FAQs
How do I choose the right contour shade?
For contouring, select a shade that is 1-2 shades darker than your natural skin tone and has a cool or neutral undertone to mimic natural shadows. Avoid shades that are too warm or orange.
Can this be used as a foundation or concealer?
While it's designed primarily for contouring, highlighting, or creating a base, its medium buildable coverage means it can be used for spot concealing or as a light foundation in a pinch, especially if the shade matches your skin tone well. However, it is optimized for sculpting and defining.
What is the benefit of Vitamin E in this product?
Vitamin E is an antioxidant known for its skin-nourishing properties. It helps moisturize the skin and can contribute to a radiant, healthy-looking finish, preventing the makeup from looking dry or flat.
Is this product suitable for sensitive skin?
Info needed: While the product description doesn't explicitly state 'non-comedogenic' or 'dermatologist-tested for sensitive skin,' its Vitamin E enrichment is generally beneficial. If you have sensitive skin, it's always recommended to perform a patch test before full facial application.
What's the best way to blend this cream stick?
For a seamless blend, use a damp beauty sponge, a dense buffing brush, or your fingertips. Work in small sections and use gentle tapping or patting motions to meld the product into your skin without lifting your base makeup.
How long does the product last once opened?
For optimal performance and to maintain its quality, the SOSU Cosmetics Contour On The Go Cream Stick is best used within 12 months of opening. This is indicated by the '12M' symbol on the product packaging.
Can I use this product on top of powder foundation?
It is generally recommended to apply cream products before powder products. Applying a cream stick over a powder foundation can sometimes lead to a patchy or cakey finish. For best results, apply over liquid or cream foundation, then set with powder.
Troubleshooting
Product appears patchy or streaky after blending.
Ensure your skin is adequately prepped and moisturized. Blend quickly after application, as cream products can set. Use a damp sponge or a soft, dense brush with gentle tapping motions rather than swiping.
Product is hard to blend or feels too thick.
Try warming the stick slightly on the back of your hand before applying to your face to soften the formula. Apply in thinner layers and build up as needed.
My contour looks too harsh or unnatural.
Apply less product initially. Focus on blending the edges thoroughly until there are no visible lines. Consider using a lighter hand and a larger, fluffier brush for a softer diffusion.
The product wears off quickly or transfers.
After blending, set your contour with a translucent setting powder or a powder contour product in a similar shade. This helps lock the cream product in place for extended wear, especially for oily skin types.
The shade doesn't look right on my skin.
Ensure you've selected a shade that is 1-2 shades darker than your natural skin tone for contouring. If it's too warm or cool, try blending it out more thoroughly or adjusting with a setting powder. Info needed: Consult a shade matching guide or professional for personalized recommendations.

Apply Directly: For contouring, swipe the stick directly onto the desired areas (e.g., hollows of cheeks, jawline, sides of nose).
Blend Immediately: Using a damp beauty sponge, a dense blending brush, or your fingertips, gently pat and blend the product into your skin until seamless. Work in small sections for best results.
Build Coverage: For more intensity, reapply a small amount and blend again.
Compatibility
