Review of Maybelline New York V-Face Duo Contouring Stick: 

We all love products which are easy to use and give us great results. I have seen in some contouring makeup tutorials that it is a difficult technique to master but this contouring and highlighting stick from Maybelline does just that. It is one of my favorite drugstore brands for makeup and my HG concealer is from Maybelline. This contouring stick is a perfect tool if you are a beginner and want to learn how to highlight and contour your face.

It comes in a tube-like packaging and looks like a jumbo stick. The products have a cap at each end to prevent contamination. One thing I loved about the packaging is that the caps on each side have a transparent see-through plastic base so you do not have to open both sides to know which side contains which product. I chose the light to medium shade as it is perfect for my NC-30 skin tone.

The Maybelline New York V-Face Duo Contouring Stick contains a creamy and blendable contouring product which is around 2 shades darker from my skin tone. I use it on the hollows of my cheeks and the sides of my nose and it takes just a minute to contour my whole face with this stick. I do not apply it very heavily if it is an everyday look. The highlighter on the other part also has a very smooth blendable texture and does not look over the top. I use it on the high points of my face and the bridge of my nose. I then blend them both using my beauty blender which gives an even finish to the look without any harsh edges.

The staying power of the stick is average as it stays for only 4-5 hours on my face but for special occasions, I can make do with 4 hours of wear time. The pigmentation is good as one swipe gives you the desired results. The stick is really easy to use and is great for beginners like me who do not do heavy-duty contouring. It is definitely one of the best contouring products for beginners. I can do a pictorial on contouring step by step guide on how to contour makeup step by step if you guys want to see that.
