'I tried Victoria Beckham's 'secret' to a slimmer, more contoured face and was floored by the results'

Victoria Beckham is known for her effortless glam and razor-sharp cheekbones. While Posh Spice is blessed with good bone structure, one of her beauty brand's bestselling product promises to give a helping hand to those of us who need it.

The Victoria Beckham Beauty Contour Stylus is a slim, creamy crayon is designed to precisely shape and sculpt the face - making thick, muddy streaks on the face from heavy creams a thing of the past. Available in four shades, it costs £35 and can be picked up from Selfridges or the Victoria Beckham Beauty website.

With that in mind writer Laura Mulley decided to pick up the Contour Stylus and put the crayons to the test to see if they live up to the hype.

I'm not exactly a pro when it comes to make-up and I definitely lean towards a natural look over a heavy 'Instagram' style, so contouring isn't something I often attempt. However, I'm always on the hunt for a sharper looking jawline and cheekbones – and I've loved every product I've tried from Victoria Beckham Beauty – so I was eager to give this luxe-looking crayon a whirl.

I opted for Travertine, the lightest shade out of the four, and was immediately taken with how creamy the stick was – it melted into the skin like butter – and it was a good shade: neither too warm nor too grey. After applying my foundation and concealer, I drew lines on my face where the VB website instructed me to: under my cheekbones, along my jawline and down the sides and tip of my nose.

I then blended these in well (using my foundation brush for the cheeks and my fingers down my nose), reports the Mirror. I was genuinely taken aback by the results. It was a subtle change, but my face appeared more refined, without any obvious streaks or grey shadows.

Besides the usual three spots for contouring, I used the VB Contour Stylus on two other areas of my face that I believe had an even greater impact. I drew a bit under my bottom lip and on my Cupid's bow, which instantly gave my lips a fuller look – a trick favoured by celebrity make-up artist Mario Dedivanovic, Jennifer Lopez, and Mrs Beckham herself.

I also applied it into my eye socket line and beneath my lower lashes; as someone who rarely bothers with eyeshadow, this provided my eyes with a hint of definition, as OK! mentions. It made my face appear more defined overall, almost as if I'd applied an Instagram filter over it – and since it also serves as a lip liner and eyeshadow, it quickly became t he most versatile item in my make-up bag.

If you're on the hunt for more foolproof contouring products, I highly recommend Milk Makeup Sculpt Stick, £22, and Fenty Beauty Match Stix Matte Skinstick, £25.
