do you do it before foundation or after?

I am pretty sure you contour after foundation :)

You can do it either way. I see lots of people apply highlighter and bronzer or whatever and then buff it out with foundation, but there's lots of people that highlight and bronze after applying foundation. I guess it's just personal preference! I've only tried after though with powders.

I do it after my foundation because I use darker & lighter concealer to contour :)

Hi Bailey, you can do it before or after, all depends on preference and what products your using. If your using creams, you do it before your foundation and then buff your foundation in blending the contouring and highlighting together. If you use powder, then do it after you apply your foundation. Hope that makes sense. :)
