Contour Stick

Description

Our Contour Stick is a creamy contour stick that glides on smoothly and blends easily, so you can add natural-looking definition to your cheekbones, jawline and nose. The lightweight, buildable formula gives you full control over how soft or defined your contour looks.

What does a contour stick do?

Contouring uses shadow to add shape and dimension to the face. A cream contour stick is the easiest way to place it precisely, and cream melts into foundation for a soft, skin-like finish.

Key benefits

• Precise application: the stick shape makes it easy to target the hollows of the cheeks, jawline, temples and sides of the nose.
• Smooth, creamy glide.
• Lightweight and buildable: start sheer, then build.
• Easy to blend with a brush, sponge or fingertips.
• Long lasting once set with powder.
• Cruelty-free, paraben-free and vegan.

Shades

Chocolate, Deep Ebony and Espresso. Choose a shade a few shades deeper than your foundation for natural-looking shadow. Your nearest agent can help you choose.

How to use a contour stick

1. Apply your base: colour corrector first if you use one, then foundation, then concealer.
2. Draw lightly: under the cheekbones from the ear towards the mouth, along the jawline, at the temples and down the sides of the nose.
3. Blend straight away: use our Angled Foundation Brush or Foundation & Blender Brush in small circles until there are no harsh lines.
4. Highlight: add our Under-Eye Concealer & Highlighting Stick to the high points of the face.
5. Set: press a light layer of our Loose Setting Powder over the top, or use our 4-Shade Pressed Powder Palette to deepen the contour with powder.

Tips for natural results

• Less is more: you can always add more.
• Blend upwards under the cheekbones to lift.
• Check in daylight to make sure everything is blended.
• Shake off excess from your brush before blending.

Choosing your contour placement

Every face is different. A simple rule is to follow the natural shadows you see when you suck in your cheeks, and keep the contour above the corner of the mouth so it lifts rather than drags the face down.

Patch test first

Please patch test first: apply a small amount to the inner arm twice daily for 7 to 10 days. This follows the American Academy of Dermatology guidance on testing skin care products. If redness, itching or swelling appears, wash it off and stop using it.
