My Go-To Trick for ID Photos That Don’t Suck

Someone asked me recently: which contour works best—powder, cream, or liquid? My answer? Depends on what you want. I mostly use powder because it’s quick. But for real skin-like definition? Liquid and cream contour win. If you’re aiming for a soft, clean finish—and you’re worried about going too hard—go for cream or liquid. They’re nearly foolproof. Now, I’ve got acne scars and dark circles, so concealer is my best friend. The issue? Liquid contour can disturb that hard-won coverage. That’s why I usually pick cream contour—it blends in without lifting product underneath. ⚠️ Reminder: always apply liquid or cream contour before setting powder, or you’ll get clumps. Work fast—tap it in with a clean puff right after foundation. It melts into your skin and creates that subtle, sculpted “I-woke-up-like-this” shadow. I even use this for ID photos. The result? Soft-focus bone structure that looks like no makeup—but better. #beauty #makeup #FlawlessIDTrick
