Simone Gannon: The cream of the contours for sculpted skin

"Contour sticks, for me, are the unsung heroes of every makeup look. When used correctly, they lift, sculpt, bronze and define."

Simone Gannon's cream of the contours

Arguably one of the most versatile products in my makeup stash, cream contour sticks have entirely changed my approach to makeup over the last few years (and my face, in the process).

A combination of age, time constraints and a general lack of patience for painstakingly painting my face as I used to have led to an impressive collection of 11 cream contour products that ‘snatch’ in record time. Yes, I counted them. Yes, eleven may, in fact, be too many.
