Don't use a bronzer with shimmer or glitter if you're contouring

Bronzers work to give your face a nice, sun-kissed glow. You should apply it with a really light hand, and a big fluffy brush, to the parts of your face that the sun would naturally hit; the tops of your cheekbones, forehead, nose etc. I like the Tarte Park Avenue Princess bronzer, personally :)

I contour with a non shimmery bronzer.

as for bronzed tips too little is so much better then too much. I try to keep the undereye nose n cheeks light and use bronzer round my hairline if that makes sense x

Now when people contour, are you contouring your temples? Like where you would apply bronzer (where the sun is naturally hitting? Because I've seen it both ways. Can you contour cheeks and bronze the temple? Can you contour cheek and then bronze the cheek? Or is it one or the other?

Jocelyn, you can use both bronzer and contour at the same time =) An important thing to remember is that contouring is completely dependent on face shape, so some people don't have to contour their foreheads at all. Basically, the way I understand it, bronzer goes in the same place that a highlighter would, for the same sort of glowy effect, just sunkissed =)

Quick question for some ,Do any of you Ladies actually use the Kevyn Aucoin Sculpting powder Besides Jackie H? The reason I ask this is because as I'm reading these types of threads I notice I constantly see so many recommend his product but yet everyone is repeating the same information and it's Vague versus when someone actually has used a certain product.I can't add more info because the words were already taken out of my mouth lol but Jackie is on point :)
