand and it worked great. The pale pink is super cute and I love the fact that it's magnetic so it can click to other Match Stix. The packaging is super cute and weighty without being too heavy. Maybe it has to do with the fact that I work at a makeup brand so I know the difference in shades, but it just is something I don't struggle with). ![]() I got the shade Bamboo which I think is pretty decent for me (I never have trouble shade matching online. I wasn't in on the liquid foundation because I'm in between shades and really don't need another foundation (also, the reviews aren't that great for dry skin and my skin is getting super dry as the weather gets colder)Īs intriguing as the blush and highlighters were, I knew that I didn't need any more at that moment (and at this moment) so I opted for the Match Stix in a shade that would work as a foundation and concealer. To me, that's a decent price for a new brand in Sephora, especially a brand as hyped up as Fenty especially when Rihanna is behind it. I was also in on Fenty after I saw the price tags. I liked the fact that she had only one lip, because lip is more universal than foundation. I loved the fact that it was so heavy on the complexion while still having some color with the blush and highlight shades, both in compact and stick form. Once I saw what Fenty was all about, I was in on it. I mean, 40 foundation shades at the initial launch? YES.Īfter a few Youtube videos, I was intrigued and started browsing the Sephora website. That is until it launched and I saw all the hype. I mean, I get that it's Rihanna's makeup line and Rihanna is BOSS but to me, it was just another brand. I didn't really get why it was being talked about the way it was being talked about. When Fenty Beauty was being buzzed about, I don't think I was as excited as everyone else in the beauty world. ![]()
