I understand the need for the cheekbone and nose contouring. What is the reason for the contouring of the forehead?

Thanks, Angie! Do you have a preference for the powder contour/highlight or the cream contour/highlight? Do you ever notice the creams settling into wrinkles or pores? I’m still on the quest for my hg foundation, so settling is always on my mind (and frequently on my face!).

Hi Angie!
Thanks for the great tutorials! I saw both of your contouring tutorials and I am a bit confused — I was eyeing the NYX 3-color contouring palette you used in the 1st tutorial, but I would have never thought to use it under foundation, I thought it was meant to go on top of it? Is it because it’s cream contour?
I like the method in the other tutorial (contouring after foundation) better, but the Anasasia palette is a bit too pricey for me at this point. From what I understand, I cannot use the 3-pan NYX contouring palette, I have to use the NYX 6-pan contouring palette because of the powder texture, is that correct? Or can I use either on top of foundation?

Thanks!
Caroline

  You can use either on top of makeup… just be sure to blend, blend, blend!

Hi Angie
Thanks for the very informative video. Just wondering how you know all of this stuff, are your formerly trained in makeup application? I am the same age as you but I have no idea how to do contouring etc.
Thank you for your videos they are really interesting and you are so honest which is refreshing!
Regards
Diane

Hi Angie,

Great tutorial as usual. Nyx also has a powder contouring palette. Could this be used in the same way?
