So I am incredibly pale, I'm shade NC15 in Mac foundation, even that is a bit off for me, and I'm in need of a good contour product/palette. I find that warmer orange shades look strange on my skin, I've been searching for a product for a while now and I'm at a loss ): could anyone help me out? I will post a picture of my skin tone.

Kevin aucoin sculpting powder.

Well you shouldn't be using a warm shade to contour anyways. To contour you'll want to use a cool toned shade since you're trying to create a shadow. I use Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Matte Bronzer because it's cool toned. Since you're so pale you'll probably want the Milk Chocolate shade rather than the regular Chocolate shade. I know people use NYX Blush in Taupe to contour but I haven't been able to pick that up to try it yet (:

Also, I ise NYX Illuminator in Ritualistic to highlight. It gives a soft glow without looking too overpowering (:

Kevyn Aucion sculpting powder is amazing and I am about the same color as you. And for a super shimmery highlight Becca moonstone, Mary lou manizer. For a beautiful, lit from within look, I love laura merciers Matte Radiance Baked Powder Compact in highlight 01 is great.

I've never used it but the Kevyn Aucoin sculpting powder looks incredible! If you're looking for a cheaper alternative, I use the NYX HD blush in Taupe and I love it, it really does mimic a shadow

I would go with the Kevyn Aucoin Contour book, it has all his lovely sculpted products in one palette.I also think Mac soft&gentle skin finish would look great on you.

I went into Sephora today and they had never even heard of Kevyn Aucoin, I was actually kind of disgusted to be honest, hahaha. I guess I'll have to order it.

Anasatasia contour kit should have some cool toned colors.

Hahah Sandra, that's true, but they are working in a makeup store, anyone working with makeup should have knowledge of Kevyn Aucoin, he is a God lol.

I'm not surprised Bailee that they didn't know about KA, most that know of him are old school like me meaning age lol or are on Beautylish soaking up the beauty knowledge.

Lol Jacqueline and Alma, very great points, Making Faces was the first makeup book I picked up and I still to this day reference it. He is definitely an icon that still lives strong in the beauty industry!
