Help! I really like makeup, but I am a novice. Could someone suggest the best contour and blush shades for me? I wear NC45 shade in MAC Studio Fix foundation. Also, I tend to lean towards bronzy and neutral brown shadow colors.

For contour, maybe a dark brown eyeshadow? Something like MAC Brun?

Emote from MAC if you can get it...Inglot makes really good blushes/contours and have a TON of shades to choose from. If you wanna go with NARS Laguna bronzers always a classic. If you don't want to spend money e.l.f. makes pretty decent bronzers for $1-3. Like Eli said above...orange is a good color for most skintones :) Sleek has one its called Aruba, its part of the Curacao collection if I'm right...really nice orangey sunset color :) hope this helps!:)

As stated before, MAC has a contour color called blunt and another (available at MAC PRO) called just brown or brown down or something like that. CARGO's Laguna (orange/coral color) is beautiful on deeper skin tones as is Razin from MAC along with dolly mix, sweet as cocoa and format. Actually, now thinking about it, I use to alternate between NC45 and NC50 when I wore MAC foundation. So if you want you can take a look at some of my video to see the different colors I use and how they come up on my skintone...maybe you can find something/s you like.

I am a NW45 and the NARS orgasm blush is too light for me. I like NARS Exhibit A or NYX orange mosaic powder. I dont really contour so I cant help there, sry =(
