Hi! I have a couple of questions for all of you. I recently started contouring and I just wanted to know if contouring is possible with foundation? I know it's possible with a concealer, but wouldn't contouring with foundation make it look more heavy? To contour using foundation I would need 2 shades darker than my regular shade correct?

I'm pretty sure you could, if you just take it on something small, like a concealer brush, and draw your contour line. and correct, two shades darker.

Much agreed with Shreya S.

Just make sure the foundation or concealer you're using is cool toned and doesn't have warm yellow undertones

Yes! Just don't layer it, and it'll be dandy!

You can use a darker foundation or concealer to contour but I would recommend just using a product meant for contouring because it will have the grey undertone you need to achieve a shadow look, foundation can look a little pink or orange.

I have done it using a foundation a few shades darker and used my beauty blender for a blended look :) I do this so when I put my powder contour over its a lot more harsh.
