If you’ve been on TikTok recently, you’ll know that contouring is back in a big way. But while some people still stand by the classic cream contour palettes, for beginners–or people who love a quick, easy look–contour sticks are the way to go. In my day, contour sticks were good for adding a big orange streak across your face. But these days, you can find incredible products that blend like a dream, look natural, and can convince everyone you know that you have the chiseled jawline of an A-list celeb.
