Sleek contour kits are amazing and very affordable. The light shade would be good for you as you have pale skin, the highlighter is better than some expensive ones I own... available from Superdrug and some Boots stores x
I second this! I am very pale and the sleek 'fair' face kit is perfect and the blush is great too!

Hi pen31
Mineral makeup is all chemical free, so bare minerals, jane iredale. I think there are quite a few mineral based brands out there.

Hiya - you should use Illamasqua - their foundations are amazing - I use their powder foundations to contour with.
I use Rich Liquid and skin base and they have a chart which show comparisons to other brands like NARS and MAC and BB

Illamasqua's eyeshadow in heroine is good for contouring.
If you want a more budget friendly brand though, NYX's taupe blush is also a good option, because it's not too warm to contour with.

Just thought I'd share this tip
To keep my airbrush bottles secure and in order I use my old roo nail polish bag with foam compartments.

Do you remember Primal and Rumour blusher from Illamasqua? They were the best for contouring! They have discontinued so many good products, it has actually out me off them.

Hi ladies, I am a makeup artist and i normally have clients who have medium to dark skin tones.
However recently i have ventured into photoshoots and photography and I was wondering if anyone knows of any drug store brands that are good for photography rather than buying Estee Lauder or Illamasqua, which is what I use at the moment on my clients

I would avoid using drug store foundationbrands completely.
Not only do drugs store cosmetics photograph poorly, most photographers and clients prefer to have makeup artists to use makeup that can not be bought in boots especially foundations.
You need to invest in professional brands like graftobain hd, Ben NYE hd or professional grade airbrush systems.
Screenface, PAM, Guru, Charles fox sell these and more.
Give them a call

I love MAC Matt Bronze, Bobbi Browns are gorgeous.. (If your fair/medium skin tone 'Natural' or 'golden light')
Tom Ford shade and illuminate is amazing if you like a creme bronze and want to pay a little more.
I'm not a huge heavy contour fan personally, it's not wearable for every day make up.. But I do like NARS creamy concealer at the moment, as it blends beautifully for under the eyes ( I like using fingers for this) pat it and blend.. If I needs mor coverage I will go in with a creme base concealer then set with loose powder and a puff.
