Form: This contour stick comes in a slim, pencil-like or cylindrical form. It's often a twist-up or retractable stick, making it easy to apply and control.

Texture: Contour sticks have a creamy texture. This texture allows for smooth application and blending on the skin.

Application: To use a contour stick, you apply it to the areas of your face where you want to create shadows or define features. Common areas include the hollows of the cheeks, along the jawline, on the sides of the nose, and along the hairline.
-
Blending: After applying the contour stick, it's essential to blend the product into the skin to create a seamless and natural look. This can be done using a makeup brush, makeup sponge, or your fingertips.
-
Highlighting: Contouring is often paired with highlighting, where a lighter shade of makeup (like a concealer or highlighter) is applied to areas you want to emphasis, such as the tops of the cheekbones, the bridge of the nose, and the cupid's bow of the lips.
