CONQUERING CREAM CONTOURING

Hello everyone! So when it comes down to makeup application at some point we have all had some form of fear when it comes to applying a certain type of product, whether that is doing a wing liner or applying false lashes. In my case that fear was always cream contouring, as i always had these visions that my face would be left looking like a muddy/patchy mess but how i was wrong and now i have conquered that fear and cream contouring has now become a part of my everyday makeup routine.


If you are looking for a super hydrating formula product to cream contour with, if you are like me and have a dry/normal skin-type then this product is going to work for you, over something thick and creamy in pan form. The great thing about this product is that it is a multi-purpose product with it being double-ended, one side a contour shade and the other a highlight shade. This particular shade almond is perfect for me as it isn't too warm or too cool toned, it is that perfect in-between and the highlight shade is a beautiful slightly yellow/brightening shade. My favourite way to apply this product is simply straight from the applicator, blending the contour shade with the real techniques bold metals 301 flat contour brush and to blend the highlight shade i always go in with a damp beautyblender. (RRP £9.50)

So this is the specific cream contour product, well concealer that i mentioned in my most recent everyday base makeup favourites post and one i have been using quite frequently just lately. I had mentioned how i had seen quite a few people use a darker shade in this concealer to contour with, so i just had to give it a try for myself because i knew i love the concealer in my usual shade for my under-eyes. As it suggests this product is a super "hd" full coverage concealer, so for contouring i have learnt a little goes a long way. Just like the nyx sculpt and highlight product, i like to go straight in with the applicator on my face but i like to use a beauty blender to blend this one out over a brush. (RRP £5)

Finally we have the product that finally sold me on cream contouring and one that is great for those who are scared of the process just like me, because it is literally foolproof. The product comes in stick form that can be twisted up, either allowing you to apply straight to the face or how i like to do and apply some product to the brush, blending as you apply and to do that i always opt for the freedom pro strobe brush that came with a palette but i ended up loving the brush more than the palette. The actual formula of the contour stick is super creamy yet easy to work with, allowing you to blend the product out effortlessly. (RRP £19.50)
