Contouring, a technique previously reserved for runway models and fancy photo shoots, is now becoming part of many girls’ daily routines — thanks in part to Kylie Jenner and the Instagram makeup artists who share her same love for the chiseled look. So what is it, exactly? “Contouring is giving shape to an area of the face and enhancing the facial structure through makeup.”
How to contour your face with makeup
Makeup artists use different methods to contour the face; I prefer to use powders after I’ve applied foundation, whereas some will use a cream coverage under or over the base. Follow my tips on how to contour your face to help you achieve the look you want. Contouring is all about creating shadow and light to alter the shape of the face, maybe to give the illusion of higher cheekbones, a slimmer face or shorten the nose. Different face shapes need different contouring or shaping, some will need more highlighting while others will use more contouring to help create the shape you want. The first thing to decide is what is your face shape, then be guided by this picture as to where to contour, where to highlight or maybe just use blusher.
