So I've seen this several times today and I'm soo confused😳 I get that bronzer goes on the parts of the face where sunlights hits you and contouring does kinda the opposite to emphasize shadows. But honestly what's the difference between using your bronzer powder to contour than using an actual contour product? LOL I probably sound ridiculous but in my mind they're both dark brown powder I see no difference.

The orange/warm one is the Anastasia Beverly Hills bronzer in Sun Bronzed. The cooler true brown is a sculpting powder is Make Up For Ever in the 2 shade. They are heavy swatches to show the difference in color, therefore the different effect they have on your face :)

I've used lipstick as shadows before haha it went ok but definitely extra steps for those with oily lids. As far as using bronzer as a contour it can end up looking too makeupy. Haha too artificial especially when it looks like there are two snicker bars on the sides of the cheeks. I don't like bronzers for contouring because they're too warm toned and when you're contouring you're trying to mimic a shadow. Like when you suck in your cheeks you see the contours and how they're shadows. Shadows are a grey color not orange- brown. And when it comes to contouring it can end up just looking orange and it's very noticeable especially if you contour the nose.
