I'm a novice at contouring, so I'll let the more experienced weigh in. You could opt for highlighting instead! I prefer highlighting because it seems a bit more natural to me.

I don't think you have saggy cheeks. I found this on pinterest. I like how she measures. this is how I contour

Yes contour will work, you just have to have the right expectations from it. It won't dramatically change your entire face shape, however it will give you depth and dimension back after applying foundation, and it can help trick the eye into making your face shape look different to a certain extent. I know that explanation may have sounded confusing, it was hard to put into words.
So looking at your face, I see an oval. Slightly oblong, but not by much. So when you contour directly under your cheekbone, keep it a tad more horizontal than vertical. I would take it from your hairline (wherever right below your cheekbone is) and draw a line slightly down and across, and cup under the apples of your cheeks just a little! The line should not come near your nose. Just flick it up under the beginning of the apple of your cheek. Then blend. Your forehead is nice and regular sized so I wouldn't contour there. The nose is pretty simple, just down he sides and on the tip if you wish. You can also contour your jawline, just be sure to blend well. I know that sounded confusing. If you want me to draw the line on my own face and send a pic of that I will. I love contouring, I hate that I had such a hard time explaining this!

Oh I don't think you have saggy cheeks either. They're just lengthy. Highlight directly above your contour, right on your cheekbone.

Donna, one highlights where natural light hits your features. Miss Jackie/Miss Alma have very informative posts in how to position a light to get the optimum look. I agree that your cheeks don't look saggy either. Experiment and have fun!

Contour with definitely work on you. Try with a very nature look with more of a highlight and it will look great just experiment a little.

Www.beautylish.com/AJ06 for Miss Alma, I believe. I'll try to get the link to Miss Jackie's profile for you too. it's a little difficult on my cell.

I can't snag the link, but if you find a post from Jacqueline H, that's Miss Jackie. She's posted in the Wet Lip look thread recently if that helps you! :)

This is the kind of line I was talking about. (Please excuse my bare face and terrible skin!). If you place the contour in a bit of a lengthwise position, it will help to lift your cheeks and also break up the length of your cheeks. The slight upturn at the end is what I meant by slightly cupping the apples of your cheeks. Good luck and let us know how it turns out for you!!
