What's the difference between these two? can you use a contoour powder as a bronzer as well or vice versa.

A contour powder is cool toned and is used to create a shadow. A bronzer is more warm toned and is used to add a sun kissed/tanned look to the skin.

Using a bronzer to contour looks unnatural since shadows are cool toned and not warm toned, and vice versa for using a contouring powder as a bronzer.

Completely agree with Alexis! So you'll want to use a contour shade first to give you that shadow and "cheek bone you're looking for" then over that you'll wanna add the bronzer! :)

A contour powder is to create shadows and emphasise features. Bronzer is to warm up your face and give a nice sun kissed glow ❤️
