I want to divulge into the realm of liquid contour and highlighting. I've had no problem find a contour shade, but my issue is finding a shade for highlighting. I'm aware of the "couple shades lighter than your skintone" rule, but I can't actually purchase anything lighter than my skin tone because I'm as fair as people get. can anybody suggest a product that I could try? if I can't find anything, I may have to stick to using powder. thanks!

Just get a liquid highlighter. It looks like a tube of lipgloss and most cosmetic lines have them.

Everything I tried just blends into my natural color so you can't even tell.

Try a light liquid foundation like L'oreal true match. Their color spectrum has a lot of variation. They have a shade called N1 that matches Dita Von Teese

I have different undertones, but I'm essentially as light as Dita Von Teese. I have high beam and a myriad of other products like that but the shimmer is too much for me.

I've been using a white eyeshadow pencil and blending it out with concealer but it get a little cakey. I know you can buy just plain white bases, but I can't find them in my country and international shipping is extortion.

This will sound weird , but they nyx eyeshadow base in white,,, or skin tone and just put it to highlight if you blend it and are that fair it won't look weird and it's fine on your skin!

I need advice on contouring dark skin. I want my face to appear more narrow especially in the nose area. I need help I'm new to the whole make- up scene. I just learned how to put on foundation literally!! LOL
