Contouring products for pale skin?

Hi all

I am after a contouring product for my very pale skin (think Nicola Roberts, Girls Aloud pale) although I am blonde if that helps.

I am not near a Bobbi Brown, MAC or Dainty Doll Counter, so would need to find something (hopefully) in Boots or Superdrug. Any recommendations?

I'm really pale and I just use Benefit Hoola which looks really dark but then I use a buffing brush and it fades to a really nice colour.

I will keep an eye on this thread though as I'm nearly out.

Thanks Fractured. Will have a look at that.

Try the No7 Mosaic bronzer or possibly the intelligent colour bronzer (although I find on very pale it can still be slightly darkish) I am also very pale and find the mosaic bronzer used with a light touch just right. :)

Hoola is scarily dark when I first put it on. It's the buffing brush that is magic Grin

Have you had a look at the 'Light' contouring kit from Sleek? It gets good reviews on MakeUp Alley.

I am Irish pale and use this E.L.F. contour kit

It looks dark in the packaging but has a lovely subtle colour and matt finish when buffed.

Agree that Benefit Hoola would also be good.

Thanks all for your recommendations. Will have a look around tomorrow.

The Sleek face kit is great. Illamasqua's 'Hollow' is brilliant too but more expensive.

Chanel Les Beiges in #20 is amazing. I'm so pale but this contours brilliantly and perks my entire face up. The Body Shop honey bronzer in shade #1 is also great. No shimmer or muddiness. Smile
