What should I be buying to contour my face? Is it just lighter and darker liquid and powder? Is there a set I can buy to do this?

I just use a matte bronzer, but I've heard of people using foundation that us about three to four shades darker. Then, blend blend blend.

You can use a foundation a shade or two darker well blended and there are many contour powders now not to be confused with a bronzer powder which is for actual glow effect to your skin were the sun would hit but in some cases people are using the bronzer as a contour powder which could be ok if it's a matte bronzer but it does give a different finish because it's a product made for something else and that is why so many have such harsh lines because of that bronzer texture finish gives off a muddy look.I suggest a foundation or actual contour powder you'll notice the difference of how the illusion structure finish with contouring should be and not noticeable  :-)

Sorry it's a pet peeve of mine when contour is done wrong, been in the makeup art for over 20 years and you tend to get overwhelmed and obsessed with the application lol.

Make Up Forever has a contour powder and I think MAC has one as well. I think Sleek cosmetics also. Curious to know of any other one's out there too.

Thank you Jacqueline and for your wonderful info..Almost every line has a sculpting contouring product Mac, smash box, Estee Lauder the list goes on :-) It's just one of the true hidden treasures that most don't know about, it because they're all mesmerized by bronze lol

Ben Nye has great contour cremes and powders! I also love Senna contour kit. It has highlighters and contour cremes for light to medium skin tones and one for women of color.  Gorgeous!!
