The Sonia Kashuk trendy Defining Stick ($10.99)
Both baked golden brown cream sticks have a matte surface (here are swatches of NARS Cappadoce), as well as both of them can rapidly sculpt cheekbones that would rival Johnny Depp’s circa the O.G. 21 jump street era.
Both of them are likewise simple to blend on bare skin or atop foundation — most likely because of exactly how lightweight as well as thin they are, which is great, since it keeps my skin from feeling like it’s suffocating under an inch of plaster.

Where the two differ, many obviously, is cost ($10.99 versus $39), however likewise in the shape of the tip. The Multiple’s is huskier, larger as well as flatter, as well as it covers much more surface area while sitting flush against the skin, whereas the suggestion on Sonia’s trendy Defining Stick has a somewhat smaller (but still husky), rounded, much more accurate suggestion that seems to in shape the area under my cheekbones a bit better.

Sonia’s likewise has somewhat grayish taupe undertones, which I believe may provide it a little advantage when it concerns shaping out the hollows of the cheekbones, where the subtle gray much more carefully imitates the appearance of genuine shadows. When taking a look at it strictly as a contouring product, I believe Sonia’s Chick Defining Stick makes a extremely compelling situation for being much better than a NARS Multiple.

But, if you’re searching for a cream product able to do much more than just contouring, Cappadoce may be worth the additional booty. It’s a much more buttery golden brown and, consequently, most likely a bit much better for adding some toasty warmth to your face, neck, shoulders, arms as well as anywhere else.
Cappadoce likewise lasts a tad longer on my combination skin — about 6-7 hours — than Sonia’s trendy Defining Stick, which I discover myself touching up after 4-5.

Really, though, I believe both of these contouring products are champs. One is just a great deal less costly than the other.
