In this clip, I want to talk about the difference between cream contour colors, and the powder
contour colors. Creams are going to give you a dewy look, instead of a powder, which is
going to give you a more matte finish. You want to avoid using a cream on top of a powder
foundation, because it's going to make you look really muddy, and it's going to be harder
to blend in the edges. So, use it on top of a foundation, then set it with a powder afterwards.
Creams are better for people with dry skin because the products are more emollient so,
it's going to blend in to your skin better, and it's going to sit on your skin better,
instead of a powder on top of dry skin. It's going to really stand out, and bring out the
dry areas on your skin. Powders are great for a softer contour. You can use a shade
darker than your own skin, or you can use something like a bronzer, to really hollow
out those areas underneath your cheek bone, or contour the sides of your nose. Use the
highlight on top of your cheekbone to really bring out the shape of your face. So, powders
are really great for a softer contour. You can just dust it over your makeup after it's
already complete. Just throw that highlight color on top of your cheekbones and the bronzer
underneath your cheekbone. And, then you're ready to go. When you use a powder contour,
you want to really make sure that you've already set your foundation with a powder, otherwise
it will stick to certain areas and it will look a little more blotchy and un-blended.
So, that's the difference between cream and powder contours.
