I am thinking about blunt as a contour?

[justtobenaked]

I have seen many youtube videos that use MAC blunt blush as a contour, is it worth it? Thanks

What's your complexion/skintone?

It's worth it as long as you are medium-tan skintoned. It can be used as a matte bronzer too if it suits your coloring.

Blunt is a bit too dark for me because I am super pasty, but it works for most people!

I love Blunt as a contour...I am NC45...

I am NC44 or Bare Ecentuals dark and I love it as a contour. You have to be careful not to overdo it though. The right brush is the key

How does Blunt compare to Emote as a contour? Any recs for the best contour for NW30? I currently really like Buff and Harmony with a light hand.

I just purchased this through a sale on here and it works if I barely apply it...or it makes me look like I have dirt on my face ...weird description...

Yep it works as a contour just fine for the right skintone.

<---- NC42'ish

I use it as my contour all the time and I'm pasty as heck! I'm a NW15 SFF

By far my favorite contour color!!

Emote is more taupey in color than Blunt...Blunt is more brown...Emote is okay but on my tone it looks a bit ashy grey at times

I'm NC37 & I found that Blunt works way better for me than Emote. Emote barely showed up, so I had to pile it on, and when I did, it ended up looking very grey/ashy-brown. Blunt is just a true brown that works for med-dark skintones bc it looks as if it casts a natural shadow in your cheek contour area.

^I agree... I am med. skintone (between NW25/30) and Emote is the PERFECT contour for me! It is darker than "Buff" but much lighter than Harmony blush. I found emote is a neutral brown in between the two which is EXACTLY what I was looking for. I just bought one on eBay since it's LE so I will have a backup
