NYX Powder Blush, Terra Cotta

When it comes to contouring, you wanna go for a tone that is less "warm" and more "cool". NYX has this great Taupe color that's more gray than orange, its really a cooler tone. Contouring is almost like creating a nice shadow in your face, a shadow that improves your aspect. And shadows are not orange, that's why I don't like using bronzers for contouring. Especially for me, I have very fair/pale skin. For me, NYX blush (taupe color) is the best for that objective. Its very neutral and it really works amazingly as a contouring.

I bought this after hearing all the hype and it is everything I hoped it would be. Most other bronzer and contour colors are too harsh or make my face look dirty. This color is the perfect color for cool or neutral skin tones. The small amount of warmth to the color is perfect. Sometimes a think film can develop on these colors but those can be easily removed by scratching the surface or complete avoided by turning the whole cake in to powder by crushing it in a baggie and using like a powder bronzer.
