How to use Fenty Beauty Match Stix?

[MandaPandaxx]

I am a quite a fair skinned lady (120 In Fenty Beauty Foundation), and I have sensitive, combination skin that leans neutral toned. I have been contouring for quite a few years now and have tried many products (Tarte, TooFaced, Anastasia, etc.) but most colors and shades I’ve tried are either too dark and warm, or just too ashy. When I do contour I tend to layer blush and bronzer over it for a more natural, blended look. I saw that Fenty Beauty is having a sale today on her match stix... I ordered the Amber shade for contouring. Is this the correct shade for me? And do I need to order “the trio” of the contour, highlighter, and blush to make them work together? One last question sorry!- how does everyone blend these stix out? -thank you xoxo

Hey girl!! I LOVE fenty, since the brand has launched I’ve been an active buyer and fan of the product. While some of the products from Fenty are holy grail items on my vanity, there are a few products Iwould recommend before the matchstix. For one, they’re rather drying, soif you’re not working on a seamlessly perfect, hydrated, primed, canvas, the finish can look patchy and not last very long. Also, they don’t set that well. They crease into fine lines and rub off. I recommend YSLtouché eclat concealer, Kevyn aucoin sculpting powder, Charlotte Tilbury concealing wand, makeup forever HD stick foundation, Bobbi brown correctors, nars liquid blush, nars stick blush and bronzer.. just a few

Hi @MandaPandaxx! I think amber will be the perfect shade for you considering it is more cool tone, so it'll be great for contour. I find these match stix to be a little drying, so I would suggest warming up the product on the back of your hand and then take your brush and grab some product. I would then press/stipple the contour in. Avoid rubbing so you don't move your foundation around! I hope this helps ❤️
