Contour stick
Draw-on shadow for a fast hand — the beginner's contour.
Layer weight · A film is one continuous layer sitting on the skin. Layer weight is the 0–3 opacity this object adds.
The catalog behind every score on this desk is editorial estimate on a published scale, not laboratory measurement. The scale says what each number is supposed to mean and names an object holding each level, so a figure can be argued with — but no figure here was measured, and none carries a citation. The scale is published in full.

50 is neutral: nothing known for it, nothing known against it. Everything above and below is listed under the score.
- Delivers close to the desk's default coverage — set yours and this line becomes personal rather than assumed.
- Set undertone and depth before treating one contour temperature as universally correct.
Evidence · signed weights (they add up to 34)
- +50 · Neutral start — Every product type starts here. Above 50 the model has more reasons for it; below, more reasons against.
- -7 · Shadow temperature unknown — Contour is trying to imitate shadow, and the desk has no undertone information to help select depth or temperature.
- -5 · Coverage match — Delivers 18 against an assumed appetite of 30.
- -4 · Film cost — Every unit of modeled opacity load costs points.
