Charlotte Tilbury’s viral contour wands launch in 5 new shades with skin blurring technology

Charlotte Tilbury’s Hollywood Contour Wand is nothing short of iconic. Since its launch in 2017, it’s become a must-have for anyone wanting a sculpted, Hollywood glow. You know the one – chiselled cheekbones, a snatched jawline and a touch of luminosity that screams “I woke up like this” (even if we very much didn’t).

It’s no wonder this little tube of magic has developed a cult following, with celebs, make-up artists and beauty lovers all raving about its creamy, blendable formula. But for years, the shade range was, let’s be honest, a bit limited compared to some of the other contour wands from recent years. If you weren’t lucky enough to find your perfect match, you probably sought after a ‘dupe’ brand.

But Charlotte Tilbury is nothing if not an excellent listener, and the wands are now available in five brand-new shades so everyone can get a sculpted slice of her contour magic.

  • Fair: Designed for those with porcelain to light skin tones, this shade offers a subtle contour that enhances natural features without overpowering.

  • Medium: Ideal for individuals with light-medium to medium skin tones, providing a balanced contour that adds depth and dimension.

  • Tan: Perfect for tan to medium-deep skin tones, this shade delivers a warm contour that accentuates the natural warmth of the skin.

  • Tan Deep: Crafted for very deep skin tones, this shade provides an intense contour that beautifully complements the skin’s natural depth.

  • Deep: Suited for deep skin tones, offering a rich contour that defines and enhances facial structure.

The five shades join the two existing shades: Fair Medium and Medium Deep.

The formula

The foolproof cushion applicator delivers just the right amount of product, while the creamy, buildable formula makes blending effortless. Simply swipe, blend, and sculpt. Plus, the weightless texture layers seamlessly over both liquid and powder make-up without settling into lines, giving you plenty of time to blend before it sets to a natural finish.

Charlotte’s signature Light-Blur Hydra Technology adds a soft 3D sculpting effect that flatters in every light. Whether you’re after subtly defined cheekbones or a full red-carpet-ready look, this versatile formula delivers results that are always polished and professional.

The new shades put to the test

Zoe, Mirror’s head of beauty, put the Fair shade to the test on her pale (drab, she notes specifically) winter skin and was thoroughly impressed. She shares, “As someone with a lighter complexion, finding a contour product that doesn’t appear too harsh can be challenging. The Fair shade of Charlotte Tilbury’s Contour Wand blends seamlessly, giving me a natural, sculpted look without any harsh lines. It’s become a new favourite in my daily makeup routine.

“I used to use the Light Medium shade, but during the winter months, I sometimes found the tone to be a little deep for me, so this is perfect for seeing me through to spring. I also swatched the other shades and I was really impressed by the pigment and their depth. The deep shade, which other brands with similar products have struggled to develop with depth, tone and pigment, looks great. I’m excited to see all of them tested out by beauty experts with different skin tones to me.”

While Charlotte Tilbury’s Contour Wand is the ultimate make-up bag must-have, there are more budget-friendly alternatives that deliver impressive results. One option is e.l.f.’s Halo Glow Contour Beauty Wand, priced at £9. This product has been praised for its blendability and natural finish, making it a great choice for those looking to achieve a contoured look without splurging.
