It’s no secret that I love to highlight and contour. I enjoy the precess because I can achieve a slimmer, healthier look overall. I love that I can bring back color to my face, especially now during winter that my skin tone is a shade lighter than it regularly is. I also included in this post all the dupes to some of my higher end products. I always alternate between brands because I’m a firm believer that you can recreate any look no matter what your budget is. Just go out there and have fun! Enjoy my tutorial!

wow, an amazing transformation! contouring and highlighting really does make a difference, your face looks flawless as usual!
I’ve seen you using the Ben Nye powder in a few of your tutorials and was wondering where I would be able to find some of that to use for myself? I love your videos and take your advice often. Its super helpful and all the clothes you wear are adorable.
I love this post!!! the concealer from sheer cover is my favourite one!!! <3
I’m so trying the colorstay concealer.

Since i have sensitive skin i love using airspun for setting my make up or even to put on to control oil. its a great inexpensive find.

I saw a sponge similar to beauty blender the other day at H&M for 3,95€!
So it could be dupe as well 
How do you choose the right color foundation? I don’t wear makeup often, because I have thrown upwards of $100 on bottles/powders and I always look too light in photos, or even just in the sun.
Where did you get the Ben ney banana powder????
Is the MAC 163 brush still available? I cannot find it.

I think I might try contouring now… Your before and after pictures convinced me!
Can u swatch the products u use side by side? Sometimes it doesnt look alike when their swatch. Ty
Your video was so helpful! I try to contour and highlight but it never looks as good as it should. This has definitely helped me out a lot. Thank you.

More affordable & Nice products!
Saludos!

What are you wearing on your lips in the “after” photo (not the light pink lip in the video). It’s absolutely perfect!
If anyone knows where I can find a post where she explains how she gets that impossibly hot pink lip, please let me know.
Contouring is a great application and you did it beautifully! Great Tutorial & beautiful blog. Your heart is in the right place and it shows…
The way you present the products use in the tutorial in this post with the dupes is just brilliant!
