How to Use Beauty Wands for Contour, Highlight, and Blusher
Beauty wands are all the rage for those looking for the ultimate glowy complexion. But what exactly are they? And how do you use them? Read on to learn more about these viral radiance-boosting products.
What Are Beauty Wands and What Makes Them Different?
Beauty wands are makeup products designed to help your skin look fresh and dewy. What sets them apart from other products is their formulae and unique applicator design. The formulae are typically a gel-cream texture that glides onto skin and dries quickly. This gives you the ultimate glow that doesn’t look dry or cakey. Instead, you’re left with a luminescent soft-focus finish. The applicator is a cushiony sponge-like tip that deposits just the right amount of product exactly where you want it allowing you to wield your wand and brighten your complexion everywhere. You can get these beauty wands in many types including contour wands, highlight wands, and blush wands to create the perfect glow every time.
How to Use Contour Wands?
Contour wands will help to sculpt and enhance your complexion. Dot the contour beauty wand just under your cheekbones to define your cheeks, on either side of your nose to give it a slimmer appearance, and along the jawline to lift your face. Blend with your fingers or a buffing brush. Choose colours that are a shade or two darker than your natural colour and have a bit of a warm bronze undertone.

How to Use Highlighter Wands
Highlighter wands will give you a “lit-from-within” glow and accentuate your bone structure. Dot the highlight beauty wand above your cheekbones to lift your complexion, down the bridge of your nose to define it, and under your brow bones to give your eyes a more youthful and lifted look. Blend with your fingers or a buffing brush. Choose colours that are a neutral beige/moonstone colour to minimise the chance of the luminosity turning too grey on you.

Choose shades in a warm peachy pink to flatter and warm up any skin tone.
