Down the sides of your nose and between your nostrils: slims a wide nose bridge and lengthens the nose bridge dramatically.

Just above and underneath your cheek contour so that the contour has more contrast and stands out more: gives the illusion of super sculpted cheekbones.

Right in your Cupid’s Bow (above your upper lip): makes your upper lip look larger.

Center of your chin: makes your complexion look healthier and can slim a large chin.

Underneath your eye to the side of your nose, to your temple, in a triangular shape: brightens your under-eye area in a broader way and gives the illusion of high cheekbones.

Center of your forehead: natural light hits here and this can make your complexion look brighter and more awake.

Center of your nose: makes your nose contour stand out and the bridge of your nose look slimmer.

I typically apply my highlight and contour with a lighter hand than this because too much product can really give you “cake face,” and you don’t want that. All of the products are applied heavily to my face so that it would show up in pictures for this diagram. I was impressed with the cream formula and how smoothly it applied and blended.Ībove is a representation of where to highlight and contour.

These were both super pigmented and creamy when applied. Universal has the shimmery highlight and Medium has the matte highlight. You can see in the swatches above that the contour shades are just about identical and the highlight shades are vastly different. I feel these are inexpensive and enough of a beauty bargain to purchase both.

Again, choose what is best for your skin type, age, and daily makeup preferences. I personally like owning both of these because I have my choice of either a shimmer or a matte cream highlight. It can also depend on the occasion, as shimmer can look divine at night, but a little too much during the daytime. If you have oily skin or have more mature skin, you may want to avoid the shimmer because it can emphasize fine lines, wrinkles, and pores. If you tend to have dry skin and need a boost of glow to your skin, you won’t mind the shimmer in Universal. As to which one is ideal for you, it is honestly going to depend on what your skin needs are. The Medium has a completely matte, flat finish to it and the Universal is shimmery. The highlight side of the sticks are very different, however. Medium (top), Universal (bottom) Highlight Side One side has your contour shade and one side has your highlight shade.

The Wonder Stick’s themselves basically look like markers with dual-sided ends. I’ll go into greater detail on that in just a moment… You can easily use these photographs as a guide for your own face, just remember that everyone has different face shapes and features and your own contouring and highlighting will vary. On the packaging, there is a picture of on Instagram and how she uses the product on her face to highlight and contour. Medium will be especially great for those occasions when I want a darker, more intense contour on my face whereas the Universal shade will work well for daily use. I purchased Medium and Universal because my skin tone has warmer undertones to it.

I’ve got full swatches, my review, and a pictorial demonstration inside! The Medium is good for skin tones that are light to medium with neutral, olive, or yellow undertones and the Universal shade will work with every single skin tone. I have Medium and Universal for you today. It is basically foolproof and even beginner’s can get the hang of highlighting and contouring with this product. If highlighting and contouring your face absolutely scares the crap out of you, this is a wonderful product to use. One of the many brand new releases from NYX Cosmetics is their Wonder Stick, which is a dual-sided highlighting and contour stick.
