Foundation

A good foundation is important for everything you place on top, otherwise those products might not apply as well as they are meant to.

Contour & Bronzer

This list has a mixed of cool and warm tones. It depends on how you use your contour and bronzer as to where you place it on your face and which product is used.

A little bit of this goes a long way. I really like that the tones are cool for contour instead of warm for bronze.
