FAQs

What is a contour palette used for? Contour palettes include a mix of deeper and lighter shades to sculpt, define and highlight your face. Use darker tones to add shadow and structure to areas like your cheekbones, jawline and forehead, and lighter tones to lift features. It's the secret to a snatched look.

How do I know which contour shade to use? Choose contour shades that are 1–2 tones darker than your natural skin tone with a cool undertone (to mimic natural shadow). The highlighter or brightening shades should be slightly lighter than your foundation. Palettes from NYX or Charlotte Tilbury cater to a range of skin tones.

What tools should I use with my contour palette? Use a contour brush or angled brush for precision when sculpting cheeks and jawlines, and a fluffy brush or sponge to blend edges seamlessly. For cream palettes, opt for synthetic brushes or fingertips. Always blend thoroughly for a natural, lifted effect.
