Maybelline Contour & Highlight

Sculpt and define with the Maybelline Contour & Highlight edit at NexusCare, currently featuring the MAYBELLINE New York Color Drama Lip Contour Palette. This multi-shade palette is designed to let you shade, line and layer your lips for a customized finish, going beyond a single lipstick swipe to give more control over depth and dimension on the mouth.

How to build a contoured look

Contouring isn't limited to the face — it's about creating shape and definition wherever you apply product. The Color Drama Lip Contour Palette works on the lips the same way a contour stick works on cheekbones: it lets you build up tone in specific areas for a more sculpted, intentional finish. Pair your lip look with the rest of your Maybelline Makeup routine — a base of Maybelline Foundation or Maybelline BB Cream sets an even canvas, while Maybelline Powder helps set the finish before you move on to color.

Once your base is in place, a touch of Maybelline Blush & Bronzer on the cheeks brings warmth and dimension that complements a defined lip, so the whole look feels balanced rather than lip-heavy or flat.

Choosing the right lip contour shades

When picking shades from a lip contour palette, think about the tones you already wear most: cooler mauves and berries generally sit well with pink-based lipsticks, while warmer browns and terracottas pair naturally with nude or brick shades. Because a contour palette includes multiple tones in one compact, it's a practical way to experiment with lip shaping without committing to several full-size lipsticks. If you want to extend the look further, browse Maybelline Lip Makeup for complementary lipsticks and glosses, or check Maybelline Lip Balm to prep lips beforehand. As with any cosmetic, patch-test new shades and check the label for full ingredient details, and speak with a pharmacist at NexusCare if you have any questions about a specific formula.
