Contouring and highlighting can seem intimidating, but with the right tools and techniques, it's easy to achieve a sculpted, glowing look. Here's how to master the art of contouring and highlighting.
Choose the Right Products
For contouring, choose a shade 2-3 shades darker than your skin tone. For highlighting, choose a shade 1-2 shades lighter. Cream products work better for dry skin, while powder works better for oily skin. The Contour and Highlight Palette has everything you need.
How to Contour
Apply contour along the hollows of your cheeks, along your jawline, and on the sides of your nose. Blend thoroughly to avoid harsh lines. The key is to blend, blend, blend! Use a fluffy brush for seamless blending.
How to Highlight
Apply highlighter on the high points of your face: cheekbones, brow bone, cupid's bow, and the bridge of your nose. This draws light to these areas and creates a glowing, youthful look. The Cream Highlighter gives a beautiful, dewy finish.
Tools You'll Need
Invest in good quality brushes for precise application. A contour brush, highlighter brush, and blending brush are essential. The Makeup Brush Set has all the brushes you need.
Remember, less is more when it comes to contouring and highlighting. Start with a light hand and build up as needed. With practice, you'll master these techniques and achieve a beautiful, sculpted look.
