CONTOURING
AND SHADING
When properly done, contouring can 'magically'
reshape and enhance facial features almost as
effectively as plastic surgery!
Instead of buying special contouring powder, I just
use blush or eyeshadow in a neutral brown tone 2 or
3 shades darker than my skin tone. But I do apply
shading with a 'contouring brush', which looks like
a blush brush, but smaller and more defined. (available
at any drugstore)
As you can see in the picture, I contour quite a few
things:
the sides of my face, to make it
appear narrower
the hollows of my cheeks, to define my
cheekbones
the tip of my nose, to make it thinner and more
defined
my forehead, to make it appear lower
my jawline, to define the jaw and strengthen the
chin
Have fun experimenting with shading different parts
of your face to see what works best for you!
Everyone has their own secret little quirks about
things they'd like fixed or tweaked on their face,
and a bit of well-placed contouring may be all you
need to reshape those quirky bits into just what you've
always wanted! :)
OK! Next up, APPLYING BLUSH...
