#ANASTASIA CONTOUR POWDER KIT TUTORIAL HOW TO#

There really is a contour and highlight shade for every single person out there. We have seen tons of contouring palettes over the years but we have to say Anastasia Beverly Hills have pulled out all the stops with their new contour palette. Think of the natural greyish/taupe's that a real shadow would create. On a medium, olive or darker skin tone you can get away with using a warm contour colour however if you are lighter skinned you need to go for a more ashy tone. It's totally dependant on your natural skin tone which shades you need to use but the colours to go for are not what you may think. It's common for people to contour with their bronzer which usually ends up looking too warm or orange. Product placement is usually around the correct area of the face but it's the colour tones selected that let the look down. They are often wearing this look when they are on stage performing under bright lights on a stage which is a good 10ft away from the closest eye.ДЇor normal daylight and close up this look when done incorrectly can look awful. Also these girls (with the exception of KimK) probably don't go down to the supermarket with full contour on either. Often pictures in magazines are air brushed and edited to give an image of perfection. What we can sometimes forget is that the celebrity images we see are not always real.

Well the answer is yes it can but not to the extremes that we see in the media. Yes they look fabulous but does this really translate into an everyday makeup for everyone else. We have all seen the images of Kim Kardashian, Beyonce etc with the stripes of contour and highlighting colours.
