Some use concealer and a darker foundation. Others use powder I use a matte brown powder and a Highlighting powder. Well I use an angled brush and a small thin brush to highlight.

Any kind of bronzer or like a concealor a shade or two darker than your skin, you can use a kabuki brush, and angled contour brush or for a more natural look you can use a giant fan brush in the 3 and E motion (3 is for the right side and E is for the ledt side), start at your hair line and sweep down into yoyr cheekbone and then goback around to your jawline like a 3 or an E.

I wouldn't use a typical bronzer for contouring. Bronzers are meant to give a "tan" look to the face.. they're typically orange and red based, which looks extremely unnatural for contouring. Try to find a cool-toned bronzer or try NYX's blush in Taupe. In terms of a brush, I use the contour brush from ELF, but nearly any brush will work honestly. It has more to do with the technique than the actual brush itself. I've used all kinds of brushes for it and it usually ends up the same.
