Step 3: Apply your contouring makeup
In order to achieve a natural looking contour, we recommend first standing in front of a mirror with natural daylight. Pay attention to where the shadows fall naturally on your face.
We believe personal preference is best to follow when it comes to any areas you’d like to exaggerate or soften, so think about what you’re looking to gain from this.
How to enhance your cheekbones
If you’re looking to enhance your cheekbones, contour just under the cheekbone – from the tragus to the side of the lips.
Start with a little bit of the darker contouring shade and map out the area you’d like to deepen.
Once this is symmetrical on both sides, you can blend it out using a beauty sponge – but be sure not to spread the contour too far outside of the line you have created.
Start with a small amount of product and build up.
Once this line is blended out, you can add a little bit of the lighter highlight shade above and below the line.
Again, you can blend this out using a beauty sponge.
How to feminize the forehead
Other areas people wishing to feminize with makeup often target are the brow bone and the forehead.
To shorten the forehead, you can apply some ‘of the darker contour shade where the brow bone protrudes on many faces. This will help push it back and will help draw attention to other areas of the face.
How to contour the rest of your face
This method of mapping out your contouring using the darker shade first and following with the highlighter shade can be applied to any other area on the face.
Be sure to only start with a little product at a time, and give yourself time to practice at home.
Makeup can express your personality and show off your charm. More than that, successful makeup can enhance self-confidence and refresh one's spirits,and make you feel like a new woman.
