NW45 and contour colour for cheeks

[j4lyphe]

Hey guys I want to learn how to contour but I have no clue what colours to use. Any suggestions are welcome and are NOT limited to MAC only, also wat r good colours for highlighting for NW45?

I am NW45 too and I use MAC Mineralize SkinFinish Natural in Dark to contour with an angled brush. I hope this helps!

Format from MAC is a good blush to use for contouring.

Blunt is recommended for a good contour color.

Sorry, but I'm pretty much limited to MAC on recommendations LOL

I use Blunt for contour.

Blunt is a good contour color. I learned how to apply contour colors from Kevin Aucions book "Making Faces". Very good info on all makeup applications. He was genius.

any foundation that is darker than your skintone can be used as a contour

when using a powder i use blunt, or ardell's brow powder which is similar in color to Brun eyeshadow.

I prefer to use liquid/cream for contouring in which case i'll use any mac foundation in nw 50 or nw 55... or bobbi brown's foundation in expresso

and i second using albatross by NARS as a highlight i love love love it

O and go gators!

 

[chocolategoddes]

A foundation in NW55 makes an amazing contour!

 

[j4lyphe]

I agree! NW55 studio stick foundation would make a great contour, buffed out with a 109 brush. You could also just use a highlight and you would have an automatic contour. Try highlight colors like gold deposit, melon pigment, trace gold, honour blush, springsheen.

I use Blunt and Format but I do agree with you. Studio fix in darker shades works really well.
