WOC: what is your fav. contour product ?

[sagehen]

I use harmony for all over contour but when I want my cheeks to pop, I go in with a thin line of embark and blend it more narrowly to give more definition. It's simple and works great for me!

I do this too. I love using eye shadow for a powder contour; it is too difficult to find a good product made specifically for contour for WOC, so I started using e/s long ago.

I just discovered Harmony! It is perfect. I love it, it does not turn orange or red on me! I am going to try embark for added emphasis

What about for much darker skintones?

Embark (e/s) is a fave for darker skins (dark, matte e/s is mentioned many times in this thread), as is Definitive sculpting powder and CG Queen bronzer in Ebony Bronze.

Thanks. I think I'm gonna go for the Becca though since I've never had luck with Covergirl and I don't want to use Embark. It's too small and I don't want to replace it so often.

I love that it doesn't have the orangey red look. Enjoy!

I am NC 50 & I put on about 2-3 layers & used it with a thin line of embark & it was very nice, it added just a bit more emphasis. I think it will work but you will have to layer. It is almost like a nude blush/bronzer on me

I use a CoverGirl Queen bronzer to contour.

My favorite contour product is Sephora 8 hour mattifying foundation compact in Ebony , #8.
I use it as bronzer too sometimes. Its brown but does not lean orange or red on my NC50 skin.

I just discovered MAC Saddle!!! I use it to contour my nose, Embark and Blunt were to obvious and harsh on me, though I love them for a cheek contour...I use a 215 brush and Saddle ( orangy brown) gives me an instant rhinoplasty haha

I finally got Becca's Cocoa and it is literally all I need. It is neutral to cool in tone so if I want to warm it up I put MAC's Raizin over it. And I use so little it'll last me forever.

I am NC 50, have any of you tried Sleek Face Form? Would I get Medium or Dark?
Thank you

I am NC 50, have any of you tried Sleek Face Form? Would I get Medium or Dark? Thank you [/quote I use dark sleek face form. Just hit pan the other day. It's not TOOO dark it's just right. I barely use the other 2 colors. Just started using the middle shade as highlighter. It's actually very pretty. Color #3 not sure about lol. I'm also nc 50.

 

[gina12345]

Thank you so much! I am going to order it!!

I realized how much I love buck from my naked palette as my transition shade so lately I've been using it to contour! Pop it on my 109 brush and there ya go. Then I usually go over it with my estee lauder bronze goddess bronzer with a crown brush um i guess big fluffy contour brush ive had for ages because I have a heavy hand and like to be a bit more warm. I'm about nc44. Love buck! I want to spend on contour powders but once you really use what you have there simply is no need.

Which shade(s) do you use? I believe you can buy these in singles.

I use Mandalay dusk powder from shea moisture

l This powder is beautiful! It is my new love. The sleek contour kit in medium is great on my C8/NC50 skin. The dark is for my dramatic days. My sis bought one of black up's dual ended highlight/contour stick. It's the closest to richly honed she's seen.

I agree I use Embark. Perfect for contouring. blunt doesn't show up on me.

I've been using Embark for years on my brows. Didn't even think to use it for contouring!

So far I've been using what I have to contour with. Mostly face products that I ordered that were too dark. I tried LA Girl Pro Concealers, not bad, but I prefer the Toffee color more for outlining my brows. The applicator brush makes it easy. But I feel like I want a palette so I'm not repeatedly grabbing products. I'm no contour-queen mind you, I don't really do it during the week for work. More for when I go out. I went to Sephora on Friday and fell in love with the Cover FX Contour Kit! Anyone see or try it out? I would need N Deep and that #2 color is everything!! A nice bronze. I'm a NW45 and everything out there for contouring, as I'm sure a lot of you have experienced, the darkest shade is usually the same color as my skin. I bought NYX's Wonder Stick and that's exactly what happened. After wanting it since last summer and they never restocked until this year and that's what happened. I was pissed.

Also saw Sephora's contour palette in the store. It's huge. I like that the dark color is actually dark. For $28 wondering if you really can go wrong.
