PICK THE RIGHT SHADE

The pros agree that the biggest key to contouring success is the shade you choose.

For those with lighter complexions, Larry recommends a foundation shade or contour with a taupe mauve wash. The best shade for those with light to medium skin tones is a neutral taupe with a hint of grey. Olive complexions can opt for a deeper, warmer shade to create depth. “Rich, deeper skin tones might not need sculpting. Instead, incorporate a lighter foundation to highlight and accentuate the features,” he adds.
