Anastasia Beverly Hills Smooth Blur Cream Contour Stick

I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review. I would say this contour stick is a game-changer for me. I was surprised by the blendability when I used it for the first time. I blended the shade using my brush and I could mix it on my skin seamlessly, looking very natural. The scent is gentle compared with the contour sticks that I have. I also love the packaging as it is simple but sophisticated. I purchase it again!

Anastasia Beverly Hills Smooth Blur Contour offers a natural-looking sculpt with a soft-matte finish. The cream formula applies easily, blends well, and sets without feeling heavy or looking patchy. It works well for realistic, everyday contouring or more defined looks.

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I recently got the Anastasia Beverly Hills Smooth Blur Contour in the shade Cast Shadow, and honestly, I'm really impressed. This contour stick has such a beautiful, silky texture, it literally glides onto the skin without tugging or feeling heavy. I love how it doesn't settle into fine lines or cling to dry patches, which has been an issue for me with other contour products. The shade Cast Shadow is a perfect cool-toned contour color not too warm, not too ashy and it looks very natural on my medium skin tone. It really mimics a true shadow, giving a believable sculpted effect instead of looking muddy or overly dramatic. The pigment is definitely there, but it's super buildable. One swipe gives a soft definition, and layering it a bit makes it more snatched without ever looking cakey. Blending is a dream with this product. I usually use a dense brush or a beauty sponge, and it diffuses beautifully into the skin, leaving this soft, blurred finish that lives up to its name. It honestly makes contouring feel effortless, even on days when I'm rushing through my makeup routine. One thing I also noticed is the wear time it holds up really well throughout the day without fading or patchiness, even on my combination skin. Plus, the stick packaging is super sleek and easy to toss in a bag for touch-ups if needed.

I try to make my daily makeup routine as streamlined as possible, but this is definitely being incorporated into it. The texture glides on smoothly and the spreadability is super easy! The color itself is a cooler brown shade, which I love, since it's perfect for contouring (I'm not using this as a bronzer fyi). I also have sensitive skin, so I like that it has no fragrance, as it would possibly irritate my skin. Overall, would recommend.
