Can you use bronzer for contour? The answer is yes, but only if you do it correctly. If you are fair to light-complected and cool-toned, bronzer can look great on you as a contour.

Should bronzer be matte or shimmer?

Matte bronzers have absolutely no shimmer or sheen. Such products are used to warm up the skin and subtly sculpt. However, matte bronzers shouldn't be used for contour, as they're too warm-toned. Matte bronzers add depth to the skin and have a natural skin-like finish.

Is contouring necessary?
