I need a powder for contouring. I just found out that my bronzer is red toned because its more meant to be a bronzer instead of a contour. No wonder it looked weird when I used it to contour. Do you know a good not too expensive contouring powder I should get? Also what brush do you use to contour? :)

So glad you understand the difference of the two products.I recommend a sculpting kit and keep in mind that some products are calling there products contour kits or claiming to be sculpting kits when in fact they're still trying to push the silly bronzer powder as it and remember sculpting kits have gray tones to it.I really can't recommend a lower cost sculpting kit because most true kits are pricey as some lower cost are mismarketing the products trying to pass as contour or sculpt but are passing bronzer as it which is a bad rip-off for people I think it's wrong.So be careful and always look at the color it should be cool and grayish.

Lol I'm glad my info helped Bri-Bri you need a gray cast not an actual gray color.I do not recommend a gray eye shadow color for sculpting at all.You could use a shade darker foundation or foundation stick with a gray tone, if need be and I would also say that the ELF contouring kit is one of those kits trying to pass as a product for sculpting when it's really A Blush & Bronzer kit ,(you'll notice that off the bat when you see the red tones in it) it's purpose is to be used for the after product which means it's used after you sculpt then use blush and bronze to enhance the finish contour look :) and NYC bronzer is Bronze you know that means sun kissed finish Bronze+Tan+Glow+red to orange tones not for contour.X OUT the BRONZE No Matter if matte or not it's still the wrong color that doesn't fix the problem Lol
