Contour Du Jour, I'm a Poet and I didn't Know It 6.17.09

I love to contour my face when I have more than 5 minutes to get ready. This blush from MAC in Taupe is a great shade to contour with. With my skin tone I need an ashy grey brown to mimic the natural shadows of my face. I usually find a lot of "contour powders" to run too warm for me. A dupe of this color would be MAC's blush in EMOTE. Anyway, I found this at a CCO for $10.75.

I think nothing is better than a good contour powder to bring your cheek bones from non-existent to POW.

Do any of you contour? Would you like to see a picture tutorial of how I contour or have you seen enough??

  13. Olicia- Contouring is used to make your cheekbones more prominent or to slim a rounder face.

  20. I've heard on MakeupGeekTV that NYX Taupe blusher is a good dupe for MAC Emote, so myabe also for MAC Taupe? I have the NYX one and it's great for contouring, it also has that greyish undertone that looks like natural shadow on the face. Tutorial - yes please! xoxo
