I'm extremely pale and I was wondering if I could still contour with such light skin as I have? I don't want it to look like I have dark streaks on my face lol would there be contouring products for my fair skin?

Yes. you may like the Anastasia contour kit (which is usually sold out) or you can visit ulta, sephora or MAC to purchase and YouTube have great tutorials.

Yes but with a warm and light colour so it will give you such a warmth x

I respectfully disagree with Tamara, to get a nice, chiseled contour you need a cool toned color, because contouring is mimmicking a shadow and a shadow is by nature cool toned. Do not use a bronzer. Why not a bronzer?
1. Bronzers often have shimmer in them, which reflects light and rings attention toward what you want to recede.
2. Bronzers are warm toned, when you contour, you replicate a shadow, which by nature is cool toned.
3. Even if you found a bronzer that is matte and cool toned, they are sheer, and you would have to build the coverage. Making your face look muddy.

Anyways my cool toned hg products for pale skin contouring are nyx blush in taupe and Urban Decay eyeshadow in naked.

The Anastasia contour kit will be available at sephora stores JUNE 12, it will be a one time shipment so make sure you get your hands on it (if you want one) before it sells out.. Also first come first serve, they will not be putting these on hold!

I completely agree with everything. maggy already wrote!!
I am too extremely pale, so I already tried pretty much ( bronzer, make up a shade darker, different blushes in nudish versions) and it didn't look quite right.

so what I do now is taking a greyish taupe eyshadow for contouring and a white one for highlighting. the only important thing is to also use blush ( which is supposef to go ontop of your cheekbones) otherwise I might look washed out.
