I would like to start contouring and have seen many make-up videos on this, but I don't know where to find Contouring make up from?

I'm looking for a medium brown colour.

I'm not sure if contour makeup is the same as bronzers or blushers, so any advice?

Thanks in advance.

Sleek do contour kits and you should be able to get it from Superdrug, depending on if your local Superdrug sells Sleek. I've never tried it, so I can't really comment on how it is!

I just use a bronzer to contour with contouring is basically making certain areas appear more slimmer or defined, so you can do it with a bronzer, possibly a blush.

I looked at the sleek kit online, but im not sure if it'll be in stores

Do you think this would work for contour? or is it too shiny

I just use the Bourjois Chocolate Bronzer, I'm not sure what shade I picked though!

I would think any bronzer would work, as long as it's not really shimmery

Thank you. I'm gonna go superdrugs and take a look at a few products

Sleek contour kit is amazing but any matte bronzer would work too-ELF cool bronzer is good for a cheap option. Mac do some good blush colours which can be used to contour but it'd depend on skin tone so you might need to have a look in store.
I sometimes use a concealer a few shades too dark to contour as well but I'm super pale so finding one was pretty easy.

I don't see why the sleek contour kit wouldn't be in store, some shades might be out of stock but somewhere will have it.

The MUA bronzer is really shimmery btw so I'd avoid that.

I use a stila matte bronzer and it is perfect! The sleek contour kits are very good everybody raves about them, they also include a highlight. If you dont have this then use a browny shade of blusher, heard that NYX taupe is very good!

Why the angry face?
I didnt know they had stila products in there, I'll take a look next time I go. Thank you

Meant to have clicked the smiley one instead! My mistake sorry! Yeah in Tkmaxx they have lots of higher brands like essie, stila and bed head all reduced!

I use benefit hoola for contoring but would agree that sleek is a good one as it also has a highlighter. Works well with a contoring brush which most brands do.

The products from benefit that I have seen have been too light for my skin.
Even products in superdrug etc are too light, Im Pakistani, but not dark, but idk they dont cater for brown skin...

Hoola is a matte bronzer which comes out fairly dark. I would look at brands that cater to dark skin like Mac, Fashion Fair, sleek and Bobbi brown.

I know nars do bronzers which are good for contouring they are called laguna and I think casino. Its best to use something matte as shimmer doesn't quite have the same affect. NARS is quite pricey but if you were interested check out buyapowa.com where they sell it cheaper from time to time or you can request.

It would be advisable to go around and have a play with the colours. Don't forget to brink wet wipes!!

Ive heard Mac do some, but I cant afford that yet.
Sleek, I like the one online, but i'll take a look see if its in my TKMaxx store.
Havent heard of Fashion Fair, will check it out tonight.
Bobbi Brown dont do sculpting powders/contour powder.

Some dark colours ive seen in boots/superdrugs have been shimmery (bronzing powders) which are a complete no-no.

Thanks I'll check out the above. Been sooo helpful

You're welcome. With regards to BB not doing contouring etc don't specifically look for this name. Go for matte bronzers as this is the same thing.

I went in for a skin consultation and product testing. They didnt have a matt bronzer type product either.
