NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP Wonder Stick cream contour & highlight stick — Medium dual-ended, blendable

NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP Wonder Stick in Medium is a dual-ended, creamy contour and highlight stick that sculpts and brightens for buildable, blendable definition.

Designed for quick, precise face shaping, the Wonder Stick combines a deeper shade for contouring and a lighter shade for highlighting in one portable tube. This vegan, cruelty-free formula offers a smooth, pigmented texture that blends easily with fingers, brushes, or sponges. The Medium duo suits a wide range of skin tones and is part of NYX's expanded selection of eight highly pigmented shade pairings created to layer and customize your finish.

How do I use the Wonder Stick to contour and highlight?

Start by applying the darker end along natural shadow zones like the hollows of the cheeks, jawline, and sides of the nose. Then apply the lighter end to high points such as the cheekbones, brow bone, bridge of the nose and cupid's bow. Blend both shades seamlessly for a natural, sculpted look.

• Swipe deeper shade under cheekbones, along hairline, and jaw to define.
• Place lighter shade on cheek apples, brow bone and nose bridge to lift.
• Blend with a sponge, brush, or fingertips until no harsh lines remain.
• Build coverage in thin layers for a tailored finish.

What tools and techniques work best with this cream contour stick?

The Wonder Stick performs well with several tools depending on the finish you want: fingertips for a skinlike melt-in effect, a dense buffing brush for medium coverage, or a damp sponge for an airbrushed look. Always blend outward and tap to diffuse edges for a professional result.

• Fingers: quick, warm application and easy melting into skin.
• Dense brush: buff the product for even medium coverage.
• Damp sponge: press and blend for a softer, skin-like finish.
• Use small brush for precision on nose and cupid's bow.

Will the formula work with foundation and other face products?

Yes — the Wonder Stick layers smoothly over liquid or cream foundation and pairs well with concealer, powders, or setting spray. It’s designed to integrate with the rest of your routine so you can add contour and highlight without disrupting your base.

• Apply after foundation for clean placement of contour and highlight.
• Set with translucent powder for extra longevity in oily areas.
• Combine with Wonderstick Blush or Wonder Pencil for color balance and precision.
• Works under or over cream products depending on desired intensity.

How long does the Wonder Stick wear and how to maintain it?

The creamy, pigmented formula is made to last through daily wear when paired with your preferred setting method. For extended longevity on oily skin, set key zones with a light dusting of setting powder or a setting spray to lock the product into place.

• Set T-zone and cheek contour with translucent powder for longer wear.
• Refresh highlight with a touch of cream or powder highlighter as needed.
• Store capped in a cool, dry place to maintain texture and performance.
• Reapply in thin layers to avoid cakiness and retain blendability.
