Product details

Three Missha Cotton Contour pans in light beige, warm tan and taupe laid out on sand-beige paper with crushed contour powder

Soft powder contour

A cotton-soft powder contour with a velvety texture that blends sheer for a natural-looking shadow.

The contour sister of Missha’s Cotton Blush uses the same fine, fluffy powder. It goes on sheer, blends out without clumps or dust and leaves a soft shadow rather than a harsh stripe. Missha’s Silky Elastic Powder helps control oil so the shape stays in place through the day.

What’s inside

The ingredients doing the work

  • Soft-focus powders

    Fine, round powders behind the cotton-soft, velvety feel and the smooth, even blend.

    No. 1, 2, 4 of 18 on the list

  • Silky binders

    Silicones that give the powder its slip and help it cling to skin through the day.

    No. 7, 8, 9 of 18 on the list

  • Cushioning emollients

    They press the powder into a soft cake that picks up without crumbling or kicking up dust.

    No. 5, 6, 10 of 18 on the list

  • Colour

    Iron oxides and a touch of manganese violet for soft, skin-like shadow shades.

    No. 15, 16, 17, 18 of 18 on the list

How to use

Tap, sweep, blend

  1. 1

    Pick up

    Tap a brush lightly on the pan and flick off the excess.

  2. 2

    Sweep

    Sweep it just under the cheekbones, along the jaw and at the temples.

  3. 3

    Blend

    Blend the edges out softly, then build in thin layers if you want more shape.

Shape that looks like shadow

A soft, sheer contour that blends in easily and keeps its shape all day.

Good to know

  • Comes in three shades: Sugar Toast, a light warm beige; Baked Bagel, a warm tan that Missha likens to a crisply baked bagel; and Smoked Hazel, a cool greyish taupe.
  • Talc-based.
  • Missha makes a matching Cotton Blush in the same soft powder.
