#ELF CONTOUR PALETTE LIGHT SKIN#

If you are a newbie or not yet confident in your contouring abilities, start with a powder formula. Some people prefer powders because they are a bit more forgiving than cream versions, and are easier to blend and build for more subtle contouring. The powder will help to mask shiny areas on your face.

Those with oily skin or who prefer a very matte finish will want to stick to powder palettes. Sponge-tipped brushes give users the familiar feel of a traditional makeup brush, but the attached sponge glides the cream on easily - no need to learn any intimidating specialty techniques. Hand-held sponges work especially well for targeted reach, such as lining the sides of the nose near the small creases of the nostrils. Rice powder blotters are ideal for instantly removing perspiration without wiping away your color or ruining the contour placement.Īpplying cream-based contour palette shades most often calls for the use of a specialty sponge like the Beauty Blender, a sponge-tipped applicator. If you still prefer cream in such a climate, set your contouring palette makeup well with powder or setting spray, and touch up regularly. When you perspire, makeup can bead and meld your contour and highlight shades together, creating a mishmash of mixed colors. If you live in a hot, humid climate, cream contour palettes may not be the best choice.

They also tend to wear off more quickly than powders.

However, creams can go on heavy and are often harder to blend to achieve a natural look. If you like to apply your make-up with a sponge-brush or beauty blender, you may want to try a cream version first. If you have dry skin, a cream formula will help keep your skin supple and flake-free. And, make no mistake - when it comes to using contour palettes, blending is pivotal. Some find cream contour products easier to blend others find the texture too thick to blend well. Which one is right for you is a matter your skin type and personal preference.
