Move on to applying the highlight colour to your face.
#CONTOUR ROUND FACE SKIN#
Adding too much to begin with could leave your skin looking muddy. Top tip: When applying you contour start with a little and build up slowly. Use a flat top foundation brush or angled contour brush to pat the contour onto the selected areas and blend out. We’ll get into the exact areas to apply this based on your face shape but as a rule the hollows of your cheeks, top of the forehead, temples and jawline are usually the key places to apply your contour. The highlighter you choose should be one to two shades lighter than your natural skin tone. The contour shade should be cool tones and two shades darker than your skin colour. Choose your contour and highlight shades. The exact positioning of your contour and highlight will largely depend on your face shape but as a rule contour is usually places on the perimeters of the face and highlighter on the middle. This is added to the high points of your face to create the appearance of lifted bone structure. The other type of highlighting or “strobing” as I’ll be referring to it, comes from a shimmer product that catches the light, this is the last step of the contouring process. This gives you the perfect consistency, coverage and colour and it can be a much cheaper alternative than splurging on specific highlighting products or palettes. One of the best products for a highlighter is simply your own favourite concealer, but in a lighter shade than you would usually purchase. You can purchase highlighting products in liquid, cream or powder form, but in my experience the product that works best for this is a cream or liquid concealer type product in a shade or two lighter than your natural skin tone. In this instance we’re referring to using a lighter shade of concealer to brighten rather than create a strobe effect with a glossy shimmer. You can either use a lighter shade of concealer or a shimmer to highlight areas of your face. Highlighting is the opposite of contouring and rather than creating shadows it makes certain areas of the face more pronounced. This will help it to create more of a shadow rather than just giving a sun kissed warmth to the skin as a bronzer does. It helps to refine and reshape the face, surgery free.Ĭontour and bronzing products often get confused, the thing that sets contour and bronzer apart is that contour should be a cool tone shade.
This makeup technique creates shadows which define and shape the face to create more structure and definition. It really is a kind of makeup sorcery that surprisingly easy to achieve!
