Sorry I've been MIA this past week in a half. I have been busy with work, I just started my new job at Estée Lauder :)))), and my birthday was last week. But ladies, I'm back!
Today I am going to let all you pretties in on my current favorite contour, blush and highlighter combination. They are actually all MAC Cosmetics and they are seriously amazing! The color pay off of these three products are so ridiculous in a sense that a little goes a LONG way.
The first product in the picture is what I use for my contour. It is actually a blush, but works great as a contour shade. The name of the blush is Blunt.
This works so well as a contour shade because one, its very pigmented, two, it's so easy to blend out, And three, it's the perfect brown shade. It's not too orange or too red and it has a slight grayish tone making it perfect to create those shadows in the hollows of your cheeks! This color is perfect for a wide range of skin tones.
My current favorite blush is Out For Fun by MAC Cosmetics.
This is a newer cream based Lip and Check Colour by MAC. Now you guys, THIS.... is amazingggggggg. I'm telling you this works great on any skin tone. One dab on your brush is just enough for more fair skin tones and it is very "buildible" for all you darker skin tones out there. I just LOVE this product (am I making my point? LOL). But seriously, cream products are starting to take over and I am definitely jumping on the bandwagon. And, I know it looks bright in the pan, but on the skin it's beautiful. I promise you, if you try it out you won't be disappointed.
Now last but not least, my new favorite "highlight" product. I have highlight in quotations because it's not actually a highlighter. It's a cream eyeshadow base by MAC in the shade Pearl.
Now like the last product, this is also a cream product and a little goes a long way. I looks pretty opaque in the pan, but on the skin it creates that perfect "glowy" highlight shade. This product also looks amazing on all skin tones as I've tried it on a couple of different people because I just could't hold in my excitement LOL. It just highlights the cheek bones so perfectly and it blends right into the blush.
In this picture I used both blush and highlight but a different bronzer for my contour. The highlight is on top of the blush and can't you see how perfectly they go hand and hand? I am obsessed! I also put up a tutorial on Contour and Highlighting on my Youtube Channel yesterday and here's the LINK. Check it out, comment and please remember to subscribe!
