PostSubject: best color for contouring   best color for contouring EmptyFri Nov 09, 2007 11:28 am

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 Very Happy 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.
