I was terrified of contouring until I tried this ridiculously easy sculpting stick

As a lover of subtle and low-maintenance makeup, contouring and all the blending it entails has never really appealed to me. Sculpted-looking cheekbones, on the other hand, have. So, after years of avoiding the technique, I finally caved and added the famed Westman Atelier Face Trace stick to my arsenal.

When it comes to my makeup routine, I like to keep things subtle and natural-looking as I find anything too heavy - like a very 'done' smokey eye, winged liner or bold lipstick - can quickly overwhelm my features and (ghostly) pale complexion. Glowing skin, by way of radiance-boosting primers and the best foundations is, therefore, my beauty bread and butter. So, you can probably understand why I found contouring so daunting. It always seemed very complicated, and the thought of accidentally leaving the house with any unblended lines was enough to make me shudder.
