Hey, guys!
It's Faith, Byrdie’s editorial director, and today, I have two new Charlotte Tilbury
products to try out.
One is a contour wand, and it is a liquid contour formula, and it has a sponge tip,
and you can just apply it wherever you want, and Charlotte says you can just blend it in
with your fingers.
And the next product is the highlight wand, and it basically gives you that really beautiful,
megawatt, dewy glow wherever you put it.
I'm gonna start off with the contour wand, then follow up with the highlight.
So, let's get started!
When I contour, a makeup artist trick I learned was to take this little section of your ear
right here, and you always want to start it there, and then follow, kind of, the natural
angle of where it would go from here to the edge of your lip.
So I'm squeezing it.
I can see it is an intimidating shade of brown, but hopefully it does come out sheer.
And I start right here and just draw a line.
Woah, that's pretty dark—but it is a very liquidy texture, so you don't want to let
it dry, and I think you would just, like, blend it in with your fingers.
She says it's super blendable, which I am finding that it is.
So blend all the way to your hairline, and then blend down.
Does my face look more sculpted on this side?
I feel like it does.
Cool.
Now let's do the other side—just draw this line down, and then blend with my fingers.
I have basically given up using brushes of any kind.
I'm just so lazy now, and everything is so blendable, and I love that Charlotte makes
products that you can just blend in with your hands and fingers—so, blend in.
I love it.
It does sculpt your face, and there really are no harsh lines.
I would say if you're a contouring beginner, you would just start off just doing your cheekbones,
but if you want to, like, kind of sculpt your face even more, I like to do it along my chin.
This will actually slim your face supposedly … you tell me, guys.
This applicator is really great.
I love the sponge tip, it blends so easily, and if you're ever scared of harsh lines or
anything like that, you don't have to worry about that with this whatsoever.
And then I like to finish just by doing around my hairline.
just think about kind of where the sun would naturally tan you, and, you know, make you
look a little bit darker, and that's kind of where you should apply it.
I don't know about you guys, but I am into this.
I do feel like my face looks more sculpted, and I'm really pleased with the result.
Alright, so now that I am very sculpted, let's add some highlight.
I'm pretty much obsessed with highlighter, and I'm really excited to try this out.
it's almost kind of like a liquid gold formula, and it's actually called a beauty light wand.
So just like the contour wand, it is a cushion tip as well, and it's going to be a super-liquidy
formula that hopefully makes me glow like an angelic being.
So this is almost more of a rose gold than kind of, like, a true gold, which supposedly
makes it more flattering for all skin tones.
I like to put highlighter on my cheekbones, so I'm just gonna brush it like this.
It's really pretty already, and then just blend out with my finger so there's kind of,
whoa, this is like a megawatt glow, if you will, but it's very blendable, which is really
great and nice.
I think I can do a little bit more actually.
Like I said, I'm a highlighter fiend.
I love how this reflects light and blends so beautifully without looking like "whoa,
I'm wearing a ton of highlighter."
So, as you can see, this is no highlighter, nothing, just contour, and then this is with
her highlighter.
Brightens up my entire face, and I love that when I turned my face you can kind of see
the glow there, which is really great.
And I just love how easy it is to apply.
So, I'm going to do my other cheek now.
It's very pearly and very, almost like a hydrating formula.
I like to kind of tap it in I think that helps it blend a little bit better and that way
you're not smudging it all over your face.
I like to also put highlighter just a little bit down the bridge of my nose.
I don't want to go too crazy but just to bring a bit of light right here.
And then, my favorite part to put highlighter is like right above my lip right here, this
Cupid’s bow area.
Make sure to blend it in.
So I am sculpted and glowing!
I love how easy it is, how portable it is, so I'm really impressed with these.
Thanks for tuning in and watching me test out these cool new products, and I will see
you guys next time.
Bye!
