Cool-toned perfection.
—
When we want to intensify the definition of our jawline and cheekbones (without clearly looking drawn on), we whip out the best contour kits. Unlike warmer-toned bronzers, contour kits contain cooler-toned pigments to mimic the natural shading on your face, creating a more sculpted, lifted appearance. These makeup bag staples do come in singles, but the beauty of grabbing a kit is that they come with varying colors (and, sometimes, finishes) for shading different areas of the face to create a more realistic effect. Our editors did the heavy lifting (testing) for you, so all you have to do is read through our all-time favorite contouring palettes and duos.
