Charlotte Tilbury’s Hollywood Contour Wand has gone viral on TikTok.

This cushion bronzer-highlighter-blush hybrid promises to sculpt cheekbones, instantly.

One editor tested the wand to see if it was worth the hype and loved the results.

TikTok sees the rise and fall of many beauty products. Some go viral and sell out instantly, while others never make it onto the discover page. One formula, however, remains consistently sold out because people on TikTok just can’t get enough: the Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Contour Wand ($40). (It’s so good, the hybrid product was a pro pick in our POPSUGAR Beauty Awards.)

Ever since Madison Beer mentioned how much she loves one of the shades, the wands have been flying off the shelves for months at a time. Being the curious person that I am, I knew I had to try it out. Luckily, I was able to get my hands on one during the brand’s latest restock.

Housed in a slim, portable “wand” applicator, the product is a chic addition to any makeup bag and comes in two shades: Light to Medium and Medium to Dark. (I do think a broader shade range is needed here, as it would be very difficult for two options to work across all skin tones.)

In terms of packaging, one of the most fascinating parts of the product to me was the doe-foot cushion applicator. My slightly type-A heart sang when I came to the realization that you can just dot the pigment onto the specific area of your face you want, and then blend with the included cushion. (You can also smear it on in a line like you would other contour, but I decided to dot it, so I could easily blend it out.)

When I swiped it along my cheekbone, I noticed that the consistency was creamier than I expected. While it’s not a liquid, it still left behind a dewy finish, which I loved.

Blending it out left behind a very subtle hint of color, so I added an extra layer. Then, I went ahead and contoured my forehead and chin — stopping in the middle of the face — to compare if there was a real difference in the buildable coverage.

As you can see, in comparison to the other side of my face, I did look a bit more chiseled. This product created more of a “shadow” on my face, a subtle contour versus that harsh Instagram contour circa 2016, so you’re after a more natural look, this wand delivers. While I would not wear this product alone, it definitely laid the groundwork for me to follow up with another powder contour product, which would make the overall contoured effect on my face that much stronger.

In all, I can totally understand why people love this product. It’s easy to use, and it gives a subtle contoured effect to the cheekbones, which is fantastic when doing makeup for a camera. Points were definitely made here.

We grew up with the iconic supermodels of the ’90s — Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell, Claudia Schiffer. They just oozed star powder. And then we became obsessed with America’s Next Top Model, perfecting Tyra Banks’ signature smize from our couch. Supermodels always seem to glow, and we’d give anything to replicate their radiance.

Well, now we can! One of our absolute favorite models Gigi Hadid is known for her golden skin and dewy complexion. So, we were thrilled that the co-host of Next in Fashion season two revealed her sunkissed secret to Elle: “I use Charlotte Tilbury Supermodel Body,” she said. “It’s the best tanning glow for your skin. It’s not too much color. It’s just a little bit of color, a little bit of glow. It highlights in the right places and it’s great.”

I spent £250 on a beauty pallet & ended up with tonnes of designer make-up, including THAT Charlotte Tilbury foundation

SNAPPING up a returns pallet is all the rage these days.

And while it’s a gamble as to whether or not you get anything good in them, YouTuber and TikToker Lunahtic seems to be hitting the jackpot every time.

Following the success of her recent Amazon returns pallet, Luna decided to splash out and spend £250 on a beauty one - the most requested pallet among her social media followers.

She took to YouTube to share a video of herself unboxing the haul, which came in a huge crate to her home in the Scottish Highlands.

“The pallet came a couple of days ago,” she said, explaining that she has also purchased a Samsung steriliser to potentially return lightly used products to their former glory.

While Luna admitted she’s not the biggest make-up fan in the world, fans were quick to spot some designer items in the box.

Most notably was the items from make-up artist of the moment Charlotte Tilbury, including the £75 Magic Cream Light, the £23 Pillow Talk Push Up Lashes mascara and the £55 Instant Look of Love in a Palette.

There was even a bottle of the £34 Airbrush Flawless Foundation - a staple for any TikToker - and the Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray, £26, to go with it.

“For all the new stuff alone, and I’ve still got boxes and boxes, I think it was a pretty good deal,” Luna commented.

