Contour 

Lancôme offers two expertly crafted multi-use products for flawless contouring at all skill levels:

• Teint Idole Shape Sticks: These blurring, multi-use complexion sticks can be used as foundation, concealer, bronzer, and contour. Their creamy, ultra-blendable texture makes swiping on precise shadows effortless.
• Teint Idole Ultra Wear All-Over Concealer: If you prefer a liquid contour, this buildable, multi-use liquid concealer as contour is perfect. It provides a hydrating, lightweight natural-matte finish that melts into the skin for natural definition.

Both stick and liquid contour deliver a beautiful, long-wearing sculpt, so your choice depends on your application preference and desired finish:

• Contour Stick (Teint Idole Shape Stick): Ideal for beginners and on-the-go touch-ups. The stick format and unique19° slanted bullet allows for exact, targeted placement. The hydrating formula transforms from a cream to a soft matte powder finish doesn't crease, cake, or settle into fine lines & wrinkles, in a consumer test.
• Liquid Contour (Teint Idole All-Over Concealer): Perfect for a dewy, second-skin finish. Liquid formulas are highly stretchable and blend beautifully with damp fingers or a makeup sponge, making them ideal for a subtle, everyday contour without any caking or creasing.

The secret to a realistic contour is selecting the right depth and undertone for your skin:

• Depth: Choose a Teint Idole Shape Stick or All-Over Concealer shade that is two to three shades deeper than your natural skin tone (or your base foundation).
• Undertone: Shadows naturally look cool on the skin. Look for shades with neutral (N) or cool (C) undertones to create a true sculpting effect. If you select a shade with a warm (W) undertone, it will act more as a bronzer vs. contour, bringing warmth and a sun-kissed glow rather than a defined shadow.

Teint Idole Shape Stick is designed for quick, beginner-friendly applications, from foundation to concealer and contour. To contour using Shape Sticks, follow our step-by-step guide on How to Contour using Shape Sticks, or follow these simplified steps:

1. Cheekbones: Swipe the stick slightly above your cheekbones. Blend upward and outward toward your temples using a dense brush. Pro-Tip: Don’t blend cheek contour down, as this can drag facial features downwards.
2. Jawline & Chin: Apply along the edge of your jawline to create a sharper profile, blending the product down toward your neck and under the chin for a seamless transition. In fact, Teint Idole Shape Stick users said they saw a visibly slimmer jawline when used as a contour, in a consumer test.
3. Forehead: Sweep the stick just above the temples and along the hairline to add dimension.
4. Nose: Use the sharp part of the 19° slanted bullet to draw two slim lines down the sides of the bridge of your nose and blend thoroughly.

Yes, the beauty of Lancôme’s Teint Idole multi-use complexion products is that they are designed to work in harmony. You can use a Shape Stick or All-Over Concealer that is two shades deeper than your skin tone to contour, and pair it with a shade of the same collection that is one to two shades lighter than your skin to highlight.
