Facial Contouring with Foundation?

I love the look of facial contouring. Can anyone recommend the foundation they use to accomplish this?

I'm fair and have no idea what shade to start with?

Do any brands sell a compact with different shades in it? I've looked, but can't seem to find what I'm looking for.

Thanks

Mabelline rewind in brighten or lightest color good for highlight. Contour. Maybelline fit. I use 330. My skin tone is light. So you might be able to use a shade or 2 lighter than 330 But remember. You want the contour color to be dark. You will buff it out and no one will even notice that this foundation shade is wrong Also fit is a nice light weight foundation which makes it easy to blend. Good luck This isn't a compact. But I got both product fir under 10 dollars

I use Maybelline Dream Mousse in a very deep shade as a contour. It is very easy to blend over your regular foundation

I was looking for the palette with the dark & highlighting shades from Laura Geller. She used to sell that with the lamb's wool paddle brush. Not on QVC, nor at her website. But she'd be the one for sculpting, since she was a theater makeup artist.

My sculpting consists of a very light swipe on the jaw line w/ It Vitality Glow Matte Bronzer and Victoria Principal Radiance pen. But Laura's palette would be ideal!

I wish a makeup line would sell a compact of highlighting/contouring shades. I've looked, but can't find any.

Thanks for the replies.