There was also a MORPHE eyeshadow palette that retails for £39, and a tube of Elemis Marine Collagen cleanser which still had the safety foil attached to the opening.

The box also contained a tonne of high street make-up options, including numerous Revolution eyeshadow palettes, several mascaras and a tonne of Kiko beauty products.

“I’m just going over everything with an antibacterial wipe and then I will sort out what I want to keep and what I want to get rid of,” Luna explained as she shared a time lapse video of herself sorting out the haul.

And while she admitted that she “now has a bit too much make-up”, it’s not stopping her from planning her next pallet purchase.

She told viewers that she’s put an order in for a household returns pallet - which was the second most requested one on her pages.

Speaking of returns pallets, this woman spent £500 on a wedding dress returns one, and ended up with dresses worth £40,000.

This lady bought a £270 homeware returns pallet and ended up with £1,800 worth of stuff.

And this is where you can buy your very own mystery returns pallet.

Cool, warm, neutral; what your ‘undertone’ reveals about you and how to find yours

]

When it comes to buying a foundation, fair, medium and dark don’t cut it anymore.

Thank goodness so many beauty brands have moved past once restrictive colour options and made serious headway in embracing all shades of skin diversity and inclusivity in their product ranges.

Now with so many shades on offer, there’s no excuse for not being able to find your perfect match. But for a flawless natural-looking finish, it’s also essential to get your undertone right.

Are you cool, warm or neutral? No clue? We spoke to Brand Ambassador & Product and Content Creator at Charlotte Tilbury - and Charlotte’s own niece - Sofia Tilbury to find out her genius hack for nailing your undertone, and why it might just reveal more about you than you realised.

Undertones, what do they even mean?

“These three tones - cool, warm or neutral - refer to the undertones that we all have in our skin. Your undertone is the pigment that lies underneath the surface of your skin and affects your overall hue. It never changes, and as a makeup artist, I can usually work out my clients’ undertone at a glance!

“If you’re cool, you tend to have pink, blue or red running through your complexion, you’re the type that burns easily in the sun and you suit silver jewellery best.

“If you’re warm, you’ll have yellow, peach and gold pigments in the skin, you tan easily in the sun and gold jewellery looks best on you.

“If you’re neutral, you’ll have a combination of the two, maybe even with gorgeous olive tones! Charlotte wanted to make it super easy for everyone to get flawlessly matched on CharlotteTilbury.com, so choosing your undertone is one of the first steps to make sure you find your perfect shade every time!”

What happens if you choose the wrong one?

“I often jump between a few different shades depending on the effect I want to achieve! Using a warmer foundation is great when your skin feels pale or ashy—it adds a golden bronzed effect. On the other hand, a neutral shade is perfect for matching with your complexion when you’ve got a nice, olive tan, and cool shades are ideal for neutralising and letting your natural beauty shine through if you have reddish tones in your complexion.

“The genius thing about Charlotte’s new Beautiful Skin Foundation is that it has been formulated with a neutralised base and sheer pigment, which means it gives you amazing stretch in every shade. It’s fool proof! Each shade morphs to your skin tone so you can blend and build for a flattering finish.”

What’s your top tip for working out your undertone?

“These are a few tests you can do yourself to work out which undertone would suit you best.

“One of my favourite ways to detect your undertone is to examine the veins on your inner wrist: if they appear blue/purple, you’re cool; if they look green, you’re warm, and if you can’t tell which colour they are, you’re probably neutral!

“Looking at your hair and eyes is also a useful example. If you have icy blue eyes and cool, ashy blonde hair, that is a good indicator that your undertone would be cool. If you have golden tones running through the roots of your hair and in the pigment of your eyes, your undertone would be warm.

What colours suit each undertone best?

“I find that colours like grey, black, blue and pastel pinks will suit cooler undertones, whilst colours such as golds, browns, greens and oranges suit warmer undertones.

“If you’re neutral, you’re lucky! Olive complexions tend to suit every colour!”

Charlotte Tilbury’s new Beautiful Skin Foundation is available in 30 shades, including cool, warm and medium undertones at CharlotteTilbury.com and Mecca.
