TIPS ON CONTOURING YOUR FACE

True, contouring can help create beautiful planes in your face. But leave that for the evening, because if you do this during the day it can make you look very made up. This is because the blending won't be thorough enough to be invisible.

Before you actually contour your face, it is necessary that you know your face shape. Once you know this, you can contour and highlight your face to balance your face shape. Since each face shape is individual, you need to use contouring to play down your flaws and blemishes.

WHERE TO DO IT?

To find out if you need to go in for face contouring, stand under a bright light that's positioned directly overhead, if possible. Before you stand here, check that you have moisturizer, tinted moisturizer or foundation on your face to give it that particular shine. Look at yourself in the mirror and see how the light falls on your face.

If you find a shadow under your cheekbones, use a contour product here. If you still can't figure out where to apply the contour product, suck your cheeks in and look in the mirror for the best places to apply it. For best results, use a darker powder than the color of your skin.

HOW TO ADD THE CONTOURS?

· 1 Get your foundation and distribute it evenly all over your face. If you still have dark spots or blemishes, use concealer to cover those areas.

· 2 Now take you angled brush and suck in your cheeks. Take your dark pressed powder that is a shade darker than your skin. Dip your brush in the powder and follow the line that is formed when you suck your cheeks in.

· 3 Take you dome brush and run it across the line that you have formed on your cheeks. This will soften it and make it look more natural.
