NYX Wonder Stick Contour & Highlighter Stick Fair 8G

This NYX Wonder Stick Two-In-One Cream Contour Stick and Highlighter Stick is WONDER-FUL!! The color choices range from Fair (which is what I’m using) to Deep Rich. This is vegan and cruelty free. I love having a convenient and portable contour-on-the-go product plus I believe for those that are unsure how to contour, this dual stick makes it easier. The formulation is creamy but not soft and it glides on effortlessly. You can use your fingers, beauty sponge or makeup brush to blend. I just used my fingers. This is not greasy at all nor does it look too dark as long as you get the right color for your skin tone. I used it under my cheekbones, the side and center of my nose and around my jawline.

I love this product! I was totally intimidated by contouring until I found the Wonder Stick. I had no idea what color to choose between universal and light/medium. I went with light medium as I couldn't really determine the color in the tube or from swatch. Much to my pleasant surprise it's perfect. The darker color is not too orangey or too gray, it's just right for my light to medium complexion. No shimmer at all. The light end is more of a cream almost yellow, it adds perfect brightness without shimmer or too white. I rarely use an entire container of too many things because I'm a junkie bit I keep going back to this for it's ease of use and all around great performance. All that being said I decided to give the Universal shade a try. It's a big no for me. Dark ... MoreI love this product! I was totally intimidated by contouring until I found the Wonder Stick.

Stick to the defined colors. Universal was not Universal in my opinion. I have provided swatches.

Bring Back Previous Blend/Formulas-No Glitter

I, too, have spent a lot of money, time, and exchanges trying to replace my Wonder Stick, Dual End Face Shaping Stick. I have used this product for a few years, now. Thought, WOW, I hit the jackpot for multi-purpose base makeup. Great for blemish touchup, highlight, contouring, and 100% replaced my foundation. Perfect blend of the 2 end colors. Now, I can't find the same product. I thought well there's apparently 2 different lines and my store isn't carrying the original, only this shimmer, glitter, shiny one. I find it horrible for my skin tone. The light end shines no matter how I blend it. Even through a light touch of my pressed powder compact. I've tried 3 different color combos & can not find my go to, please bring back the "flat" shades! I've already had to ... MoreI, too, have spent a lot of money, time, and exchanges trying to replace my Wonder Stick, Dual End Face Shaping Stick. I have used this product for a few years, now.

So, so disappointed ☹️ It wasn't broke!

Contour novice's BFF

I really truly had no idea where to start with contouring. I'm white as a ghost so I figured I would try this in "Universal Light" - now it's a staple in my makeup bag anytime I need to quickly level up my look. It's helped me find other contouring products too by giving me something for shade matching. I will say I primarily use the contour side as I'm obsessed with Ofra highlighters and tend to use them almost exclusively - but again, if I'm in a rush, this is a perfect solution. Since I don't wear foundation really (I'm *very* blessed with my skin), I can get a pretty flawless look if I throw this in my purse with concealer (undereyes + spot coverage), pink lipstick (lips + cheeks), eyeliner, and mascara. This stick takes care of the contouring and the highlight ... MoreI really truly had no idea where to start with contouring.

This stick takes care of the contouring and the highlight end covers highlighting AND eyeshadow, if I feel like it. 😊 I'm all about easy and this is about as easy as it gets.

I IMPLORE YOU CORPORATION BRING THE OLD ONE BACK

Please corporate overlords I am begging you on my knees, bring the old one back.The old wonder stick was my holy grail, I loved it so much, the shade light medium was perfect, it had an amazing texture, beautiful cool shades and a great price. Shimmer is the all-eating plague consuming the makeup world, your old wonder stick was the bomb, and now I find out that you didn't just change the packaging-but the shades, making the contour warm-toned (there is enough orange contours out there! You were the chosen one!) and the highlight shimmer. I used this for cosplay to give myself a completely new bone structure-now I'd just look like a christmas ornament.Please, bring the old one back, I am Desperate.

I love half of this product

The formulas are so smooth to blend and are nicely pigmented for the price. However, the shades for fair skin are very misleading and lead me to a dilemma every time I purchase one. The Universal light shade has my perfect highlighter, but the contour oxidizes and looks terribly orange on my skin. However, if i buy in shade fair, the contour is perfect but the highlighter is too dark for my skin tone. I wish they would swap the shades because the highlighter on your fairest shade shouldn't be darker than some of the other shades. Defeats the whole purpose of the product if i have to buy two.

Late to the Convo

I purchased 01-Fair after returning my $32 fenty beauty highlight stick in purrrl. I was hoping for a natural none shimmery highlighter but the FB one just didn’t show up on my skin. Decided for a cheaper option, and didn’t realize wonderstick also comes with contour. I’m not huge into contour, but tried a little with the highlighter and it looks great on my fair skin. Not sure why others are complaining about the new formula, perhaps they need to lay off the makeup, because for a minimal natural makeup look, this stuff goes on smoothly and suits skin tone well. Highlighter (again, using 01-fair) is not shiny or too shimmery. Thank you

Misleading- Buyer Beware!

I've loved my original Fair contour sticks from Nyx fot years. Recently purchased the same product only to find the color is completely different on both ends. This "contour" shade looks terrible on fair skin as a contour. Should be advertized as a bronzer or at the very least being transparent about the fact that the colors have changed quite a bit. This is the second time I've purchased the Fair contour stick in hopes that the first time I recieved a totally new color was a fluke. Alas, they changed the formula and the color and didn't mark the listing anywhere. Not for cool toned complexions as they lead you to believe, unfortunately. It's a shame because the old color was perfect for my skin.

Please please please bring back the original

The original Wonder Stick was a staple for years. Loved it. I bought the new one in Fair...ugh. The highlight shade was a terrible gold shimmer that looks horribly unnatural and gauche. The original highlight shade in Light was a lovely pale natural shade that beautifully contrasted with the contour and really popped on the areas you wanted to highlight. The new one is a shimmery mess. I wore it twice and the second time my best friend looked at me and said "what is that greasy orange on your face?" It went straight nto the bin post-haste.

Universal Light didn't feel universal

I’m an Asian female with light-medium skin tone and neutral undertone. I purchased the Universal Light color and felt that it looked too orange-y on me. I tried it multiple times on different days thinking maybe I’m applying or blending it wrong and perhaps the color would grow on me. Unfortunately it didn’t work out, and I ended up returning it. Might work for other beauties with a different complexion. After much research, I purchased Fenty’s Match Stix in Amber Suede - the color is sooo much better against my skin tone!
