How To Use Kim K's Favorite Contouring Kits
When the queen of contouring makes beauty recommendations, you take notice. Kim Kardashian picked her favorite contouring kits on her site, but there was one thing missing — she didn't tell her fans how to use them! Thankfully, Internet is a great resource for step-by-step videos showing you exactly how to contour your face using these products. With the pros by your side, you'll have this makeup trick figured out in no time.
While Kylie Jenner was busy planning the launch of her new Lip Kits, Kardashian decided to stick to what she knows — contouring. Whether you're just a beginner or you're already an expert, her makeup picks are perfect for any beauty enthusiast. If Kardashian is saying they are her favorites, then they must be good.
The best part is the price of these kits. Her favorites range from $16 to $68, so there's a wide range of prices and categories to choose from (one of them is even a drugstore product). Each of her hand-picked faves is a powder formula, which means they are easy to use and not too messy. Just grab a brush and you'll be on your way to a Kardashian-level contour in no time!
Even though Kardashian skipped the part where she shows us how to actually use these palettes, the web is here to save the day! Makeup gurus have filmed plenty of contouring videos for your makeup-doing pleasure. So you can say goodbye to feeling guilty about splurging on a palette, because now you'll know exactly how to use it!
1. Anastasia Beverly Hills
Anastasia Beverly Hills Contouring Kit, Sephora, $40
Not only does the palette have the perfect shades for almost every skin tone, the company offers a whole series of tutorials for fair, light, and darker skin.
2. Kardashian Beauty
Cabana Bronze Matte Bronzer, Ulta, $15
I was surprised to see that Kardashian's own product was the least expensive on the list, but to get her advice on how to use it, you're going to have to pay for her app.
3. Charlotte Tilbury
Filmstar Bronze & Glow "Medium To Dark," Charlotte Tilbury, $68
I'd say this duo is well worth the money considering how loved it is by bloggers and celebs alike — and how easy it is to use.
4. Kat Von D
Shade + Light Contour Palette, Sephora, $46
Makeup pro Jaclyn Hill is constantly using this product, so you know it has to be good. Kat Von D is a total artist, and her tutorial shows just how much of a makeup genius she is.
5. Too Faced
Cocoa Contour Chiseled To Perfection, Sephora, $40
There are only four different shades in this one — a contour shade, a matte bronzer, a matte highlight, and a shimmer highlight — but all the powders smell like chocolate, so that's an added bonus.
6. MAC
Sculpt & Shape Powder, Nordstrom, $26
This product is perfect if you're not looking to purchase a bunch of colors that you'll never use.
7. NYX Cosmetics
Highlight & Contour Pro Palette, Ulta, $25
You can actually buy this palette at a lot of drugstores as well as your favorite beauty store. It's rated a fan favorite at Ulta as well.
It doesn't get easier than this.
