The 10 Best Contour Sticks 2023

Should you use a contour stick or powder?

QQ: How dewy do you want to look? Contour powders will often leave your skin looking matte and airbrushed (unless, of course, there’s shimmer in it), while matte formulas will leave your skin with a more hydrated look. It really comes down to preference.

Should you blend with a brush?

Nope! You can totally blend in your contour with your fingers, however some prefer to use a dense blending brush or a damp sponge.

What step in your makeup routine should you contour?

Typically, you’d want to apply your contour after foundation and before blush, bronzer, and highlighter. Think of it as framing the structure of your face. Once that’s locked in, you’ll have the perfect framework to finish the rest of your look.
