Favorite Contouring and Highlighting Products of Makeup Artists

Favorite Contouring and Highlighting Products of Makeup Artist

I asked and they shared! Here are the Favorite Contouring and Highlighting Products of Makeup Artists!

“I really like using Bobbi Brown’s bronzer (1) to contour with. It isn’t too orange, and is perfect for contouring.”
Brianna Gonzalez, also blogs at Briksia

“When contouring the cheeks I tend to gravitate towards big paddle brushes or fan brushes. My very favorite is the It Cosmetics Heavenly Luxe Fan Brush (review, 2).”
Laura, blogs at My Newest Addiction, and she is available as a makeup artist

Benefit’s Hoola bronzer (3) works well for almost every skin tone and surprisingly, the included brush works well for sweeping the initial color under your cheek bones as long as you blend it out with another brush afterwards. I love highlighters right now and one of my favorites is NARS Highlighting Blush in Albatross (4). A great duo would be LORAC TANtalizer Highlighter & Matte Bronzer Duo (5).”
Ivy Boyd blogs at Wake Up For Makeup

“IT cosmetics makes an amazing highlighting and contour palette (CC+ Radiance Palette) (6).”
Christina Farrell also blogs at The Makeup Blogger

Tom Ford’s Highlight and Shader Duo (7) is the best for both pros and everyday people. It is so natural and easy to blend, I love using this to create a new face.”
Dimitri James founder of Skinn Cosmetics

“My favorite foundation to contour with is Cover FX Total Cover Cream Foundation (8). I discovered it during my trip to Sephora.”
Meg Raiano

“I love Senna’s Face sculpting kit (9). It was originally developed for the cast of Desperate Housewives and it’s basically all you need in order to contour and highlight. I also use Kevyn Aucoin’s Sculpting Powder (11) and Tom Ford’s Highlight and Shader Duo (7).”
Lindsey Rivera

“Bobbi Brown makes a great stick foundation that is easy to contour and highlight with (10).”
