Hi :)

Does anyone have any advice/good products they use for highlighting and contouring? I live in the UK so they need to available here and would prefer to start off with middle to low price range products as I'm new to contouring and highlighting! I'm blonde with fair-medium coloured combination skin and do suffer from acne so nothing too oily!

Thank you in advance x

I use the maybelline fit me stick in the darkest color (cocoa) to contour and almay wake me up concealer (light/medium) as a highlighter :-)

@Thea, you look like you'd be lighter than 1-2 shades above the darkest shade :p

You can use a bunch of different products to contour with!
you can buy high end contouring products like the Anastasia Contouring Kit or the Kevin Aucoin Sculpting Powder. you can also just purchase a foundation/concealer/powder that has a cool undertone & is only about 1-2 shades darker/lighter that your skin tone to highlight & contour with. I personally find powders easier to contour with, at least when you're first learning c:
hope I could help! xx

Thanks girls :) so in theory you could buy my same foundation in darker/lighter shades if I couldn't find anything else suited to my skin? Will try your products though! Xx
