I never know how to contour or use blush on my face without looking dumb. And what is the best makeup that covers up your freckles? Ahhh!

How to contour:
Contouring is shaping the face into an oval because it's considered the prefect face shape. You can also use contouring to slim certain features. To contour your suppose to use a contour kit/palette with the contour color being a grey cool tone color. Using a bronzer is not the best option since it can make you look muddy. The contour color should be 1-3 shades darker than your foundation with ideally the same undertone as well as your highlight color should be 1-3 shades lighter than your foundation color with the same undertone. Contouring means to detract light and attention, to silhouette. Whereas to highlight means to bring forward and draw attention to. This guide can help with the placement of the contour and highlight.

You'll most likely need a medium or full coverage foundation to cover them depending on how dark they are. Cover fx, derma blend, Estée Lauder maximum coverage. (You also should consider what skin type you have while looking for a med-full coverage foundation.)

I usually just put blush on and slightly below my cheek bone and use a clean powder brush to blend it out. Blush is usually placed according to your face shape though.

To cover up freckles just try a full coverage foundation :) but I think freckles look really cute! :) and here's another way to countour/ highlight :) and for blush I would just dust a little bit of it on the apples of your cheeks 😊😃

I'm not sure if you have it where you are but my favourite product for covering freckles is the Australis pressed powder, literally the best coverage in a powder I've ever found.

To cover my freckles I use Estee Lauder Double wear Maximum cover camouflage makeup in the Blue tube and as a back up I also use Cover FX. Blush alone can enhance cheek structure not everyone needs a contour sculpting powder if you already have a define bone structure. If you would like a contoured look it's best to go with a sculpting powder but if not handy you could use a cream stick or foundation to help contour don't go pass two shades darker because the purpose of the finish is a smooth illusion of structure flawless finish of no harsh lines (blending is key) but I do assure you that once you have a sculpting powder and compare it to anything else you will see the difference.Hope this helps :)
