Finding your perfect shade in the Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Contour Wand is truly a game-changing moment for your makeup routine. Suddenly the muddy, streaky contour of the past is a distant memory, replaced by a radiantly carved cheekbone in the ideal believable bronze colour. If you know, you know. And if you haven’t yet had the chance to get in on the action, we have great news: with five brand new shades added to the line-up, yours is most likely in the mix.

The colours are designed to cater to both darker and fairer skin tones, with seven shades now available all up: Fair ($60 at Charlotte Tilbury), Fair-Medium ($60 at Charlotte Tilbury), Medium ($60 at Charlotte Tilbury), Medium-Deep ($60 at Charlotte Tilbury), Tan ($60 at Charlotte Tilbury), Tan-Deep ($60 at Charlotte Tilbury), and Deep ($60 at Charlotte Tilbury). For the record, Fair-Medium and Medium-Deep were the only options previously – so the shade range extension was a move we’ve been hoping to see for a while now.

Said shades have all been crafted to compliment the undertone and overtones of different skin tones, too, with the specific goal of avoiding an ashy look – important. On the hunt for your personal fit? Let’s take a look at ‘em…

Charlotte Tilbury Contour Wand shades

Now let’s talk formula for a sec. Not only are the silky-smooth, buildable, and beautifully blendable formulas a favourite of the very beauty editor typing this, but these wands are also regulars on the red carpet. In fact, Emily Ratajkowski and Demi Moore are only a few of the stars who rely on them for a radiant sweep of contour.

Now if you know anything about makeup, you’ll be well aware that neither a celeb endorsement or cult-fave status is anything new for Charlotte Tilbury products – the Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray ($54 at Charlotte Tilbury), Hollywood Flawless Filter ($70 at Charlotte Tilbury), Pillow Talk Lipstick ($54 at Charlotte Tilbury), Magic Cream ($149 at Charlotte Tilbury), and Beautiful Skin Foundation ($70 at Charlotte Tilbury) have all gone viral for all the right reasons.

So it's really no surprise that these Contour Wands are every bit as premium – they do exactly what they say they’re going to do, and they do it damn well. To apply like a pro, you simply want to dot the cushion applicator (handy) onto the hollows of anywhere you’re looking to define – think the hollows of the cheeks, forehead, and jawline. Then just blend with a brush (or your fingers if that’s your personal preference), and admire the results.

You’ll be amazed at how soft and seamless the results are, whilst still delivering a seriously impressive sculpt. We aren’t surprised at the quality (it’s Charlotte Tilbury, after all), but we are delighted by the shade expansion. Please report back upon discovering your perfect shade.
