hi all,
I want to highlight and contour my face, do I do that on a layer of foundation or do I simply highlight with concealer, contour with my foundation and blend with a brush then set with powder?

That is a great question. And it depends. Some people like to Contor and highlight with concealers and foundations so this would be Darainde at the time you're actually doing your foundation after you've prepped your face. I myself prep my face put on Concealer where needed. Now, if you're just looking to hide imperfections you can use a regular concealer. If you want to brighten under the eyes you could make sure foundation or beauty bomb with a highlighter and highlight the High Plains on your face for a highlighting effect. This is my favorite thing to do. In the places where I haven't highlighted I take my stippling brush or my beauty blender and ad foundation to where I haven't Highlighted. Using of beauty blender or a stippling brush will give you the coverage you want infilling the color gaps between the highlights and the foundation. I like to put the foundation on the back of my hand so that I can get my stippling brush and smeared around on the back of my hand before going onto my face. One this lets me know how much product I'm using so I don't overuse. To this also allows me to apply an equal amount of product on my stippling brush. After this is set and dry you can add your contours where you haven't added your highlights under the cheekbones tops of the temples. I like to use the E3 Method With bronzer. You should be sweeping the bronzer brush in the shape of a three on the right city your face and the shape of an Eon the left side your face
