The Pale Girls Contour: Dainty Doll Cream Blush 'Billion Dollar Babies'

I use the excuse of being pale as the reason for not being able to contour properly which is true to a certain extent but truthfully, I'm just cack handed. I don't contour all that often, who has time for that? But on the rare occasion I do, I almost always reach for Dainty Doll Billion Dollar Babies. Shades like NARS Douceur & Tarte Exposed can be used to contour on my skin tone too but Billion Dollar Babies is now my go-to face shaper.

This year Dainty Doll products have been popping up all over discount websites such as Fragrance Direct which is where I bought mine for under 2 quid, madness! It has now sold out but after a quick search online I found it on Amazon for under a fiver. Still a bargain. The reason Billion Dollar Babies works for me is simple - it isn't orange. It's an almost taupe-y, nude shade and creates really natural looking shadows anywhere you use it. It is a cream blush and that helps too, it's easier to blend and you can use your fingers instead of reaching for brushes when you're in a rush.

Billion Dollar Babies is one of those products I would never have bought if it wasn't reduced to such a low price. The colour does nothing for me in the pan but it's such a useful product to have.

    1. I haven't tried it on all the hollows of my face like a pro but for the cheeks it's really good. :)

  2. The colour is gorgeous, I can definitely see how it would work for a paler skin tone x

    1. It's really subtle, even if it isn't blended properly you can't really tell.

    1. With most bronzers, any mistake I make is obvious because I'm so pale.

  4. I've never tried contouring before because everything just seems to look orange on me but this looks like it'd work! xx
