Does the duo have a matte or shimmery finish?

The formula sets with a soft, powdery matte finish, while the highlighting end adds fine shimmer. The two ends do not have a uniformly matte finish.

Where should I apply the contour end?

Where can I place the highlighting end of #2 Intense?

Place it beneath the center of the eyes and beneath the center of the lips.

What can I use to blend the cream?

PRODUCT DETAILS

A little definition, your way. This dual-ended cream stick brings contour and highlight together in one streamlined format. #2 Intense pairs a deep cocoa-brown contour with a bright, fine-shimmer highlighter, giving you two distinct tones for shaping the look of your makeup.

The cream formula spreads smoothly before setting with a soft, powdery matte finish. The highlighting end keeps its fine shimmer, so the duo isn't uniformly matte. Its buildable color moves from natural-looking to more defined, while the softly fixing formula is designed to avoid a crumbly appearance.

The 24-degree diagonal tip follows curved facial areas for easier direct application. Paired with the blendable formula, it makes this an approachable choice when you're learning cream contour or simply want a practical two-in-one format. The contrast between the cocoa shading color and bright highlight lets you add depth and light without juggling separate products.
