So I would love to contour my face, but I have heard many people say I would look "muddy" since I am very fair. what are your opinions? and if you think it would look fine what kind of products and brushes should I use?

I actually saw a video on YouTube. she wasn't fair but had good and easy way to contour the face. her name is Jacyln hill I think. Also with contouring you need an angled brush that's meant for contouring. along with that you need a cream based foundation that is 2 shades dark than your regular foundation. The video I am referring you to..she uses cream foundation by MAC I think to contour.

To contour you can use concealer or foundation 2 shades darker, any cool toned powder, or a contour kit. I've heard the best so far to use if your really fair is this blush by nyx in taupe. I think you would need to practice to get the contoured look you want to achieve but I don't think its impossible. Good luck and I hope this helped :)!

Hey thanks Lynzie! I am just glad to hear other people's opinions since I was told that contouring would not work for me.

I'm quite fair and I use either a darker Concealer that is cool toned or a very light hand on normal contour powders. just blend it and it will look fine!
