The Best Contour Sticks

My top picks and why I love them

If I don’t contour, I feel naked. Even if I do a subtle contour on just my cheekbones, it’s enough to make me feel better about my makeup. I’m grateful to be able to use many different brands because of my career so I decided to put together a list of the best contour sticks so that you don’t need to waste your money trying to find the right one!

MILK MAKEUP

I love the sunkissed look the MILK multi-use cream bronzing stick gives but I also love how you can easily contour with it. Although this stick is small, it’s incredibly powerful with amazing pigment that blends easily and lasts for so long!

NUDESTIX

The Nudestix nudies matte collection has some of the best variety of colors for blush and bronzers. I particularly like the bronzers because they glide on with a slightly transparent finish and are buildable. Another great thing is that it has a built-in brush on one end of the stick so you can blend on the go!

FENTY BEAUTY

Who doesn’t love Fenty? These matchstix are perfect for contouring! The pigment is immediate with no need to build up, it applies easily with a creamy texture and blends very well. The shade range is the best around so you’ll be sure to find your match!

CHARLOTTE TILBURY

Although the Charlotte Tilbury contour wand may not exactly be a stick, it might as well be with how easy it is to use. It allows for a creamy, fluid texture that isn’t messy when it comes to application. The sponge tip makes it easy to apply and blending is so effortless with either fingers or a brush.
