SoftSculpt® Shaping Stick

MAKEUP BY MARIO SoftSculpt® Shaping Stick is a dual-ended cream contour — colour on one end, a removable angled buffing brush on the other. It glides on, builds where you want depth, and dries down to a natural matte so the definition reads true to skin rather than drawn on.

Format	Dual-ended cream stick with brush
Finish	Dries down to a natural matte
Coverage	Buildable
Shade approach	Designed to flatter any undertone — never orange or muddy

What it actually does

• Gives definition that looks like shadow, not makeup. The stick swipes on seamlessly and sets to a natural matte, which is what keeps contour from looking like a stripe.
• Builds gradually. Because it's buildable, you can place a whisper of depth or go deeper on the same pass without starting over.
• Condenses a technique into one product. The brand's framing is that this packs Mario's own contouring method into a single stick for an effortlessly sculpted result.
• Shades built to avoid the usual contour problems. Per the brand, they complement complexions across undertones and never turn orange or muddy on the skin.
• Blends with its own brush. The angled buffing head is attached and removable, and five nubs inside it centralise product pick-up for a more even application.
• Award-recognised. MAKEUP BY MARIO states this product is an Allure Best of Beauty award winner.
• Cruelty-free. As stated by the brand.

How to use

1. Smile softly and find the high point of the cheekbone. Apply the stick along that bone.
2. Keep away from the smile line. Stopping short of it is what stops the contour dragging the face down.
3. Tap and blend upward. Use the built-in brush, or the brand's F1 Brush (sold separately), tapping rather than dragging to keep the placement lifted.
4. Use what's left on the brush. Dab the residue into the temples and along the jawline and blend out to warm and sculpt the perimeter of the face.
5. Remove and wash the brush. It detaches, which makes cleaning a cream-product brush straightforward.

Questions

Which shade should I choose?

The range is designed to work across undertones without pulling orange or muddy, so you're mainly matching depth — a step or two deeper than your base. Send us your foundation shade on WhatsApp and we'll point you to the closest option.

Do I need to buy a separate brush?

No. The angled buffing brush is part of the stick. The brand also suggests its F1 Brush as an alternative, but that's an optional separate purchase.

Can I use it to bronze as well as contour?

The brand's own instruction covers exactly that: once you've placed it on the cheekbones, work the leftover product into the temple area and the jawline to warm and sculpt those zones.

How long does delivery take?

Delivery takes 3 to 21 working days, depending on availability. Shades we already hold ship at the quicker end; those we source for you take longer. Weekends and official holidays are not working days.

Can I return it if the shade is wrong?
