This makeup stick can reshape and emphasize facial features.



Contouring and highlighting products keep evolving in order to capture our attention and beauty dollars.  A good example is Rimmel’s Insta Duo Contour Stick that has both of those cosmetics in one convenient product.  

This line has three shades to choose from with 001 Light, 200 Medium and 300 Dark.

Expect decent color payoff.


Being on the fair to light side, I opted for the Light shade.  The contour side is warm medium brown while the highlight is a champagne with an underlying pink color and subtle shimmer.

The Formula of This Cosmetic Has Merit

Notice the beaming radiance coming from that pink cast of the highlight to the sunny bronze contour.

You got to love the creaminess of this formula for how well it blends.  I used a contour brush, but you can also use your fingers to apply and get great results.  

The formula also is light enough that your complexion can still breathe without that heaviness of thicker coverage.

Also, the highlight isn’t overly sparkly to spoil your complexion with obvious glitter. What you can expect is a softer, refined gleam of radiance wherever you place it.

Still, you got to appreciate the convenience of multitasking makeup like this that has two cosmetics of contour and highlight together in one.

The formula provides at least four hours of longevity when I tested it without a primer.  Priming first will surely prolong the wear time.  


A Well-Performing Cheap Contour Stick


For about $5.00 to $6.00, contouring and highlighting are easy to do without overspending.  In fact, you can buy all three shades to play with and still come out ahead compared to the cost of some higher end brands.  

If you’re just start to experiment with makeup, Rimmel’s Insta Duo Contour Stick is something that I’m sure you’ll love.  Check the line out at your local drugstores or wherever you shop for Rimmel Cosmetics or visit the company’s website.
