NYX Sculpt & Highlight Face Duo in Almond/Light : Swatches & Review

Post By: Sam Sheokand

I am not that much into hardcore makeup (contouring & highlighting), but when Nisha, offered me to do a post on her newly grabbed NYX Sculpt & Highlight Face Duo, I was more than excited. Read on my review on this tube.

NYX Sculpt & Highlight Face Duo in Almond/Light- SHFD02

Use our sculpt & highlight Face Duo for an effortless transformation! Our liquid formula has buildable coverage and will blend seamlessly for a flawless contour.

Ingredient:

Water/Aqua, Trimethylsioxysilicate, Trimethylsiloxyphenyl, ?Dimethicone, Isononyl Isononanote, Caprylic / Capric Triglyceride, Silica, Sorbtian Olivate, Euphorbia Cerifera, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Cocos Nucifera, Tocophryl Acetate, Caprylyl Glycol, Xanthan Gum, Triethoxycaprylylsilane, Alumina, Phenoxyethanol.

Packaging:

I like tube packaging specially because they are easy to carry around. NYX Duo, also comes in a tube with wand. Its just so easy to apply and toss back into your travel pouch. Perfect for touch ups too. Make sure to open either highlighter or the contouring end at a time, otherwise you will spill the other.

Shade:

Almond/Light- SHFD02 . This particular shade will suit light to light medium shades. The highlighter shade is yellow toned while the contouring shade is Almond, the final finish is little orange-ish.

Smell:

Very artificial non pleasant smell. But you don’t smell it until you put the wand under your nose.

Consistency & pigmentation:

Oil free smooth liquid. I generally use Maybelline Fit Me concealer as under eye highlighter too, I find the NYX DUO’s highlighter shade similar to maybelline’s concealer. The final finish is also the same. NYX Duo’s highlighter’s pigmentation is as good as maybelline’s concealer.I don’t use a concealer for my under eyes, when I am using this highlighter. Coming to the contour shade, the pigmentation is good enough to make an instant difference. I found the texture of the contouring shade bit thicker than the highlighter.

Staying Power:

The product stays put for 4-5 hours on my oily skin. On Normal-Dry skin it will last longer.

Finish:

Since the product is oil free, it gives matte but natural finish. Also it depends how beautifully you blend it. I used sponges/ beauty blenders to blend it.
