The 3 Best Contour Sticks in 2025
I am a beauty enthusiast with a slight obsession with face masks. Beauty for me is a form of self-care, to remind us to take the time to look after ourselves throughout our busy day. Most days I keep my makeup minimal, try to tame my mane of curls and throw in a cheeky bold lip at night. I am a self-confessed SPF pusher (sorry friends!) and my go-to is always Ultra Violette.
Whether you want to accentuate your cheekbones or slim down your nose, contouring is the easiest way to sculpt your face shape.
Contour sticks are foolproof, being easy to both apply and blend for a natural and subtle finish.
Check out the best contour sticks our experts use and recommend.

"I love this product, initially for the price I didn't think it would be worth the price, however I was totally wrong!
