Re: You fave contouring shades?
hey ladies....

Ok, I've been using the brown side of the HIP Brazen duo for a contour shade....but I'm worried that this may be too dark...or that I'll look like I've got hyperpigmented cheeks, instead of a beautiful contour....I don't know my MAC shade but that's me in the avatar.....and here's a pic of the e/s in case you don't know...it's the brown side. I hope someone can help me out...maybe tell me a better shade...

Re: You fave contouring shades?
currently I've been lightly using Shadester (sculpting powder)
and for a more glowy look, with Woodwinked &/or Golden Bronze (iridescent loose powder)

i love this shadow by HIP its soo sweet. i use the brown side for my eyebrows but have not thought about using it for a contour. i dont see why it would not work for you just dont use a heavy hand. you only want to swipe it back and forth lightly below the cheek bone area!! try blunt by MAC it should work just as good. I use Sable blush by Iman (walgreens has it) as a contour shade and find great results.

Re: You fave contouring shades?
Like many others, Blunt blush is one of my staples.

I was actually put on to it by some other Specktra members and I'm so glad! I never did contouring prior to buy Blunt a few months ago. My made up face look so much sexier and sophisticated with some contouring.

For the eyes.. try MAC Folie, Saddle, Swiss Chocolate, or Embark.

NW50 or NW55 Studio Stick foundations.
Warm Light/Definitive Duo powder.

Sometimes I mix the colours, too.

I think I saw you last summer at the MAC store and I didn't say hi because at the time I did not know who you were until I saw your videos. I remembered your face because I thought you were really nice and pretty.
