This is part of the Fenty Beauty “Match Stix” line: a contour stick with a cream-to-powder, long-wear matte finish in a convenient two-ended stick format.
Shade name: Mocha — described on the product page as “contour for light–medium skin tones, cool undertone.”
Size: 0.25 oz / 7.10 g (standard for this stick format) as per listing.
Key claims: “Buildable, easy to blend,” “light-as-air matte,” “no creasing or caking.”
Sculpting & definition: Mocha gives you the ability to carve out shadows under cheekbones, along the jawline, on the sides of the nose, etc. — helping to create structure in your face rather than just adding warmth.
Cool undertone: Because the shade is described as having a cool undertone, it’s suited for skin tones where you want contour without additional warmth or bronze—ideal for creating natural-looking depth rather than a bronzed finish.
Pregame format: Stick format makes it travel-friendly, easy to apply precisely (which fits well with your brand workflow and detailed beauty imagery).
Cream-to-powder texture: Glides on like a cream, settles to a powder finish—this helps with wear time and control while keeping blendability.
Inclusive range: Mocha is one option in a shade-range designed to cater to a variety of skin tones, aligning with Fenty’s inclusive ethos.
Given your strong involvement in beauty-branding and high-quality visuals, here’s a refined usage method:
Prep your base: After applying foundation/concealer and priming skin, make sure your surface is smooth and even.
Apply the stick: Use Mocha to draw contour lines in desired areas:
Under your cheekbones (hollow)
Jawline and under the chin if you want definition
Sides of the nose if you do nose contour
Temples/hairline for framing
Blend immediately: Because the formula sets to powder, immediately blend using a damp sponge, a dense brush, or your fingers to ensure seamless transition.
According to a user in Reddit:
“I’ve heard some people say it’s difficult to blend, but I feel like it is very workable. I’ve gotten the best results when applying after foundation and with a dampened beauty blender (vs brush or fingers).”
Layer if needed: If you require stronger definition (for photographs/branding visuals), you can build up one more layer, blending edges for a polished look.
Set the look: In certain lighting (especially your professional imagery/brand shoots), you may opt to lightly set the contoured areas with a translucent or matching powder to lock it in and reduce shine.
Check under lighting: Given you do product/face imagery, always check under your usual lighting (studio lights, daylight, phone flash) to ensure the contour looks natural and not too heavy or ashy.
