The base before contouring
Initially I did find it slightly tricky to get the right colour match as I kept mixing in a shade that was too dark or yellow toned for Justine's skin tone. However I think that once I did get the right shade I think that it applied well and looked nice once applied.
Using Cream/Greased-based Contour
Using the same method as previously, using small strokes with the brush to apply the product and slightly blending it out with the finger to make sure that there are no harsh edges.
Once happy with the look of the contour, go over with powder. Test with the back of the hand to see if it's sticky, if it is then apply more powder.
Apply blush onto the apples of the cheeks and slightly blend up.
Go over with the powder to make sure that there are no harsh edges.

What I found...
I found contouring with the cream a lot easier than powder, which I was quite surprised about as I am used to using powder on myself. I found the consistency a lot easier to blend than the powder so that I didn't get a harsh line. I think I was also a lot more confident in comparison to doing the powder last week, which I think is why the end result was a lot better. I probably could've used more product to get better definition of the features, but as Justine is very pale I didn't want to use too much product and make the skin look dirty as a result.
