Has anyone tried using the dark bisque as a contour product.  Just wondering.  I have medium toned skin and was thinking the dark would make a good contour product.  I use the summer bisque as a consealer and love it.

No, but it sounds like a good idea. I would need to see the color in person to be sure.

 

Some say bronzers are OK to use as contour but I find they are not the shade I want for contour.

 

I use summer bisque, too.  Love it!

I agree, bronzers are a bit too warm to use as a contour.

A trip to Ulta could answer the question if no one here can. I think a darker shade of BE foundation might be easier to work with than bisque, which is more intense.

Dark Bisque is a warm golden brown. It's not too vastly different from Summer Bisque.  Deep Bisque has a bit more red in it, but the color still is too yellowish for contouring.  I think the one of the foundations in the Dark/Deep category will work better as a contour for those in the Fair-to-Medium BE range.
