I'm looking for a contour/highlight for dry, sensitive and pale skin

I am hoping that someone will help me find a contour/highlight for my dry and slightly sensitive skin that is actually suitable for my skin tone. I have pale skin with cool undertones that lean towards neutral. Often the lightest shade a brand has is one shade too dark for me or too warm. The highlight on the Anastasia Beverly hills contour palette in their lightest shade is almost my exact skin tone. How in the world can I highlight and contour? I don't want to have to go to the Halloween store and open a vampire makeup kit to find my highlights and contours... seriously though.. any help is appreciated.

Hi!! I'm also fair and cool-toned. I really like the Too Faced Cocoa Contour face palette; there is a light contour shade in there that works really well for me. I would also look into Hourglass brand face palettes and bronzers, as Hourglass shades tend to lean very light. There is an ambient lighting face trio that they make which includes a contour/bronzer, blush and highlight and it's gorgeous.

@MsMeowgan  One product you might want to check out is the  Charlotte Tilbury Mini Filmstar Bronze & Glow Contour Duo 0.12 oz/ 3.5 g  . Charlotte tilbury products tend to play well with dry skin and the light/medium version is fairly light. 

 

You might also find going the cream/liquid product route is the better way to go. If you need something super light, the Too Faced Born This Way Super Coverage Multi-Use Concealer with Hyaluronic Acid  can be used as a contour as well so you may have an easier time finding your shade there. It appears to be out of stock right now, but the lightest shade of the PATRICK TA Major Sculpt Crรจme Contour & Powder Bronzer Duo She's Statuesque   might also be an option for you and the brand has super nice products.
