Kryolan is known as one of the world’s first professional make-up brands. So when its store was launched in Bangalore, I was really excited to check it out. They have all things, ranging from lipsticks, glosses, foundations, highlighters, makeup pallets, brushes, etc. Today I will be reviewing the contour sticks I got from there. This product is called paint sticks. It is smooth, lustrous and highly pigmented. Gives great coverage and has a smooth matte finish even though it’s a cream based product.

My Experience with Kryolan TV Paint Sticks
The paint sticks are lustrous. They are creamy and smooth to touch and spread evenly even without a moisturizer. The sticks are highly pigmented and can cover dark spots and marks with just two strokes. They can be applied on any part of the skin, be it on the face to give it a well-defined jawline or in the arms to cover dark spots.

- Blends easily

- Easy to carry the stick
NEGATIVES
- Ingredients are not clearly mentioned on the stick
- It is quite expensive; costs 1200/- rupees per stick

Overall Would I Recommend Or Repurchase?
Personally, I would not repurchase this product as I am not a pro makeup artist working in theater or film industry. I use it only for myself and the product comes in great quantity. It gets expired in about three years but the sticks are big enough to last even longer. I would prefer buying a smaller version for the same product but that option is not available yet.
I will definitely recommend this product to theater and film makeup artists as it gives an amazing, smooth, non-patchy finish on application.
