Not too long ago I heard someone ask the question, how does your make-up look when you don’t contour? To which someone promptly responded, Moon Face! And they ballooned their checks just to make sure everyone understood exactly what they meant! It was hilarious!! Everyone in the room couldn’t stop laughing but what made so funny is that it was completely true.
Contouring is so much easier than it looks, it’s not only for make-up artists to do. Everyone who wears make-up should contour a bit to sculpt their face. Contouring and highlighting actually goes hand in hand. Contouring pushes features back and highlighting brings features forward.
In other words contouring and highlighting actually helps you to alter the features of your face in make-up perfection. You can make you nose look slimmer, give yourself high cheek bones and even hide a double chin with this secret art in make-up. Check out the video below for an easy step by step tutorial on how to contour like a pro!
Which is better cream or powder
contour?
Powder contour is certainly
simpler and faster to apply however cream contour lasts longer so it all
depends on what’s your make-up goals as they both look great.
Can I contour using a foundation?
Yes, this is certainly a good
option. Contours are sold as a separate
product but stick foundations that are two shades darker than your skin tone
will work perfectly.
How do I know where to contour on
the sides of my face?
A great tip in applying contour on the sides of your face is to draw a straight line from the top of your ear to the corner of your mouth going closer to your mouth for a chiseled look or stopping at your iris for a just a look or warmth to your face.
