So I've been using contour kits and I've always loved the way it looked.

Sorry I didn't mean to press it lol, my contour is a little too dark for me because I've lost my tan and at the moment I can't afford anything pricey , I've seen people use nyxs taupe as a contour is that ok?

That's a blush, right? It might work, it all depends on you. Sometimes you just need to work with what you've got, right? You could also try a darker concealer, I've heard the L'oreal True Match Lumi concealer is good for that also.

Yeah I heard its good for incredibly pale people and when I don't have a tan I'm super pale. But I'll also try that too thanks hannah! :)

I prefer darker contours I feel they blend out better.

I put a deep layer on after my foundation then buff it out with my setting powder and if I need to touch it up with either the same shade or a lighter shade- it gives the appearance of depth. Maybe play with what you have before trying something new?

But flower beauty has a blush/"bronzer" duo and I find the "bronzer" shade is actually perfect for contouring- I don't usually promote that but they are taupey browns and don't give an orange cast and it's drugstore!

Nyx has a contour powder ☺
It doesn't come out as dark as it looks, and I'm sure you can build it up if you need it to be darker.

I typically using a buffing brush with a lighter powder to lighten my contouring...you get to use the same stuff you have and lighten it up :)

One of the girls I work with uses nyx taupe as a contour color and it looks so good with her skin but on me it didn't look as good as darker concealers in my opinion at least.
