Okay I have been trying to learn how to contour FOREVER but just don't get it...I know I'm dumb...but I have this picture and most of the pics I look at all look the same..can someone explain it, like what is the yellow color, is it concealer? & is the brown foundation? & no clue about the white.

The white is very light concealer, the brown is darker concealer. if you mix those two, you should get exactly your skin tone :) I don't know what the yellow is , maybe yellow toned concealer

Hi Andrea!

The yellow tone is to contradict any off-tone colors. It is mostly used around the eye area.

You can get all types of textures regarding highlighters and contours; Creams, powders, gels. All up to what you prefer.

If you don't have a contour color, a darker foundation can be used! As with highlighting, a foundation can be used - but use an illuminating primer and setting powder to give it that "glow".

I hope this helps x
