How To Use

For a soft sculpted look choose the shade that would complement your skin tone.

Apply anywhere you want to contour and add contrast such as along the cheekbone, hairline or jaw line.

Pro Tips

FOR HIGH CONTRAST LOOKS (HIGH-GLAM)
Swipe a small amount of the Contrast Stick in the hollows of the cheeks, temples, sides and tip of the nose, beneath the chin and jaw, or anywhere you want to create shadows on the face. For best results, apply, blend, and diffuse like a pro with the KEVYN AUCOIN Duet Contour Brush. Brush sold separately.

FOR LOW CONTRAST LOOKS
Apply gently with your fingers on the areas that you want to recede, like your cheekbones, nose and under your chin area.
