As a fan of contouring but never good at it, I am always on the lookout for new contouring products that will make my life & contouring easier. When Clinique anounced their new Hello Cheekbones collection, I am quiet excited to see what the brand has to offer. Clinique's Hello Cheekbones aims to offer two easy ways to enhance the bone structure that we are born with. In other words, it's contouring and highlighting made easy.
The main products for Clinique Hello Cheekbones* are the Sculptionary Contouring Pallet, Chubby Stick Sculpting Contour, and the Chubby Stick Sculpting Highlight. The Sculptionary Sculpting Palette comes in 4 shades which are Defining Nectars, Defining Roses, Defining Berries, and Defining Nudes. All 4 palettes works the same way but the difference is the different shades of the blush. The pallet is a tri-toned compact which consists of one blush, one contour, and one highlighter. You can use them separately for a well-sculpted cheeks or you can swirl around your to all three shades to get a nice flush and glow-y cheeks. I personally use it together as the three shades just combine so well and gives a unique but natural colour on my cheeks. It is like you made a lot of effort in your blush but you actually don't. It is like blush in a rush but with a very well-put together finish.
The Chubby Stick Sculpting Highlight comes in the shade Hefty Highlight. What I like about this is that I can just apply it easily without having to use any brushes. It is like highlighter on the go. You can just basically carry it with you as you can re-apply it with ease anytime and anywhere. It is champagne-y with a hint of pinkness to it and is shimmery without being over the top. As it has a hint of pink to it, it appears more natural on the cheeks whilst still giving you the right glow. The Chubby Stick Sculpting Contour is what I am most excited with amongst all the products in the collection. It is contouring made super easy for everyone. You just basically apply it to where you want to contour and blend it in. It is also good as a bronzer to warm up your complexion. A word of caution, you should apply it lightly first and work your way according to your preference on how much you really need to contour those lovely cheekbones.
Overall, Clinique Hello Cheekbone is a really good collection and is worth trying for especially if you are looking for an easy-peasy way to highlight and contour. The whole range is available online and in all Clinique counters nationwide on the 6th of February. Till' next time :)

The palette is indeed very gorgeous. It gives a nice glow to the cheeks. Xx
DeleteI like the idea of the Chubby Stick Contour and Highlight Set. I like cream type contours as sometimes these blend out much smoother into foundation. The champagne tone of the highlighter sounds gorgeous :) xx

I find it easier too to use cream ones and for the same reasons that you stated. It also gives a more natural finish. Xx
DeleteThe contour stick looks fool-proof! And I love the look of the powders :) xx

But with your gorgeous cheekbones, you don't really need the contour stick but the sculptionary blush palette will be perfect for you. Xx
DeleteHello Cheekbones sounds like an amazing collection - your blog is the first place I've heard about it! The contour stick sounds so useful, I'm terrible at contouring so hopefully that will help! :)

The other day I was at a Clinique counter and I didn't know what to purchase, you know those times when you just feel like splurging a little but never really know what to buy hahaha.

I quiet understand that feeling. When you want to spend money, there's really nothing that appeals to you and we yoy have none, everything is so covetable. Xx
