I'm afraid of my Shadester! NC37-42 ladies how do you use it?

[MissAlphaKitty]

I bought it because it was sold to me as one of those 'so essential' products for contouring for my colouring. But it looks soooo dark in the pan and I'm kinda a make-up clutz and afraid of ending up with dark stripes. Is there a brush or technique you ladies like to use that might help make the application less goof-proof?

I am nc43 and i use shadester. Don't freak out it's perfect for our skin tone.
I apply it with the 168 angled brush and if i end up with too much i just pick a kabuki brush and blend it out. If you still think it's too dark you can buff a bit of powder on top to tone it down.

Hope this helps.

Yes, you always contour first. I highlight after applying blush too.
