BECOME A CONTOUR GENIUS Get to know your facial features:
Each face shape is unique. Identifying the structure of your face will help determine where to properly place the dark shades.
Find the right shade that works with your skin tone:
Look for a hue that is slightly darker than your skin tone for a more natural look.
Cast true shadows and stay matte:
It is best not to use shimmery products to create a naturallooking contour. Leave the shimmer to highlighting.
Invest in proper makeup tools:
It takes the right kind of brushes to get the job done and help achieve the look with precision.
Perfect your technique:
(then you’ll create the perfect illusion) Practice makes perfect. The more you do it, the more you’ll get used to creating an effortless contour.
EASY, DAY-TO-NIGHT WEARABLE CONTOUR Day:
The idea is to mimic the appearance of a soft shadow when your face is under natural light. During the day, you want to keep your contour natural. Begin by dabbing a little bit of sculpting powder onto an angled contour brush. Remove excess product at the back of your hand. Then follow along the hollow part of your cheekbones and start applying product with soft upward motions. Start light and work your way up. When you find that the lines are a bit harsh, buff the edges out with a little bit of face powder. Define your eyes by lightly applying the same sculpting powder just slightly above the crease for a balanced day contour.
Night:
At night time, you can get away with a little bit more product and definition. Simply add to your day look by outlining your jaw bone and gradually building it up. If you are feeling confident and would like to go slightly pro, shape your nose by lightly applying contour powder to the sides of your nose bridge and blend in. Finish the look with a light dab of highlighting powder on cheeks, forehead, bridge and tip of the nose and chin.
