Bloody hell I've got cheekbones!!

Tried a few different contouring powders in an attempt to achieve cheekbones but they always look too brown/orange on me due to being very pale.

Read about NYX blush in "Taupe". PERFECT colour. Effortless, subtle but effective. Also shaded under chins and round jawline. Look half a stone lighter. Very pleased Grin

If you're too pale for most other shades I highly recommend it!

Ooh v interested in this! I've been reading abut contouring too. It's not something I've ever tried but it looks like it makes a massive difference.

I've been trying to find the Sleek contouring kit but can't find it anywhere local. Where did you find the NYX?

Just googled it and it looks very similar to MAC Harmony which is what I'm currently using to contour.

Makes a huge difference to my fat round face!

Amazon.co.uk in beauty do some NYX - pretty sure they do the taupe blusher.

Ooh you're brave doing contouring! Is NYX available from superdrug?

Tell me about contouring? What do you do?

BunnyLebowski · 16/01/2014 10:32

It's really not that big a deal.

You use a subtle, few shades darker than your foundation (not shimmery bronzer), product to shade under your cheekbones to make your cheekbones look more prominent and therefore your face slimmer.

You can also contour your chin and temples but ain't nobody got time for that.

Ive just ordered from Amazon! I'll try anything to prove i have cheekbones somewhere!

TinyDiamond · 17/01/2014 21:54
