Product details

An Espoir Be Glow Stick Shading with its cap standing beside the open taupe-grey stick on a cream table, between champagne silk and a small swatch

Glow contour stick

A creamy contour stick with foundation-like texture that blends into a natural, softly glowing shadow.

Espoir built its Be Glow Stick Shading on a mix of low-viscosity oils and spherical powder, so it glides on like a stick foundation and melts into a natural shade rather than a muddy stripe. The cool, grey-toned colour mimics a real shadow, and the glowy finish matches the rest of Espoir’s Be Glow line. Meadowfoam seed oil and vitamin E keep the texture comfortable on skin.

What’s inside

The ingredients doing the work

  • Low-viscosity oils

    Light, fluid emollients lead the list, giving the stick its foundation-like slip and easy blend.

    No. 1, 5, 6 of 33 on the list

  • Spherical powder

    Fine silica softens and blurs the edges, while a touch of mineral pearl adds the gentle glow.

    No. 2, 10 of 33 on the list

  • Shadow pigments

    Iron oxides balanced into a cool grey tone that reads as natural shadow.

    No. 9, 15, 16, 20 of 33 on the list

  • Skin comfort

    Meadowfoam seed oil, vitamin E and hyaluronic acid keep the cream texture comfortable.
