Pale Skin Contour Products - Illamasqua Cream Pigment in Hollow and Kevyn Aucoin The Sculpting Powder in Medium

If you are light skinned, finding a perfect contour can be a challenge... Too dark! Too warm! Too harsh! 

Through extensive "research" -- what I prefer to call my sitting in sweatpants watching YouTube videos for 3 years straight -- I have finally narrowed it down to the only two contour products I really need... Illmasqua Cream Pigment in Hollow and Kevyn Aucoin The Sculpting Powder in Medium. One cream. One powder. Great cheekbones. [ HINT: Apply these all over, instead of a blush, and prepare to be amazed. ]

These really are THE must-have contour products for every self respecting pale makeup lover/hoarder (Let's be real. We, the makeup crazies, all totally fall somewhere on the "hoarders" spectrum. I, for one, am still waiting for the episode where someone is buried in makeup. She's out there. Drowning in MAC lipstick. I can feel it.).

My Makeup "Collection" + Organization (2011-2013)

I, like the rest of us product junkies/organizational freaks, love a good makeup collection video. Though I must say, I dislike the term "collection" and much prefer "unnecessary hoard," "dangerously obsessive amount," or "amount that wildly surpasses maximum quota necessary for involuntary commitment to a makeup rehabilitation facility." Sounds about right.

Note: I've since moved back to CA from Philadelphia, so I will be updating this within the year as I settle into a new apartment.
