You fave contouring shades?

[moonlit]

any recs for bronzer for NC42?

[LatinaRose]

I use Tantone or Nars Casino. Sometimes MSF Natural in Dark.

I missed out on the MAC Sculpt and Shape Collection!

What would you recommend for an NC40?

I'm thinking either of these two:

Emphasize Shaping Powder (Pro) & Bone Beige Sculpting Powder (Pro)
Bone Beige = Cream with fine Pearl / Bone Beige = Soft warm brown matte

Lightsweep Shaping Powder (Pro) & Shadester Sculpting Powder (Pro)
Lightsweep = Warm beige with fine pearl / Shadester = Midtone leathery brown

For contouring, i love Joe Blasco's pressed powder in Ebony. I have the loose powder and is the perfect, neutral shade.

Hey everyone, I was also wondering what would be a good contour shade for tanned asian skin? (sorry I don't wear mac foundation so I don't know the colour equivalent. I definitely have yellow undertones though).

I often find that colours just look dirty on me (especially some kinds of bronzer) and I'm afraid blunt would be too dark.

Thanks in advance! <3

You should try the duo that came out with the MAC dsquare collection that has "Accentuate".

The darker of the duos would be perfect imo.. the lighter one is for NC15 type skins. If you just want the darker shade then get the Sculpt in the pan.

hey gurllls do u think blunt would work on nc35 ? or is it too dark?

[HerGreyness]

Blunt is a good sculpting color for NC35... the darker of the two Sculpt/accentuate in DSquared would also work. If you want one of the best contouring products try the Kevin Aucoin Sculpting powder.. or the NARS Zen.. these are great contouring products.

Blunt blush. It's a very subtle contour shade. Not dramatic at all even with a heavy hand. I'm an NC45 for color reference.

[disconlemonade]

Nars Casino is my number one, Blunt if I want a more emphasized contour. Harmony for a a light natural contour.

[j4lyphe]

So I went and tried MAC's Blunt blush as a contour colour...it blends in with my NW45 skintone...it blends in so much that it covers my natural contour that i have...i tried the darker of the 2 sculpting duos form the DSquared2 collection and it was too ashy on my skin...however when I went to Sephora I tried the darkest of the contouring palletes from MUFE, that shows up on my skin and is much warmer (not ashy, with slight redtones) and looks more natural on my skin when applied with a light hand so I think I'm gonna get that soon

NC50, just copped Blunt at my local CCO!
Thanx for the recommendation guys!

when using sculpting colors, you have to know what your skin tone is. some colors are way too light for some complexions from 30+ shades (taupe, spice, emote). And, for some light complexions just right. If you are using these for personal application you should have what suits you. If you are applying it on clients, you will need a light, mid tone and darker sculpting powder with no pink/orange or too much grey.

I use the DSquared2 duo in Accentuate and Sculpt. Very natural.

my favs are NARS multiple in Rapa Nui and Hourglass bronzer in Mirage. I wear MUFE HD in 173
