How to use a Face contour kit for contouring?
To try contouring, first of all you need to apply your basic makeup right. Like the foundation concealer etc. Once you have done the makeup for the base, the contouring can be done. But these days there is not a set pattern for any step in makeup like some makeup artists swear by contouring the face before applying the foundation but with a cream contour. But here, we are talking about the basic contouring so, we will take the simple route.
- Once the makeup is done. Take some dark powder on the angled brush and make a fish face.
- This will expose the hollows of the cheeks, now apply that powder on the hollows of the cheeks and take a little upwards diagonally towards the ears.
- Now comes, the use of highlighter. Take some highlighter on a clear small angled brush and apply on the high points of the cheekbones, but do not take that too near the eyes.
- Apply some highlighting powder on the brow bone as well. This creates nice defined brows.
