Products for contouring might seem overly complicated or even intimidating to work with since you can easily go overboard, but it shouldn’t be that way! Contouring is a really subtle yet sexy way to enhance and slim your features, so I firmly believe it’s something everyone should try at least once. These days, you won’t catch most top models or celebs who go without some sort of contouring, so instead of admiring their makeup artist’s handiwork, pick of one of these cool products for contouring and bring out your best!

1. Make up for Ever Sculpting Kit
Make Up For Ever’s new Sculpting Kit contains the perfect products for contouring and highlighting in one simple compact. You’ve got your matte contour on one side and a highlighting powder on the other so you can sculpt your features with the greatest of ease. Both powders, which come in four different shade combos, are silky-smooth and fine-milled so they go on looking nothing but natural. Available at Sephora for $48.
2. Em Cosmetics Chiaroscuro Contour and Highlighter Stick
Em’s Chiaroscuro makes contouring, sculpting and balancing your facial features effortless and quick. The cream formula makes it easy to blend onto skin and you can easily throw this stick in your bag for quick touch-ups whenever you want or need it. Available in four different shades for fair, light, medium and deep skin tones, you can find it at EmCosmetics.com for $24.
3. Tarte the Sculptor Contouring Face Slenderizer
This is one of the newer contouring products on the market right now and while I love the idea of a creamy contouring pencil, it looks like some users have mixed feelings about it. There’s only one shade available at the moment and the biggest gripe appeared to be that it looked orange on certain skin tones. With that it mind, make sure you try it before you buy it! Other than that, users raved about how beautifully it blends and how easy it makes the task of contouring. Available at Sephora for $24.
4. Becca Shadow & Light Bronze/ Contour Perfector
For those who shy away from facial contouring products because they’re terrified of even a hint of orange on their skin, Becca’s Shadow & Light Bronze/Contour Perfector has got you covered. What makes this powder different than your average is that it contains contrasting black and white gold undertones, so you walk away looking beautifully bronzed and never muddy. Available at Sephora for $40.
5. LORAC Tantalizer Highlighter & Matte Bronzer Duo
Lorac’s Tantalizer line has just about everything you need to get your glow on, and their Highlighter & Matte Bronzer duo makes creating shadows and adding light to your complexion super easy and glam. Plus, it’s formulated without talc, oil or a fragrance so it works well with all skin types. Lorac creator Carol Shaw says you’re your own plastic surgeon with this product! Available at Ulta for $32.
6. Kat Von D Everlasting Bronzer
I don’t know how you ladies feel about contouring products that contain shimmer, but this is a pretty popular product that appears to go on fairly matte for the most part. Kat Von D’s Everlasting Bronzer was designed to last up to 24 hours without budging so you stay party perfect way after the party has ended. Choose from two tempting shades that leave a luminous glow. Available at Sephora for $36.
7. NARS Contour Blush
NARS knows blush so I didn’t expect anything but the best in bronzers from them. Their Contour Blush compact contains two sculpting shades to seamlessly create a defined look without any excess shine or shimmer. Their smooth-as-silk formula contains jojoba, silica beads and polymer for easy blending, contouring and highlighting. Available at Sephora for $42.
