em michelle phan - Chiaroscuru Contour and Highlighter Stick Review
Monday, December 09, 2013
Hey guys! Today I have a review on the em michelle phan Chiaroscuru contour and highlighter stick. This was one of the items I snagged from the Black Friday super sale! I have been wanting to try products from em cosmetics for a while but could never justify the price for what I was purchasing, especially not having tried it yet. I figured this was the chance to get in on the action.
Let me just say that the packaging truly is amazing. It's a nice glossy box with lots of details and is also pretty heavy duty. I am keeping my stick in the box it came in.
This is what the outside of the stick looks like once you're taken it out of the box. It is heavy duty plastic and fits right into your hand!
When you remove the cap on either end, it will expose this sleek, buttery product to either contour your face or highlight it. I have the shade medium because that's what I get for most products including concealer and some foundations.
At first glance it almost looks like the shades will be too dark or look odd on your skin tone. At least it was that way for me. Who would ever think that a highlight would be so rosy or brown? Well, the only way to ever find out is to swatch and use it, right?
After swatching it on my arm and blending it in, I couldn't wait to try it on my face. You'll notice that the two just blend right in to my skin and into each other. When I do my daily makeup, instead of using my bronzer powder, I now use the em cosmetics chiaroscuru stick. It's so natural. It glides on smooth and blends in to basically nothing giving you the perfect natural contour and highlight.
Overall, I am SUPER impressed with this. Am I $25 impressed? I'm not sure yet. It's definitely a deal at 50% off their retail price, which is what I got it for.
Stay tuned for my next review which will be on the Party Life Palette, which I also got at 50% off. =)

Thank you for the swatches! I've been curious about this product since it seems so convenient. I can't wait to see your life palette review.
ReplyDeleteLooks great! I really wanted to buy from their sale too but sadly they aren't shipping to Canada yet.

ReplyDeleteOh, nice. I would love to try her products but ain't no way I'll ever spend that kind of money. I suppose I'll have to wait for some deals as well. Thanks for the review!
