Makeup Tips: Contouring & Highlighting Like A PRO!!!

Hey Everyone!

Some people are lucky enough to be born with perfect facial features. World renowned women like Scarlett Johansson and Angeline Jolie (two of my favourite actresses), quickly come to mind when thinking of beautiful faces. A beauty sensation that’s trending all over the web for makeup is contouring and highlighting of your face. Not only is it simple but you can easily change it up every time you do your make-up. Contouring is simply a make-up technique used to enhance and define facial features. If you are having flashbacks to intense 80s blush, don’t worry, these days contouring is a lot more natural looking.

You don’t need to use a specific cosmetic brand and you may already have all the tools you need at home. To add some definition to make your face even more beautiful, check out the specific steps and tips on how to do it below.

Step 1: Assess your shadows. 
The trick to making contouring look natural is to work with what nature gave you. If you want your cheekbones to appear higher, look at your face and figure out where the shadows would natural fall. Generally, this includes the space in between the bottom of your cheekbones and the top of your jawline, the sides of your nose, the top of your hairline. Apply a line of contouring makeup in each of these places. Used em Cosmetics Chiaroscuro Contour and Highlighter Stick

Step 2. Highlight. 
Now that you've created the illusion of shadows, you’ll want to bring a little light on your face. Use a highlighter stick, cream or powder to draw the eye to your most favorable features. Apply highlighter across the tops of your cheekbones and to the center of your face to bring those features forward.

Step 3. Easy just Blend. 
Use a blending sponge or brush to smooth out the contour and highlighter lines and ensure a natural, polished look.
