My face is circle shape and I have light-medium skin tone (light medium neutral for tarte)

Any tips for contour products? I like the pencil style way of applying the product!

And I heard bronzer isnt for contouring but people use hoola bronzer for contouring? It even says on the benefit website to be used for contouring. Help clear confusion anyone?

I think eeeeeeeverybody has different view on what and what not to use to contour. Some responded to the threads below about contourn and made good suggests and points. At the end of the day is just about what YOU feel comfortable with useing and what YOU feel makes you beautiful.

I agree with MG. You're going to have the Bronzer-Nazis talking about how you should never use Bronzer for contouring.. but honestly.. as long as its not like orange bronzer I think its fine. The awesome thing about makeup is there are no firm "rules" for everyone. Find someone that you admire on FB and Insta and see what they use! I love my Bahama Mama for contouring. But I've also tried concealer sticks and darker foundations for contouring as well.

If you use bronzer there is a chance if looking muddy. I'm not a "Bronzer-Nazi" Lol.

Lol they say those things because it's true! A bronzer can be used very lightly to give a somewhat contoured look to the face - but if used too heavily it really looks horrible so it's not the best thing to use if you are trying to get that professional contoured look that you see in photos - they usually suggest a cream based product that is a shade or two darker than your skin tone with grey undertones to give that shadow effect - and bronzer usually has a more red/orange tone to give that "burn" effect of sun kissed skin so it doesn't create the shadow well at all - even if if is matte it's usually not the best choice if you are doing some heavy contouring - but to be honest I use it very lightly and think it looks fine on me personally
