Hi everybody :)
I've really wanted to start contouring with concealer instead of a powder since I haven't been able to find a powder that's a good shade for my pale skin since most of them are really orange. I don't want the kardashian look where every millimetre of your face is covered with concealer I just want a simple natural approach and I heard this is the way:)

I don't know what brand or type of concealer I should use and what to blend it out with , any suggestions? And I'm kind of on a budget and am limited to mostly only drugstore products :/

Thank you so much for your help:)

Try the mabeline fit me concealer. Get 1 shade darker and 1 shade lighter and one that matches your skin tone. Then buy a foundation rounded top blending brush. Put the darker shade on the parts of your face you want to contour and the lighter shade where you want to bring out. Then put the one that matches your skin tone on blemishes, etc. lastly just blend away with the brush or even with your fingers or a sponge. Goodluck and I hope this helps!

@ destiny are are you only supposed to do one shade darker because I use the lightest shade for the maybelline fit me concealer and the next colour dome is kind of yellowish? But still really light

Lindsay, you can go 2-3 shades darker. Atleast that's what I do, and it seems to work fine! (:

Also, Hannah, please make your own thread to ask that question. (: you're probably newer here. If you make your own thread and classify it in the hair section, I'm sure you'll get lots of help!

NYC Bronzer was really orange on me. I'm also always the lightest shade in foundations. I like the NYX blush in Taupe. Or a matte gray toned brown eyeshadow that is not too dark also has the same effect.

Thank you ladies

@ Emily k I have the NYC bronzed and it's a bit to orange for my skin it could have just been the one that I bought though

@ Em L do you know any good contour kits that are 20$ or under?

Try finding a dark shade of concealer that is more brown than yellow and for the lighter shade maybe try and use a highlighting powder

Well it isn't a concealer, but try the Maybelline Fit Me foundation sticks! They are really easy to blend out, just make sure not to overdo it :)
