Dynamic contouring duos from Stila, Make Up For Ever and Marc Jacobs!

Contouring is still the big thing and with all the kits out there with multiple shades, you might still be at a total loss on how to do it. 6 shades are overwhelming but 2 shades make it easy-peasy - Just apply the highlighter shade to areas where light is naturally reflected - such as the cheek bones, cupid's bow and directly under the brow; then apply the contour shade to areas you want to shape and define - under the cheek bone, jaw line and across the hair line for example - and you are done and done!

Make Up For Ever Pro Sculpting Duo - $45 - available in 2 shade duos: #1 Pink Beige - light with cool undertones for fair to medium skin and #2 Golden - tan with warm undertones for medium deep to deep skin - that offer the art of light and shadow for easy, natural, and traceless highlighting and contouring with a weightless, talc-free, gel-powder formula that is unbelievably natural and blends seamlessly into skin and instantly transforms facial features for a more balanced and proportionate face shape.

Available now exclusively at Sephora and sephora.ca.

Stila Shape & Shade Custom Contour Duo - $52 - in Light, Medium and Deep - with a sheer, long-wearing cream-to-matte formula that delivers buildable coverage that blends perfectly, these contouring and highlighting duos accentuate your features by sculpting and shaping. Infused with high-performance technology pigments that are uniquely coated to ensure ultimate wear, higher colour payoff, and softer texture line-filling properties to instantly blur imperfections, leaving the skin looking smooth and defined.
