How do I get my contour to stay put? I use UD setting spray and my foundation stays, but not the contour

What brand contour do you use? I Love the Fenty Beauty contour stick. It stays on all day for me.

What I do is I apply cream bronzer first, then I use a setting spray, before I set it with a powder contour. It lasts me all day. Also, try to keep your hands away from your face.

I think you need to do is to replace the brand of your contour product. Are you using the powder or the stick? Usually the cream based ones stays longer but powder is more lightweight. All you need to do is set it properly.

I’ve tried both!!

Skin prep is one of the keys in making your makeup last long. What I do is I apply my cream contour first. I set it after with my powder contour so it won't easily budge.

Use a really good primer. Try the elf power grip primer. It is literally like a glue on your face. It will your makeup together for a long time.

Well that's weird. UD is supposed to be a really good setting spray. Try the benefit contour powder.

I agree with the comments above. Use cream contour first, then spray your setting spray. Then add the powder contour.

I use the Maybelline Fit Me Foundation too. Typically what I do is use the NYX Stay Matte setting spray in between steps. I'll use primer, spray, foundation, spray, contour, spray--etc. I'm on the oily side too and stay matte for several hours. My blush and bronzer also stay on as well.

I also use the nyc sunny bronzer and it stays all day for me, do you usually set with powder? Some good drugstore powders are the Rimmel Stay Matte powder and maybelline matte and poreless powder

I don’t set with powder. This seems to be what I’m missing

Another vote for milani powder contour - works really well and keeps it going for pretty long

I tried Flower Beauty Jet Set Invisible Powder Spray out of curiosity since it claims it's more of a powder in spray form. See how intriguing this is? Tried it not expecting much from it but it's honestly really really good. Haven't bought any other product after I discovered this.

I'm not really a heavy makeup type of girl. So, if you're like me who loves a dewy no makeup makeup look, go with One/Size Preserve the Serve Luminous Setting Spray. I love that it hydrates my skin all while locking in my make up.

Have you tried applying a light cream bronzer before your contour to give it something to cling to?

Make sure that you're actually using finishing spray to top off all of your makeup, instead of just setting spray. The former is what professionals use to make it last, ahile the latyer is only applied to help blend the layers.

Any recommendations on finishing spray? I didn’t realize there was a difference

Do you use primer before putting on makeup? I know it may seem like it's a useless product, but I can guarantee that it does make a difference. I've tested it before and I know using primer makes it last longer.

Yes! What primer do you use?

What kind of contour do you use? Using powder contours are unreliable on their own. You need to use creams as a sort of base for the powder contour.

Elf (the cream one) and NYX has this stick

Which contour are you using? I've tried just about everything and I think the best would be the Charlotte Tilbury Contour Wand. A little goes a long way and it lasts all day. It's also very blendable and seamless.

I keep thinking I need to just buy this. I read so many reviews that this wasn’t worth it with so little product

I use elf putty bronzer as my contour. I set it with a translucent powder. It seems to last all day.

I really like elf! Plus they are cruelty free. I have a cream contour kit from them, but I think it’s the same as the putty ones

Setting powder by Laura Mercier ✨ my favorite!

I use the translucent one since I don’t want to add more color to what I applied before.
“Honey” gives you a warmer finish while “Medium Deep” makes you look tanned ✨ obviously, everything depends on your skin shade!
