Maybe it's the Kim Kardashian effect, but contouring is wildly popular right now. In 10 years as a beauty editor, no one ever asked me how to contour until the last 10 months -- and now I hear it once a week. Fortunately, Nars created these beautiful contouring palettes to simplify things -- since the hardest part is often matching a contour shade with a highlighting shade. They come in three versions ranging from Olympia (for pale girls like me) to Paloma for medium skin tones and Gienah for darker tones. And the powders are soft but matte -- exactly what you need to contour like a pro.
