Review Summary
She begins by explaining that this is what she does when she wakes up in the morning feeling bloated and self-conscious about her appearance. She humorously compares herself to a potato, attributing her bloated look to eating salty foods in the evening.
The reviewer proceeds to demonstrate her contour routine using the NYX wonder stick, which she notes comes in four shades(it actually comes in six). The one she uses is light/medium, and it includes a highlighter and concealer on one side, and a contour stick on the other.
The reviewer starts with the contour stick, using it to slim down her face by contouring along her cheekbones, jawline, chin, and the top of her hairline. She explains that she has a large forehead, which she likes to call a "fivehead," but she contours it to bring it down a little. She pokes around the side of her face to find her cheekbones, and then uses the contour stick to draw a line underneath them. She also contours along her jawline to make her face look more chiseled, and draws a "V" shape under her chin to hide any double chin. She finishes off by doing a couple of squiggles on her forehead and nose, dotting the bridge of her nose lightly to create a natural look.
After applying the contour stick, the reviewer blends everything away with a light hand, using a blending brush. She notes that when contouring, it's essential to use a color that's two to three shades darker than your skin tone, and to be careful not to use too much product.
The reviewer likes her makeup to look natural, so she uses the lighter part of the stick very sparingly. She draws an "X" on her chin and nose, and another "X" on her forehead, blending everything away with her fingers. She finishes off with some gentle brushing and swiping motions, creating a subtle, natural look that slims down her face and enhances her features.
Overall, the reviewer's updated face contour routine is easy to follow and uses affordable, accessible products. She emphasizes the importance of using a light hand when contouring and choosing the right color for your skin tone. Her end result is a look that's both slimming and natural, and she encourages her audience to give it a try if they want to make their face look slimmer.
