FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the Smooth Blur Contour Stick?
The primary benefit is its ability to provide a natural, cool-toned contour that avoids oxidizing to an orange shade, offering a seamless, dewy finish.
Can I use this contour stick on bare skin?
Yes, it is designed to glide onto bare skin or over pre-applied products seamlessly.
What skin types is this product best suited for?
It is generally suitable for most skin types, particularly normal to dry skin, due to its hydrating properties and dewy finish. Those with very oily skin may prefer to set it.
How much product should I use?
Start with a small amount and build up coverage as needed. The blendable nature allows for controlled application to achieve the desired sculpting effect.
What does 'cool tones' mean for contouring?
Cool tones mimic natural shadows on the skin, creating depth and definition without looking warm or bronzed. This is ideal for subtle sculpting and defining facial features.
Does the formula contain any beneficial ingredients?
Yes, the formula is enriched with Vitamin E, which provides lightweight hydration and contributes to a comfortable, smooth wear.
How do I clean the contour stick itself?
Gently wipe the surface with a clean, dry tissue if it becomes soiled. Avoid using liquids or wet wipes directly on the product to maintain its integrity.
Troubleshooting
Product oxidizes to an orange tone
Ensure you are using the 'cool tones' as intended. Apply sparingly and blend thoroughly. If the issue persists, this shade may not be suitable for your undertone.
Product is difficult to blend
Apply to a well-moisturized base. Try blending with a damp makeup sponge or a dense brush for better diffusion. Allow it a moment to warm on the skin before blending.
Formula feels sticky
Ensure you are not applying too much product. Blend out any excess. The formula should set to a dewy finish, not remain sticky. Consider setting with a very light dusting of translucent powder if needed.
Product settles into fine lines
Apply a thinner layer and ensure the skin is properly prepped. Gently blend, focusing on diffusing the edges. The product is designed to be crease-proof, so excessive application can negate this effect.
