I know people contour is many ways and use many different products and tools.
So what do you use when you contour and highlight, and what do you apply/blend/buff it with?
Any tips or tricks that help you get the look you love?
Photos of products/faces/tools are most welcome!! =]

For a highlight I am currently using Benefit's High Beam!

I use Rimmel's Natural Bronzer (I forgot the shade, but there's only like 3 or 4) for contouring and Hard Candy's Baked Bronzer in Tiki as a highlighter (yes, it's not actually a bronzer). I have high end bronzers and highlighter too but I always reach for these ones. Oh, and I use the Real Techniques contour brush obv for contouring and a fan brush to apply highlighter. I like fan brushes because they pick up just enough product - not too little, and not too much so that you look like a disco ball. Also, because of its shape, applies the product exactly where I need it.

Well... For my first try at it I used a brown eyeshadow and a rosy white eyeshadow to just get the look of it and blended with a blush brush. I'm sure using tricolor foundation and/or actual highlighting powder (I do have a bronzer now!) works better but I got the effect I wanted from using what I already had.

Something I really liked technique-wise was, in addition to under cheekbones and on the sides of the nose was putting a little smidgen below my lower lip, and a small triangle (pointing up) on the bottom-centre of my chin. The result is a fuller looking lip and a sculpted chin :)

Recently I have been seeing many people using concealers or cream pigments for contouring. Does anyone do this? If so, what do you use, and do you aply over or under your foundation?

I use NYX highlight and contour compact. I put my foundation on first with a real techniques stippling brush, apply the contour shade to where I want it (this changes depending on how fat I feel) and then use the same brush I used to apply my foundation with to buff it out. Works well for me :D.
