Apply a Cream Contour Before Applying Foundation
If you’re prone to overdoing it with the contour, or find that it often just doesn’t blend over the top of your foundation, try using a cream or liquid contouring product and apply it prior to your foundation. Blend it into the skin and then apply a light layer of foundation over the top. This will help to soften the colour, give a more seamless finish and ensure that the colour better suits your skintone, removing any overly warm or overly cool tones.

Use a Sheer Product
Contouring creams and powders can often be very heavily pigmented and therefore very easy to make a mess of. Using a product that is sheer and easily blendable (like a gel) can be a fantastic option for beginners or those not overly confident with contouring. A sheer formula with less pigment will blend easier into the skin, ultimately looking more natural and making for much easier blending! For absolute ease choose a contour stick which can be applied directly onto the skin and then blended with a brush or your fingertips.
