I've never been able to properly contour my face or nose because of my pale complexion If I buy a darker powder I always buy it wayy to dark, any tips for me gals please?:)

Nyx has a powder blush named taupe if you can get that it's great for contouring pale skin that's what I use plus it's only like $5.

I have pale skin too, and like Megan said, NYX blush in Taupe is perfect, especially if you have cool undertones. I couldn't find it at Ulta, though, so I had to order it online.

First place your foundation over the intire face so that you don't look too far off after contouring.. Next get a flat concealer or foundation brush and find a dark shade to trace downwards from your eyebrows to the inner part of your nostril... then repeat on the opposite side..make the lines a little thicker if your nose is on the larger side.. the come down the middle with a light shade concealer and next get a powder brush and blend baby blend.. be sure not to blend soo much soo that the contour is gone...also you can trace a line darker shade from your tear duck down along side the nose and blend in with a blush brush to make the nose appear even more narrow...Hope it helps XOXO...

@Michelle: I bought mine off of NYX's website.
And Tierra brings up a good point about making sure it works with your foundation. I don't wear foundation so I never would have thought of that!

I actually think there's nothing wrong with your nose or cheeks.

It looks to like your nose is already heavily contoured (well done at that) so what exactly are you asking..from the look of your other pics I'd say you understand the concept :/
