I've never been able to properly contour my face or nose because of my pale complexion If I buy a darker powder I always buy it wayy to dark, any tips for me gals please?:)

Nyx has a powder blush named taupe if you can get that it's great for contouring pale skin that's what I use plus it's only like $5.

I have pale skin too, and like Megan said, NYX blush in Taupe is perfect, especially if you have cool undertones. I couldn't find it at Ulta, though, so I had to order it online.

First place your foundation over the intire face so that you don't look too far off after contouring.. Next get a flat concealer or foundation brush and find a dark shade to trace downwards from your eyebrows to the inner part of your nostril... then repeat on the opposite side..make the lines a little thicker if your nose is on the larger side.. the come down the middle with a light shade concealer and next get a powder brush and blend baby blend.. be sure not to blend soo much soo that the contour is gone...also you can trace a line darker shade from your tear duck down along side the nose and blend in with a blush brush to make the nose appear even more narrow...Hope it helps XOXO...

@Michelle: I bought mine off of NYX's website.
And Tierra brings up a good point about making sure it works with your foundation. I don't wear foundation so I never would have thought of that!
