I need an under eye concealer, matte highlight, bronzer and a natural looking contour! Pleaseeee help me. I need a pretty full coverage concealer and I need it not to settle in lines. I really need it to not go cakey. Also I want a natural looking subtle contour.

Concealer: NYX HD Concealer or MAC Pro Longwear

Contour: Too Faced Chocolate Soleil. It's cool toned and matte so it's perfect for contouring or NYX Blush in Taupe

I had a problem with cakey contour and highlight as well and I was using the high end and I also like full coverage I use maybelline fit me shine free foundation stick in the color toffee caramel witch it's like $8 and for the highlight I use maybelline dream lumi touch highlighting concealer in the color buff for the highlighter which is like $7 for the contour powders I use the naked flushed in the color streak which is $30 its light weight and not cakey but has full coverage and really brings out your definition and shape it's also really cheap you can get it at Walmart or any drug stores.

Alexis could you please swatch the chocolate and nyx please and how is it compared to a contour/ sculpt powder? Codi what's your skin type and Price range?

My price range is flexible, I prefer not to spend over 30 dollars per product, unless it's a palette or just a products I can't live without

Have you tried the Mufe camouflage concealer palette? My top fave well worth it and completely stays on all day with the Max full coverage.As for sculpting contour I'm a Kevyn A gal have to find anything close but you can go old school and use a foundation a shade darker.As for matte highlight you can also go old school with that and get a shade lighter in matte powder

Do cream/liquid contours look more natural than powders?

Feb 20, 2015

Alexis C.

Alma, I don't have the NYX Blush but I've heard from multiple people that it's a great shade for contouring. I was going to pick it up the other day at Ulta but they didn't have it. I'll swatch the Too Faced Chocolate Soleil for you, though (:

I use a sculpting powder but when working with liquid or cream it really comes down to your own personal skill to be honest, you have control of the product.

Sorry I ask so many questions lol but could I use the MUFE palette for contour and for my under eye?

Feb 20, 2015

Alma M.

No problem lol, You could but be sure to to get a correct color like fawn but that is sold in single tube as for the palette it's for concealing and correcting and that determines what you want concealed or corrected.

But I'm sure you don't actually have to contour just focus on highlighting and a very nice blush. Thank you Alexis much appreciated

Drugstore:

under eye concealer: maybelline instant age rewind; not a great variety of colors, but people usually use it for brightening so you should be able to find a color that suits you. it ranges $7-9 depending where you go. the coverage [my experience] isn't amazing, but it does work for brightening under your eyes which is a good thing for me :)
highlight:
honestly, I don't have much experience with highlights. I use an eyeshadow..I have though heard of one from Loreal that I think ranges from $9-11. not for sure on the price, but lauren curtis raves about this product!
bronzer:
I like the nyc smooth skin sunny bronzer. it's a great bronzer [little shimmer] about $3-5 I believe and will last you quite some time! its not for contour though. it does have a slight orange tint which could make your face look muddy if used as contour!

high end:

concealer:
I've not really tried for myself yet, but I have heard so many things about the Mac Pro longwear! they say it has good coverage and doesn't crease :) though, take in mind, I have not tried this product out myself.
highlight:
I've heard great things about the becca highlighters as well as the benefit high beam, but like I said before, I'm not great with highlighters. I've even heard people say they use still kitten for highlight.
bronzer:
I've only tried the Estée Lauder ones which I didn't care for to much, but I have heard great things about benefit hola bronzer.

sorry if I'm not much help [my drugstore alternatives were probably much more helpful lol] but I hope this was somewhat useful and that I threw out some suggestions! you should definitely do a review on any products you do get :)

I love maybelline dream lumi touch concealer for undereyes, I just repurchased it.
Too Faced Chocolate Soleil is definetly the best.

Feb 20, 2015

Isabella K.

Oh, and if you have deep unereye circles I would definetly go with bobbi brown's concealers and correctors.

I love becca shimmeting skin perfector highlighter. It's really famous among makeup artists too!

My hg under eye concealer is Mac Pro long wear, and I loooove the chocolate soleil bronzer. I've only used the benefits whatsapp highlighter and it works well, but I don't have anything else to compare it to. I've been dying to try that Kevin aucoin powder but not sure if I want to pay that much for such little product haha :(
