Thank you Lizeth, I will search for some tutorials but just wanted to know some basic thngs before. I've seen some pics where the contouring were made by using powders or smth, what it that?

I'd be careful with using Bronzer for a contour since most of them are red toned and will not give the right contour effect, it'll look more like a skin irritation or burn.

Flower beauty makes a great flat brown Bronzer
Also Hoola Bronzer is amazing for contour as well.

Basic tools is either a foundation a shade darker or a sculpting kit,because using a bronzer like mentioned has red tones hence that is why bronzers are for tanning effect all over the face now that being said you will have a hard time finding the correct way of using the right products because of the wide spread of people telling other's to use a bronzer which I could never understand it since Bronzer is for a tan sun kissed effect for the face not contour but can be use on the above apples of the cheek with blush to give off the purpose of glow,you know like when you wear sun glasses and under the glasses you get kinda red? ya that's what the bronzer effects is for and that's why so many have a difficult time finding the right shade because actually they're looking and using the wrong product that so many have such a bad streak across their cheeks it beats the purpose of contour because contour is the illusion of the face structure the color should never be seen and absolutely needs to be well blended.I do recommend a sculpting kit and you'll see a huge difference in color and finish :) smash box has a great sculpting kit and many others too.

That picture is an example of how contouring and highlight can be but keep in mind that you may not need to do that full on routine all over your face because it may not be in your favor we all have a different shape and more prominent features and for those features those are the ones you may use the grey tone to help decrease it.Highlight is to bring out the features ,You may try it out and see if you like it and take it from there.I also wanted to point out that it should be a (grey tone) powder for contour Not red or orange like a bronzer :) hope this helps

I think the techniques have already been explained pretty well, but in terms of products I'd recommend NYX's blush in Taupe. It's a cool-toned brown (basically a literal taupe color lol) and won't give off any hints of red or orange. Senna also has a "sculpting kit" that is nice, but it's pricey as hell.

Thanks, girls:-)
Alma, I agree about individual face shape, I've already excluded some lines I don't need to sculpt and Aubrey merci for recommendations:-)
