e.l.f. Halo Glow Contour Beauty Wand, Liquid Contour Wand For A Naturally Sculpted Look, Buildable Formula, Vegan & Cruelty-free, Tan/Deep

Product Information

I did wear this out on a beautiful New York day for about six-ish hours (which is a long day in post-pandemic times!). Like any good scientist, I had to keep the controls the same. I used my go-to foundation-and-concealer combo so I could really test how the wands performed alone.

Because the formula is thin, each product feels extremely lightweight on the face. All three of the wands were easy to apply, and didn’t dry down immediately which gave me a bit of time to blend them well. I found the products to be extremely blendable and forgiving on the skin. Meanwhile, others say they “prefer” the Elf formula, with one noting: “Elf looks so much better and pigmented than the Charlotte Tilbury.” There are all different types of face makeup to try. Depending on the look you are going for, you can achieve full coverage or sheer coverage; a dewy, shimmering or matte finish; highlighted and sculpted features; naturally flushed cheeks or high pigment cheek color. Here is a rundown of the most commonly used face makeup:

The blush and the highlight looked best using the brush. They are both super-buildable products, as I was able to start with a little and progressively layer on more to achieve my desired look. At first, I was a little worried the blush wasn’t going to show up, but adding another layer helped. Face Primer is used under your foundation to smooth and refine your skin, blur your pores, prevent creasing, even out imperfections, adjust skin tone, absorb oil, and eliminate unwanted shine. It creates a smooth, even canvas for the rest of your makeup while helping grip your makeup. It can come in a liquid, cream, or gel form. Kelly’s comparison has sparked a debate in the comment section with several Tilbury fans claiming the product isn’t a great dupe, with one writing: “I like the CT side better, but only because you didn’t keep blending the elf blush enough and you put too much on.”

With an easy-to-use cushion tip, this sculpting tool lets you contour like a pro! The lightweight liquid formula is infused with hydrating squalane and effortlessly blends into skin to add natural-looking definition and a glint of radiance. Apply and blend into the hollows of your cheeks, jawline, temples, hairline, and sides of your nose for a more defined face and a precise application. Choose from a range of 5 shades. I’m happy to report that all three wands lasted the entire time without slipping or smudging. I maintained the brightening effects from the blush and highlight, and the snatch from the contour from the time I left to the time I got home. I definitely had to blot throughout the day, but not any more than I usually do as someone with oily/combo skin. That said, I think these products would work extra well on someone with dry skin. The lightweight formula is infused with hydrating squalane and effortlessly blends into your skin to create that perfect glow. What is it: A liquid contour wand with a cushion-tip applicator for a naturally sculpted complexion. Both the blush and highlight are quite metallic in how they appear on the skin. The finish reminded me of the Nars Orgasm powder blush; the radiance isn’t glittery, but it definitely has shine.

Foundation comes in cream, liquid, and powder formulas and offers coverage that ranges from sheer to light to medium to full. It can provide a matte finish, a dewy finish, or an iridescent finish. Whatever coverage or finish you need, there is something for you. The two wands also boast a sponge tip to easily apply and blend the product into the hollows of your cheeks, jawline, temples, hairline, and sides of your nose. Now available in an extended range of 6 colors: Candlelit, Rosé You Slay, Magic Hour, Berry Radiant, Pink-Me-Up (NEW), and You Go Cocoa (NEW).

Contour is typically a shade or two darker than your foundation or concealer. Contouring is used to create the effect of shadow and define your facial features. I’m using the shade light/medium in the Elf wand and it is a little lighter than the light Charlotte Tilbury shade, but Elf does have five shades available while Charlotte Tilbury only has two,” she explains.
