I'm kind of Carmel skin, and I want to contour and use bronzer but I don't know how I would do that since my skin is already brown?

Use an actual contour powder. I'm not big on contouring with Bronzer anyway since they tend to be more red toned anyway.

Lol oh no I meant I want contour and I wanted to start using bronzer also.

Oh! Well Bronzer only needs to be slightly darker because you want a sun kissed effect, and a matte taule like Bronzer. Try nars casino for Bronzer and flower Beuaty blush duo for a contour, they're pretty brown toned with no shimmer I love them they blend pretty well too.

ELF makes a blush/contour duo in a few different shades. The one called Turks & Caicos or the one in Antigua would be some good options for darker skin.

I don't find elf blush that pigmented, I haven't bothered with the contour powder but I've switched it and it's a little red toned.

Hey love! You look pretty close to my completion. What I use to contour on me is a powder foundation that is 3-4 shades darker than my skin tone. The one that I use and absolutely adore is by ELF studio pressed powder. It is very pigmented and easy on your pockets. The shade I use is in coco: http://www.eyeslipsface.com/studio/face/powder/pressed_powder.
