What products do you use to contour and highlight? I would rather use liquid instead of powders... Also what color should I get for very fair skin (usually I am the lightest color of foundation they make). Thanks :)

As a highlight I tried using bare minerals well rested pen and I dab it on over my blush. I really want to try the MAC soft and gentle pen as a hightlighter now. stila also has a very nice highlight with a sparkle in it

Finding a highlighter for extremely fair skin can be a challenge although I'm sure you can find a product. So you may just want to try a foundation 2-3 shades darker than your skintone as a contour. When you use a contour, you will automatically be highlighting the un-contoured areas.

Liquids are good but I have the crown brush concealer palette and it's amazing. You don't have to use this one but I'd recommend anything cream based for the contouring. For contour I use a colour a lot darker than my own skin tone, and then the highlight is a lot lighter than my normal colour :)

For highlighter try the balm Mary louminizer. I'm pale too and I think it looks great
