[babyjan]

There's loads of YouTube videos and mua instragram pages that post highlighting & contouring tutorials, let me see what I can find

They'll probably be some contouring face charts floating about online, they're helpful as it'll guide you where to put everything

What products do people use? X

I use a MAC blush in a beige colour. Think it's called Stay With Me. Only use the expensive brand because I can't find the right shade anywhere else due to my insanely pale skin. For the brush I just have a cheap H&M one.

Have you seen NYX Blush in Taupe? So many pale girls rave about it because it's such a cool toned colour I really want to get it once winter hits again.

I'd love to be able to do it. I'm scared I'd be too heavy handed and look like this

This is exactly how I think I'll look, topped with pink hair I don't think it's worth me trying!

I love So Sue Me on youtube her tutorials are fantastic. https://youtu.be/u00es8oxeVY
I use the Crown brush concealer palette https://www.crownbrush.co.uk/10-con.html and also the sleek contouring palette just like sue does in the video. Xx

If you're worried about harsh lines and blending then just use your foundation brush that you used to apply your foundation with, it'll have some left over foundation on just lightly buff it over your face to help blend

Well I had another go last night before I went out and it looked okay. I probably could of put a bit more on but was scared of looking ridiculous lol.

This was the finished result, my friend seemed very impressed with it
