Contour recs for very pale skin?

[Tahti]

Hey hey hey...
I always do my contouring with MAC Strada, but recently I've decided I want to look for another (and maybe better) shade.
I loathe typical bronzing makeup, as I have no intention of making myself look darker... and all bronzers I find are a) not matte or b) way too orange.
I'm a bit lost for ideas... any help?

I just tried out Studio Sculpt concealer in a couple shades darker than my skin tone.... I really love it! I like liquid or cream and have always preferred those mediums over powder. The concealer blends really well and lasts sooo much longer than any contouring powder I've tried.

I have the accentuate/sculpt duo and I still like it but SS concealer is rockin my world right now. The MA's recommended Studio Stick or the other creamy foundations for contouring purposes but I stuck to my guns and picked up the concealer instead. It was the inexpensive alternative for me. I'd rather spend the extra $$ on something I'll use all over my face. I also really like that I use so little because it's so pigmented. I dunno if it sounds crazy but it works for me.

btw- I don't find that it makes me look darker just sculpted/dimensional... i think you'd just have to pick your shade accordingly

I like using MSFNs that are a couple shades darker than my skin tone, it makes the contour look really natural!

i use the mineralize skinfinish natural in medium, med plus, and either med dark, or med deep. i forget which one is not so red. but i use those to highlight and contour, they rock

You can never go wrong with using a foundation (cream, liquid, powder, or gel) that's darker than your skin tone.
As long as the foundation you're using doesn'y reflect too much light, it'll work.
You probably want to go with a foundation that has a bit of a warmer tone because contouring with a very cool toned shade can make you look a little "zombie" like for everyday.

I use MAC Studio Tech foundation in NW45. It's super dark but I apply it with a light hand, blend it out and it looks perfect
