Re: You fave contouring shades?
Blunt [blush] is a good one. for crazy in-depth photo or night out looks i like to use Brun e/s and blend it really well to that it makes the contour pop

I'm NC40 right now (usually NC35-37) and I use Emote but now that I'm a bit darker I've been having to sorta pile it on. I tried my Cork e/s which is very close to Emote but a tad darker and it works too

Re: You fave contouring shades?
i use strada or so ceylon as contouring (normally use ceylon ontop for the cheeks to 'pop') im lighter than a nw15 though 
for darker skntones if you could get hold of metal rock msf- ive seen it look absolutly gorgeous
also Guerlain Africa Rythm sun powder- very shimmery (bit expensive) but worth it (comes in lovely packaging)

Re: You fave contouring shades?
I'm very light-skinned, but my shade of foundation (well, at least by classification goes) begs to differ. I really love the way Shade looks though. Good for medium skintones.

Re: You fave contouring shades?
Good thread.
I'm learning more about contouring and I'm interested in some recs for contouring colors. I'm an NW43 if that helps.

Re: You fave contouring shades?
I just picked up Blunt...finally!
What I'm, normally, using for my NC20 shade:
Emote
Harmony
and the ever elusive discontinued LOVECRUSH Sheertone Shimmer Blush...mmmm the best. I haven't run out of this yet...but when I do, you'll hear about it! 
Trust!

Ooh! Harmony! I've been contemplating copping it. You think you can swatch it for me?  I've been trying to find contour shades, and I haven't tried Harmony yet.

Re: You fave contouring shades?
After reading this post, I think Dark/Deep Dark MSFN applied with a fan brush would work for me...but what about Refined Deeper Bronze? Would that be good to contour with for a nice glowy look?

Re: You fave contouring shades?
Awesome, I'm about NC45, and I've never found a bronzer that shows up on me as contour. I didn't want to resort to using the darker MSFNs because my mum will steal them to set her foundation!
BTW, totally bookmarking your blog.
