I'm generally a medium skin tone (as far as white people go), but my nose and cheeks are always red. I try to conceal the redness, but I can't make it disappear without looking ashy or cakey.

Anyway, it's been impossible to find a good contour color- everything I try ends up looking way too brown. Does anyone have any suggestions? (Drugstore products would be best.)

(The picture is me without any makeup- my face is just naturally so red!)

try Milan Secret Cover Concealer stick in shade 04. works great as a cream contour, just draw on and blend with fingers or a sponge

I usually wear medium shade foundations and also have a red undertone to my skin- Cargo has a contour and highlighting palette that's great- they only have 2 and i think the one i use is called Malibu. The contouring color is a kind of a mauvy shade so it has that red undertone in it- check it out on sephora's website and read the reviews.

I use a Sleek Blush in the shade Sahara during the summer months because I just like the subtle flush it gives my skin when I am tanned I go from being roughly NC 35 to NC 40 ish in the winter for reference. It is kind of a golden brown with red undertones and no shimmer. It's way to pigmented for me to wear when I am lighter because I don't like noticeable makeup on myself, but if you're using it as a contour I think it would be great for your skin color and undertones.

The website offers a more true to color photo of it. = P And it's only $5.99

NYC sunny bronzer or just look through your favorite drugstore pressed powder and grabbed a darker shade. They obviously have different shades of dark pressed powders and they can always be used for a contour since its matte. But if you would consider high end id go with benefits hoola bronzer it's my fav!!
