FENTY BEAUTY MATCH STIX CONTOUR SKINSTICK - ESPRESSO

• This is a contour stick from Fenty Beauty (by Rihanna), formulated as a cream-to-powder matte contour skin-stick built for purpose and sculpting in stick format. 

• Shade name: Espresso — one of the deeper contour shades in the lineup. 

• Fill weight: 0.25 oz / 7.10 g (standard stick size) as listed. 

• Formula claims: “longwear, light-as-air matte formula … made to layer, buildable cream-to-powder, weightless and super easy to blend, but also stays put with no creasing or caking.” 

 Key Benefits

• Sculpt & define: Ideal for carving out cheekbones, jawline, sides of nose, temples — gives you structure rather than just warmth.

• Deep shade for deeper skin tones: “Espresso” provides a rich depth suitable for deeper complexions, creating natural-looking shadow rather than ashy lines. 

• Stick format convenience: Travel friendly, easy to apply where you want, minimal mess compared to powders.

• Cream-to-powder texture: Glides like a cream, sets like a powder — helps with staying power while being blendable.

• Inclusive shade design: As the brand emphasises, this shade is part of a line “obsessively fine-tuned and tested” for a wide spectrum of skin tones. 

 How to Use

Here’s a recommended method, considering your beauty brand workflow and visual/photographic usage:

1. Prep skin: Moisturise, prime, apply your base (foundation/concealer) so skin tone is even and smooth.

2. Apply contour stick: Using the stick, draw lines in the areas you want to define:

   • Under cheekbones (hollows)

   • Along the jawline

   • Sides of the nose (if desired)

   • Temples/hairline

   • Under the chin if you want extra definition

3. Blend quickly: Because the formula sets to powder-finish, blend right after application using a sponge, dense brush, or fingers. Start light and layer if needed.

4. Set or leave as is: If your skin is oilier, you might lightly set the contour area with a matching translucent or tonal powder to lock it. For photography (which you often do in your brand work), this helps ensure the contour holds under lights.

5. Adjust intensity: The formula is buildable — if you want a softer daytime look, blend more thoroughly; for a stronger, camera-ready sculpt, keep the line sharper and blend just edges.
