Contour Sticks

If you’re all about beauty, you're going to love contour makeup. It’s a type of face makeup that adds definition and structure to your features. A favorite of makeup artists, contouring creates an impeccably defined face with the most dramatic look possible. Macy's carries all kinds of contouring makeup, but today, we’re discussing contouring sticks. These easy-to-use face sticks are appropriate for beginners while delivering pro-level results. Let’s get started. 

Pick the Perfect Contour Stick
Are you wondering how to find the best contour sticks? There are a few things you need to look for. First, contour makeup needs serious staying power. You’ll want definition that lasts, not fades away, or (gasp!) slides over to someplace unintended. Second, make sure the formula glides on smoothly. The top-rated contour sticks have a silky feel and won’t tug across your skin. Finally, check that your contour stick is the correct color for your skin tone. Even the best cream contour will be useless if it doesn’t match.

How to Contour 
To get a good contour, begin with a clean face. Then, apply primer and foundation. Draw a line with your contour stick right underneath your jawbone, blending inward and down the neck. To define your nose, use small lines of contour cream stick on both sides of the bridge, then buff out the lines in the direction of your cheeks. You can use draw-on cream contours to accentuate your cheekbones, too. Suck in your cheeks, then use a contour stick in the hollows. Gently blend upwards towards the ears to create natural-looking shadows. After you’ve contoured to your liking, apply blush and bronzer before finishing your look with a dusting of face powder or a mist of setting spray.
