Brows and conturing questions

So I've seen a bunch of people doing contouring I get the general idea but what is the best way to? where do I highlight and apply bronzed?
Then I've been toying around with the idea of shading in my brows...best products? best way to do it?
thanks for you're help in advance :)

You apply bronzer on the hollows of your cheeks, your temples and the top of your hair line, and if u want along your jawline. Blush goes right above ur contour on your cheek bones. For brows I love maybelline Define-A-Brow and you just follow the natural shape of your brows

you highlight the areas you want to draw attention to, under your eyes right sbove your lip invthe middle and your chin. rule of thumb is what you want to hide or shape you darken and anything you want to draw attention tobu highlight. as for my eyebrows I use a brown or blk eyeliner then brush it out

You don't necessarily need to use bronzer to contour (if you do, make sure it's a matte bronzer, and that it's not too orangey; otherwise it'll just look like you have an orange stripe down your cheek! IMO, Benefit Hoola is a good one for your skintone.). You can use a foundation or a pressed powder that's a few shades darker than your skintone. You can use a more brown- or taupe-toned blush (e.g., MAC Harmony or NYX Taupe). As noted, you'd apply your contour where you want something to recede (e.g., hollows of cheekbones, jawline, sides of nose, the temples).

Brows... You want a shade that's around the same as your natural brow colour, maybe a smidge lighter. You also don't want something too warm. (For mine, I use MAC Brun e/s or UD Backdoor from their Smoked palette. For yours, I'd recommend something like MAC Omega.) Personally, I start toward the tail because that's where I need the most help, and fill in where I need it with an angled brush. Afterwards, I brush them out with a spooley (you can also use a disposable mascara wand).

If you don't want to use a powder, you can use a pencil (Anastasia have some fantastic ones) or a cream brow corrector (MUFE have some). Similar idea: fill in where you need it, brush brows out. If you want to, after you're done, you can brush some brow gel through your brows so they stay in place. (Clear mascara will do the trick as well.)
