Best products for contouring?
My skin is quite fair and I often have a hard time contouring properly. I would be very grateful if anyone cares to share some of their favourite/tried-and-tested products for contouring (brushes/tools included).  Jul 27 14 09:49 pm Link Marc Jacobs makes a great bronzer that is now my go to for contouring Jul 29 14 06:45 pm Link Contouring should be done with a brown that has a grey undertone because contouring is meant to cast shadows. Bronzer just warms up the complexion. Smashbox has recently come out with a contour kit that has an excellent contour shade and also comes with a bronzer and highlighting powder. Jul 31 14 09:25 am Link A friend of mine has fair skin as well as I always use MAC Taupe on her which is a blush but really I use for contour. You can use a bronzer if you want there are no rules in makeup but yes people do generally want something that will cast shadows. I sometimes use Too Face Chocolate Soleil though based on what looks I am trying to create. As far as brushes I would try Real Techniques contour brush its pretty good at a nice price point. Aug 02 14 03:08 pm Link It depends on how your skin is as well. It can be done both beautifully with creme product and with powders. There is not ONE right way to do it. Which types of products do you prefer and are you a makeup minimalist or do you not mind more product? Aug 03 14 12:26 pm Link Anastasia contour kit! Aug 03 14 12:46 pm Link Aug 05 14 11:52 am Link Benefit Hula Bronzer! Never pick a bronzer with shimmer as it will reduce any look of benefiting the contour. Aug 05 14 05:01 pm Link Stay away from Bronzers to contour; this is frequently mistake number one. Most bronzers will warm up the skin, like someone else has already stated. MAC makes some pretty good ones I'm also a big fan of the new Contour Kit by Anastasia. Aug 07 14 08:50 am Link Kevin Aucoin The Sculpting Powder (Medium) is the only contour product I've ever tried that has the grayish undertone, so it's perfect for contouring  Aug 12 14 01:55 pm Link camilleboire wrote: Camilleboire with porcelain or ivory complexion such as yours I typically use a foundation hue/chroma a shade or touch richer than your natural base...

Thank you! Bronzer is for bronzing, contour should be grey/taupe/cool toned depending on the individuals skin tone. Aug 26 14 07:25 pm Link Anastasia Beverly Hills contour colours are amazing. Plenty of cool shades for all skin colours, even the darkest of dark. And some lovely highlight shades too including a gorgeous peach and soft yellow. Aug 29 14 06:56 am Link |
