Hey beautiful people!!!...today we slay highlighting and contouring!!
This is the rave of the makeup world right now! Gone are the days when we just apply one colour of foundation and powder and strut off..lol. Ehn ehn!!it ain't that easy no more!
Highlighting and contouring gives you that 'magazine cover' look, that radiant sculpted look we love.
So........what exactly do we mean by highlighting and contouring?......
Just as the name implies, highlighting is a makeup technique that enhances and draws attention to some particular parts of the face. This is achieved by applying a foundation or concealer two or three shades lighter than your skin tone.
Contouring is the exact opposite and is achieved by applying foundation, concealer or powder that is two shades darker than your skin tone to parts of your face you would like to recede or sculpt or make seem more structured. Contouring with powder is the easiest method and should be easy for beginners which is what I did in these pictures.
There are various contour kits out there but I use the Sleek contour kit. It comes in 3 shades; light, medium and dark so you have to find the shade that best suits you. The same goes for other contour kits.
Having given this lecture, you can now check the pictures below to see the areas I highlighted and contoured and see the finished product.
Everything done here was subtle. You can however choose to make yours more dramatic!...Enjoy!
Hope this was helpful!! As usual I'll say if you have any questions, you know what to do....
Mwuah!
Stay beautiful!
