5 Favorite Contouring Products


NARS Laguna Bronzer - This is a cult favorite in the beauty community. Everyone raves about it, and for good reason. Laguna is the perfect in-between bronzer that you can use to bronze and contour.  While it's a little pricey, the fact that it's multi-use makes it worth it (I also find that its a great crease color!) I love the big mirror that it comes with and NARS packaging is gorgeous.

Sephora Bronzer in Los Cabos - This a great dupe for Laguna, and about half the price. This is my go to bronzer, for both contouring and bronzing. I love that it's inexpensive and amazing quality. Sephora brand products are often over looked and it's a shame. This bronzer is definitely holy grail and if you've been wanting to try Laguna but don't want to splurge, try this one out first. 

Brow Bar To-Go - You may be wondering why a brow product is in this category; it's because a powder is a powder. You can use any powder for whatever part of your makeup routine you want, regardless of what the label says. This tiny compact is the perfect ashy brown for contouring, for filling in your brows, and for adding dimension to the crease. Plus it's tiny size makes it perfect for travel!

Benefit Hoola Bronzer - This is another cult favorite. It's a bit lighter than the NARS Laguna bronzer, but it's a perfect contour color for light to medium skin tones. The packaging is really convenient in the sense that it comes with a brush and a mirror (although it is a little bulky). It takes me forever to hit pan on this product, which always make me feel like my money was well spent. 

L'Oreal True Match Powder in Cocoa - A lot of times you can't afford to spend $20 or $30 on a contour product, and this is a perfect drug store alternative that is totally budget friendly. The True Match powders are all very blendable and they have a wide range of colors. This is super helpful when you're trying to find your perfect contour shade. I am a huge fan of L'Oreal products and this one is no exception.
