Here is a makeup look I did using Kevyn Aucoin's style of contouring. Alison Raffaele's #3 True concealer (www.alisonraffaele.com) was applied under the model's eyes and Alison Raffaele's #2 True concealer was used on the center of the forehead, bridge of the nose, and around the lips.
All the other contouring was done using La Bella Donna's Mahogany and Topaz compressed minerals (www.labelladonna.com). These are bronzing minerals that are dark enough to match Iman's or Beyonce's skintone. They have no mica, glitter, or reflective ingredients of any kind. They are perfectly matte.
This look would be difficult to create without the right shape of brush. Hakuhodo's flat highlighting brush ($21) is the best brush I've found to contour the sides of the nose and cheekbones. It is incredibly soft and pulls the powder onto the skin smoothly and evenly. I picked this one up at The Makeup Show (www.themakeupshow.com) which is hosted by The Powder Group (www.thepowdergroup.com).
