What products do you use to contour and how do you contour? I have a $50 Ulta gift card so if it could be in the budget that'd be great :)

I use benefits hoola bronzer, and apply it with a light hand because I'm so pale :) it's basically matte, so it looks quite natural and not at all orange so it's more of a contour powder for me than a bronzer. Alternatively, a matte face powder one or two shades darker than your skin could work. I use an angled contour brush for in the hollows of my cheeks (make a fishy face), on my temples and under my jawline. For contouring round your nose etc, use a smaller fluffy brush and start off with a little product (you can add more if you need to) and just contour the parts you want to recede. Using a highlighter would work well too. This may not be very helpful, sorry, but Michelle Phan on YouTube has a tutorial on contouring :)

Do NOT use a bronzer - seriously!! Unless you want to look like something snooki. Shadows are greyish, not orange I don't care how matte it is don't make that mistake!! lol Bronzers are meant for AFTER contouring and are meant to add warmth to the face! You'll look awkward as heck under direct light and the sun.
I recommend you YouTube Wayne Goss, he will teach you how to contour according to your nose shape and how to properly contour. To contour your best bet is getting a sculpting kit. You can ask one of the ladies at Ulta if they have a sculpting kit that you can purchase. Nyx also has a contour powder which works beautifully.
If no sculpting kits are available, you can try a concealer palette or a regular concealer. the best concealer to use would be a cream stick form. If your local ulta has drug store products, I would get L'oreal True Match as it blends beautifully for contouring. The best person to ask is Jacqueline H. on here. She is a professional MUA and will give you the best advice on what products to use ☺

Well, neither are available at ulta, but they're so inexpensive, you'll be able to budget it. The NYC smooth skin bronzing face powder is 2.89 at target, it's completely matte, and looks nice on light-medium skin tones. I also love the elf contouring blush and bronzer palette three dollars also at target, and it's fantastic if you are looking for a slightly more intensely pigmented product. I also really like the blush! The bronzer is a satin finish, but it actually looks very natural on many skin tones. If your a bit more fair, just use a light hand. Sorry I don't have a product available at ulta, but I've had so much success with these products I never thought that it was necessary to buy benefits hoola! Maybe another box powder, because blush helps make the contour look a bit more natural, especially if it has a slightly satiny finish because it will highlight your cheek bones:)
