^I have a cool matte brown eyeshadow that's a medium to dark color
Can I use it to contour? I've looked everywhere in my town for a contour powder since I don't wear foundation and I couldnt find any ( the nyx section in all of the drugstores don't have any contour powder an the rest are just bronzers)

Yes! I actually find them the easiest to work with unlike creams and contour powders etc.
If you're going to get a NYX eyeshadow to be used for contouring, get the Taupe because that is a dark neutral perfect for the illusion of a shadow.
I hope that helps :)

Yes, just be light-handed because shadows tend to be more pigmented than actual contour powders.

Yes but I find it harder to blend.

If it's all you have and you want to try it out by all means try it but I don't recommend it because it's different from all these so called same finish products.The best thing is using a foundation or pan stick when need be at the time.However when you get a chance to purchase a contour sculpting kit you'll see the difference it's the appearance of the finish that you'll notice it's a technique that many may not understand there is a way to handle it and make it work it's not blush or bronze it's another level of application.You should not be able to see it and be sure to add the extras to help achieve the look which is blush. :)
