The color was much paler than anticipated, making us believe Kim's tweets saying she uses the deep dark color when she's tan. But the paler parties were left with slightly more prominent cheekbones and a light glow. None of our testers suddenly passed for a member of the Kardashian Klan. But the cream colors don't feel heavy, a very pleasant surprise. The matte highlighter, on the other hand, is a little cakey.Ĭall us jaded, but it's hard not to assume Kim is always coated in heavy makeup, even after her recent adoption of the minimal trend. However, the silky texture makes it easy to rub off. The contour color glides on and blends smoothly. The dual brush / sponge is also a good size but cheap-seeming, and the coarse brush feels as if it blends away the contouring. We opted for a purist approach instead: a trusted beauty blender sponge and our fingers. The matte side also broke off during one of our first applications - luckily, we believe in the five-second rule and popped it back on. But suffice it to say, a season of Keeping Up With the Kardashians will outlast this stuff. If we were math (rather than journalism) majors, we'd calculate how many uses one could get on average. However, there's very little makeup in each stick. Two suggestively shaped sticks come with each kit, one a darker shade for contouring, the other lighter for highlighting with matte and shimmer sides. The slim size makes them easy to hold, and they have nice almond-shaped tips so users can get a precise application along the nose and eyes.
