WET N WILD MegaGlo Makeup Stick - Oak's On You

Product Information

Some products claim to be beginner-friendly, but Merit’s Bronze Balm actually walks the walk. The sheer pigment is especially great for newbies to camouflage any application slips, yet the color is easily buildable for customizable color. If you’ve been deciding between a contour or a bronzer, OCool explains that this gives you the best of both worlds. “It’s kind of a two in one because the formula is a liquid, the shades are pretty universal, and it creates a more natural effect,” she says. She suggests applying it on your cheekbones, jawline, forehead, and down the nose to simultaneously warm up your complexion and simulate shadows. For more dramatic sculpts, Greenwood and OCool both recommend using a dense brush (like the Morphe M6 Pro Flat Dense Buffer Brush or the Sigma Beauty F80 Flat Kabuki Brush) to buff the contour into the skin in upward strokes. This creates a more targeted effect and allows you to easily build up intensity.

Take into consideration your undertone—this could be cool, warm, or neutral,” says Ono. “To figure out your undertone, look at your veins on your arm: if they are blueish, you have a cool undertone; if they are more green, you’re warmer; and if you can’t really determine which shade you are, you’re more likely a neutral undertone,” she says.

Be aware that if you are using a powder foundation, you should not apply a cream contour or any other cream product like cream blush on top of it. A cream cannot sit on top of powder, it will drag it when you apply it.

And the formula has a matte finish, a must for Ono, who prefers to keep her bronzer and contour shimmer-free (but can layer highlighter on top, if desired) to prevent looking too shiny. This is such a beautiful bronzer for a satin finish,” says James. “The texture is easy to blend for a seamless result,” he adds. “Highly recommend for dry skin.” Although we’re talking about contours here, an added highlighter is always welcome! And the highlighter is all the rage. Full of glow without the shimmer, I can’t get enough of it!

Contour and bronzer can often be used interchangeably—but they accomplish two separate things.

Bronzers tend to have warmer, shimmery tones, yet contour is almost exclusively offered in muted tones and matte finishes.Start off by understanding your face shape.
