| hello, it's me again! I have a tendency to ask tons of questions, so please forgive me. I want to start contouring my cheeks, but I don't know what color to choose from. I have got pale skin with a pink/ruddy tone to it. I usually use a yellow/green corrector powder to even the skin tone. For normal blush, it's either a pink or a peach color. I've seen contour colors used for pale skin in a medium brown, but is that too dark? |

| I've been using Bare Escentuals' Warmth. It works but gets too dark easily, so you've got to really work with it. I've got very very pink/blotchy but pale skin. |

| I use a light brown eyeshadow, and find it works really well, and blends nicely with peachy/pink blushes (I just blend really well, and then go over with a light dusting of powder). | |

| I use a brown powder that's made more for bronzing than anything else. Like Warmth, the colour builds really quickly, so you have to blend it like crazy I have quite pale skin, pretty neutral in tone. | |

| medium browns are perfect. here's a video of leesha's daily face. look at what she uses to contour - its really dark, but with a decent brush, it blends out fairly nicely.

| I just got the palest bronzer by Rimmel today, I think it's Sun Light? And I put some on when I got home, and it does its job. I don't look like I got attacked by a tanning bed, and I don't look like I've got dirt smudges on my face. I think this'll be what I get from now on, it's good for my pale skin. | |

| She has just the perfect amount of contouring going on, there.
Definitely play around with different stuff. The first time I tried contouring, I looked like a drag queen. Not a good one, either. | |
