Thanks Lucy. Strategy is simple - don't let people know you can't instead say you don't want to ;D On a serious note - cream make up also caused my skin to breakout

I haven't tried cream contour but using powders. Cream blushers don't work that great on me so hope to get good outcome with cream contouring.

I'm hopeless at contouring. I've never tried cream contours, I'm too scared I would look like I've had face painting by a five yr old. You do it so well Sophie and make it look so easy to do

I really need to learn how to do this stuff...I bought a highlighter pack a while back and still can't commit to trying it out properly - so this is a must!

Great video and the contour looks so natural, would love to try cream contouring provided I can make it look that good.

That's super subtle and natural looking. I've never tried a cream contour because I worried it would look too 'masky', but that is lovely.

Just watching that video now and Sophie makes it look easy. Maybe because I tried powder and it didn't work for me. Might have to check out a cream one.
Love watching Sophie demonstrate though. So helpful.

Contouring with cream products really is so much quicker and easier than using a powder!

I'm too pale for contour cream, and it never quite buffs out for me. Looks so simple and good in this video though
