I kind of have a round/ovalish face shape, I know where to contour but where should I put the highlight

The highlight would be placed where the light or sun naturally hits the face. My best advice to help any is to Place a lamp on the side of you and look into the mirror you will see the placements light hits on the face which would be above cheek bone and brow bone area. :) lol Sandra you know it ;)

I just bought the Kevyn Aucoin sculpting powder. I think it's either too dry for my skin or I'm applying it, maybe, with the wrong kind of brush - it just sort of sits there & doesn't blend well. What kind of brush would you use? Can you wear it over liquid foundation?

I've been using the MAC Flat Contour Brush, which I don't like at all - it's too stiff.

Chris, I'm no pro but what works for me is using a synthetic brush -angled for my cheeks and an eye shadow brush for around the nose. I barely touch the brush to the powder because I found out initially I got way too much product. I've used it with both my IT's CC cream and my RCMA cream foundation. I want to try one of his highlighters next, but I'm not sure what will best suit me. I'm not sure if that was much help, but I hope it did at least a little.

Thanks Tina! A synthetic angled brush...hmmm...? Is it soft or firm? Widthwise, is it thick or thin? I use his highlighter in the tall red bottle...it's pretty and easy.

I'll take a picture of it for you Chris, it's pretty soft. It's a cheapy brush out of a cheapy set that I purchased so I could see what shapes and styles I liked so in the future I could invest in better quality ones.

Hi Tina, just wanted to let you know that I bought the Kevyn Aucoin contour brush - which I know not everybody loves, but I do! It's great and very comfortable for me. I have 2 soft, angled brushes like you mentioned, but mine were just too soft for me - didn't pick up or apply enough product. Thanks!
