What You Need to Know About Tarte The Sculptor Contouring Face Slenderizer

I’m not sure if you have heard, but contouring is kind of a thing right now.

I pre-ordered tarte’s The Sculptor Contouring Face Slenderizer in Park Avenue Princess the moment I found out about it last year and have been faithfully using it since (and it has perpetually been on my list of products to review.)

Since then, tarte has come out with two other shades so I finally cracked down and decided to review the product.

Precision Contouring

Now, a disclaimer is in order when it comes to my thoughts on facial contouring: the high cheekbones and chiseled jawlines of the original 1990s supermodels shaped my aesthetic view greatly. Think Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington, Cindy Crawford…really, anyone in the “Freedom ’90” video (and Lyn just reminded me – Paulina Porizkova too.)

So my approach to contouring is more obvious features, not obvious contouring, which is why I like tarte’s product line.

The Sculptor is a twist-up crayon type pencil. It is easy to draw it right onto the area you want to contour, and then blend. It is buildable without a waxy muddled look. It blends nicely.

It comes in two shades, both very wearable and natural looking hues. Unlike powder contours it blends easily with no fallout.

IF I COULD CHANGE ONE THING

The only downside is it requires its own sharpener (sold separately) to keep that nice crisp line, but it works without a sharpener because it just swivels up from the base. Personally I opted against the sharpener.
