What the gurus are saying

The built-in brush and liquid formula make this straightforward to apply and blend, with reviewers calling out how pigmented the color is and praising the range, which includes deeper shades for those who need them. What sets it apart is how innovative the design felt when it launched; gurus note the formula adds visible structure to the face and say the application feels intuitive whether you dot it on and blend with a beauty blender or work directly with the brush.

    "My contour is from Charlotte Tilbury, the contour wand in tan/deep. And they have one that's even deeper than this. It's like really chocolatey. [...] The highlighting contour not only brings dimension back into your face because if you go and put one wash of the same color all over, it kind of makes you one-dimensional. This brings back the dimension, but not only that, it also brings back that natural coloring a lot of us tend to have. Darker around the perimeter, lighter in the center."

    "This is one of their contour wands. It's a liquid product but you've got this like brush, almost like a built-in blending brush in the product. I use this as a contour, so I just kind of dot it around and I use my beauty blender to blend it out. But the color on this is freaking amazing. This is so pigmented."

    "I love this formula because it's kind of watery in the best way. It just blends itself into the skin. It's really foolproof. Especially this shade, I feel like you don't have to worry about adding too much when the shade works well for your skin tone."

    "It's cream but it's lighter weight than a cream. This goes on so dark that you're like oh gosh oh no but then it blends out so beautifully and it looks so subtle and gorgeous on the skin. I have it on up here at my hairline, on my cheeks, down here on my nose. It's there but it's not there. It's so subtle. It's so beautiful. I just love that one because it blends away to almost nothing but yet it's still there giving you that little bit of contour that you want."

    What the evidence says.

    Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

    Sunscreen filters

    Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.
