Beauty: The Art Of Contouring (Video)

The whole idea behind contouring is that you essentially enhance the hollows of your face to make your features seem sharper and your face slimmer. In a way you are highlighting it by enhancing the parts of your face that would naturally, makeup or no, stick out.

By these we mean cheekbones – but contouring allows you the freedom to pick which part of your face you would like to stand out the most. Look at the difference in face below.

So you want to get higher cheek bones and a stronger jawline? Here’s a really short tutorial on how to go about doing it.

As contouring requires the use of heavy makeup, it is definitely not recommended as an everyday look. It's best to try it once in a while for a very special occasion.

There are some products you should get if you dont already have:

Foundation

Concealer

Bronzer

A contour brush

A blender brush

A highlighter brush

Once you’re fully equipped follow the instructions on the pic and you’re good to go!

Highlighting and contouring your face could really change your look. Contouring gives you higher cheek bones,  a super strong jaw line and a beautiful face-all together.

Start from the nostrils- draw a line upwards past the lash line and extended almost to the hairline. Then add contouring to areas you want to define and or slim down [cheekbones, nose, jawline, and chin. After that start to blend, it helps to work from the outside in ( check out picture 4). Finally apply make up on your eyes and lips and you are done!
