Always use a setting spray after your BB cream and let it air dry.
Then, use a damp, squeezed sponge to apply the contour stick with light strokes.
Pat it in gently.
Finally, set it with the spray again.
This method really extends the wear time.

The amount... At first, it seemed like a lot,
but if you're contouring your whole face, you'll go through it quickly.

I've been using this since November 2024.
The staying power is great and it applies smoothly.
After my BB cream, I use it all over my face contours and around the sides of my nose.
I use the light shade on my T-zone, and dab it on blemishes like a concealer.
It's just fantastic!

I don't use the contouring part much because it's difficult to blend.

This is my absolute must-have when doing my makeup! I have a peanut-shaped face with sunken cheeks under my cheekbones. When I apply the highlight part under my cheekbones to cover the shadowy areas, it fills out my cheeks and makes my face look smoother. I'm truly so satisfied with this product and love it so much! I highly recommend it to anyone who's concerned about their face shape like me.

This might not be a proper tip, but since the formula is quite thick, mixing it with lip product and applying under the eyes improves longevity... the light part, I mean. I use it very occasionally! Mixing the shimmery part with lip product gives a cute, aegyo-like look, but if you tend to touch your eyes often, it's probably best to avoid doing this!

If you want shimmer, make sure to check carefully before buying. I should have bought one with shimmer. Still, I'm satisfied because it gives a nice volumizing effect, but if you have dry skin, it might look a bit patchy when applied! For me, it tends to look patchy when I apply it on my nose.

It's good, but not quite 5-star worthy! Still, it's definitely usable. I've been using it for a little over 3 weeks now. To be honest, I couldn't tell the difference from the photos, so I just bought it and tried it out. It's not bad, so I'm still using it! Recently, I've gained some weight, so it's great for when I need to do some intense contouring. It's really useful when going out at night, but in bright light, the contouring is quite noticeable... Remember, blending is key!

It can clump a bit or move around, sometimes leaving a small amount on the lid

It's super convenient to be able to use concealer and shading in one go

When used on the aegyo sal (under-eye puffiness), it creates a naturally beautiful look.

The large surface area makes precise application challenging. The yellowish undertone isn't suitable for cool complexions. It tends to lift the base makeup, so it's not recommended for beginners.

Unlike other powder-type contours, this doesn't feel heavy even when applied generously. Being a matte highlighter, it's also great for concealing dark circles.

Pro tip 1: Blend slightly with your fingers, then use a beauty sponge for a more natural gradient effect.

Pro tip 2: The highlighter's subtle shimmer is gorgeous, and the contour's strong brown tone works great as an eyeshadow too.

I suddenly became interested in contouring... As a stage 4 breast cancer patient undergoing targeted therapy, I rarely wore makeup. But with several weddings coming up, I found myself drawn to simple contouring techniques as I started doing my makeup again.

I highly recommend this for anyone looking to use both highlighter and contour in one easy step!

Drawback 1: The contour has a slight yellow undertone. While it works for me since I have a lot of redness, those who dislike yellow-toned contours might find it hit or miss.

Advantage 1: Convenient 2-in-1 product. With cream highlighter and cream contour on each side, it's super easy to use.

Advantage 2: Smooth application. It glides on with a hydrating feel.

Advantage 3: Colors without redness. The highlighter has a subtle, lovely shimmer, and the contour shade doesn't have an overly red undertone.

Advantage 4: Perfect size for precise contouring. Compared to thicker stick products I've used before, the angled tip allows for detailed contouring.

Advantage 5: Affordable. Despite being a 2-in-1 product, it's cheaper than many alternatives.

While shade #1 had a slight shimmer for highlighting, this one doesn't, which is a bit disappointing. Nevertheless, I'm still enjoying using it.

I've been using this since it first came out. Back then, I used shade #1 because I had fair skin. Now, with more outdoor activities, I've switched to shade #2, and it's the perfect match for my complexion.

The highlighter shade is too dark for my complexion. It actually makes me look darker! But I still use it because it defines my features nicely.

I always used shade #1 Original, but I decided to try #2 Intense this time. It's so convenient for dry skin since it has highlighter and contour all in one stick. If you apply it and immediately blend with a damp sponge, it blends seamlessly without any patchiness!

When contouring your nose or working on narrow areas, use the tip of the applicator.

The tip is quite wide, so if you're not careful, you might end up contouring your entire nose...

The application, longevity, and adherence are all quite nice. I bought it for cosplay because of its excellent color payoff, and I'm pleased with it.

If you just swipe and go, you'll end up with theatrical makeup
Make sure to blend gently with a brush, fingers, or puff for a natural look

Comparison between shade 1 and 2
- Highlighter: Shade 1 has a brighter white tone, Shade 2 is slightly ivory
- Contour: Shade 1 is a reddish brown, Shade 2 is a deeper brown

No particular downsides for me
There are products with better color payoff but considering the ingredients, I'm satisfied

Why was it discontinued?
I need to repurchase after finishing it...

1. Ingredients
Purchased for its great ingredients

2. Color payoff
The color you see is the color you get

3. Application
Glides on smoothly

4. Convenience
One stick for both highlighting and contouring
Easy to apply highlighter on aegyo-sal with a cotton swab when on-the-go

5. Pearl finish
When applied and blended well, the pearl finish looks natural

6. Product amount
Lasts longer than expected
Used daily for over a year

1. Highlight color payoff
The highlight contains a lot of glitter-like shimmer, which looked a bit unnatural. There's also a slight white cast noticeable.

2. Texture
The stick formula applies heavily, feeling a bit suffocating. For oily skin, it definitely requires setting with powder.

Skin type: 21-22 shade / Warm undertone

1. Color payoff
As known, it's not without intensity, but you won't find it uncomfortable to use when blended with a puff or cushion. In fact, I found it more effective for contouring than powder. Especially for contouring, it blends naturally with your complexion.

2. Longevity
The staying power is on par with other products, lasting quite long. This can be considered one of the stick's advantages.

It works well when applied around the sides of the nose.

It feels a bit heavy, which is slightly uncomfortable. I'm a bit worried about the ink from the stick possibly coming out.

It seems to suit my complexion well. I think I'll be able to use it comfortably and smoothly.
