Though isn’t quite as severe today as it was a couple years ago, subtle face sculpting definitely isn’t going anywhere soon. And if there’s any group of people who have discovered the best contouring products available in the saturated sea of beauty retail, it’s makeup artists.
From sticks to creams to powders to with everything you could possibly need under one mirrored lid, these pros share the most wearable, workable, blendable products they actually keep in their own arsenals. And if you're in search of the perfect foundation and concealer to pair with your contour, don't forget to check out our most recent.
“I currently do not use contour kits because I like to custom-create the contour shades,” noted award-winning makeup artist. She likes to use foundation sticks for contour, and her two favorite brands are Black Opal and Inglot. “Black Opal has a creamy, velvety finish which makes it fairly easy to use; I mark the areas that I would like to contour and blend from there. Inglot's foundation sticks are very heavy duty and matte, so I typically only use those foundation sticks for heavier styles of makeup, like theater or drag.” $10 ( ). “My personal favorite for both my kit and real life is the,” said makeup artist. “The undertone is so important with contour — you need the perfect combination of grey, brown and red — and this is the best that I've found so far. It comes in light, medium and deep, providing natural-looking dimension on just about every skin tone.” Protip from Irwin no matter what product you’re using: “If you want a more subtle looking contour, try marking it out using a cream, lightly blending, and then using over it,” she said.
“This looks a lot more natural than using contour on top of foundation, plus it photographs beautifully.” $44 ( ). Finding the right balance of color to reflectiveness can be hard, but a touch of liquid highlighter that features just a hint of shimmer can deliver blendable, believable illumination that looks dewy, not sparkly. According to makeup artist, (for paler skin tones) and (for darker complexions) are two great picks. 'These formulas mimic your skin's texture so it just looks more believable,' she noted a previous interview with Allure. Nars Copacabana Illuminator and Nars Larguna Liquid Bronzer. Spickard said this is the perfect grab and go, throw-in-your-purse palette. “Both the bronzer and the highlight are luminescent to give you the gorgeous all-over glow,” he said.
“You can use the bronzer as a bronzer and as a contour shade. Also, this product works on all skin tones. If you're a deeper shade, you can blend the two together to create a custom highlight shade, which works beautifully.” O’Brien concurred, “The texture of these powders are so lovely, and they keep your skin looking luminous even though you’re wearing powder.' “My go-to contour kit is the, a powder-based product that glides on the skin effortlessly.
What I love about it is that it doesn’t give the typical, powdery and cakey look that many get when contouring,” said makeup artist. “It’s understandable that people associate quality with a higher price point — however, this product debunks that myth. While I do typically tend to mix and match high-end and drugstore options, I like to use whatever works best for the looks I am trying to achieve, and NYX Contouring Pro Palette is just that when I’m contouring.” Now that's an endorsement. The Research Council of Makeup Artists (RCMA) is a professional-grade cosmetics brand, said Spickard, who’s a big fan of their Highlight and Contour Palette. He explained that they are super pigmented at 50 percent — which is higher than the typical 18- to 35-percent pigmentation — so a little goes a long way. “You can also sheer them down with moisturizer or oil to create a lighter coverage.
With this palette, I can blend together a custom shade that works for almost anyone and, because it is castor seed oil based, it goes on so creamy and blends in like a second skin.” $30 ( ).
