A whisper-cool taupe for fair complexions. Builds a believable shadow, never an orange stripe.
Neutral beige-depth for light skin. The everyday shade for subtle cheekbone and jaw definition.
Warm bronze calibrated for olive and medium tones — definition that doubles as a sun-kissed finish.
Balanced neutral-brown for tan skin. High pigment payoff that still sheers out with one tap.
A cool espresso depth engineered to read as true shadow on deep skin — never ashy, never grey.
Our richest pigment load. One swipe sculpts; one tap melts it to a velvet second-skin finish.
Illustrative simulation of the sculpting effect on the same image. Drag the handle to compare.
Contouring isn't about looking painted — it's about restoring the shadows that flat lighting erases. The cream formula sits in the skin, not on it, so definition reads as bone structure.
Cheekbones, jawline and temples gain depth in under a minute.
Sets to a true velvet matte — no shimmer, no tell-tale stripe.
Transfer-resistant wear for up to 16 hours, through heat and humidity.
Glide the stick directly under cheekbones, along the jawline, and at the temples. Two short strokes per zone is enough — the pigment is concentrated.
Tap with fingertips or a dense brush in small pressing motions. The cream warms and dissolves into skin, leaving shadow with no edges.
It self-sets to velvet-matte in about sixty seconds. Optional: a whisper of translucent powder locks it for the longest days.
ContourSticks began with a frustration: every contour product was either a warm bronzer masquerading as a sculpting shade, or a grey paint that only worked on one skin tone.
So we built one stick, done properly — a cream formula with true shadow pigments in six calibrated depths, blended with hyaluronic acid and vitamin E so it moves like skincare and sets like silk.
No forty-pan palettes. No artistry degree required. One swipe, one blend, real bone structure.
— The ContourSticks Atelier
Hyaluronic acid and vitamin E in a non-comedogenic cream base. Dermatologist-tested and made to blend on bare skin or over a full base.
Six shades calibrated by undertone, not just depth. Cool and neutral reads that imitate real shadow across fair to rich-deep skin.
Cruelty-free, never tested on animals, and produced in small batches. If your first shade isn't perfect, we exchange it free.






Pick a shade one to two tones deeper than your foundation with an undertone that mimics a natural shadow. Cool-neutral shades suit fair to light skin; warm bronze suits olive and medium tones; deep neutral shades are formulated to read as shadow, not ash, on deep skin.

Yes. The cream formula is designed to melt into un-powdered skin, so it works for a no-makeup sculpted look as well as over a full base.
The formula sets to a velvet-matte, transfer-resistant finish designed for up to 16 hours of wear. Setting with a light dusting of powder extends wear further in hot or humid conditions.
Contour shades are cool or neutral-toned and imitate natural shadow to sculpt bone structure. Bronzers are warm-toned and add sun-kissed warmth. Our shades are calibrated as true contour tones, not warm bronzers.
Six calibrated shades. One weightless stick. Free shade-exchange on your first order.
