Contouring

Contouring is a makeup technique that helps to define and enhance your facial features. When done correctly, it can create the illusion of a slimmer face, a more defined jawline, and higher cheekbones. However, it's important to remember that less is often more when it comes to contouring, and you should aim for a subtle and natural look.

Here are some tips and tricks for achieving a subtle contour:
  • Choose the right shade: When choosing a contouring shade, opt for a color that is one or two shades darker than your skin tone. You can use powder or cream products, but be sure to choose a product that blends easily.
  • Use the right tools: The key to achieving a subtle contour is using the right tools. A small, fluffy brush or a damp beauty blender is ideal for blending out the product and creating a seamless finish.
  • Start with a light hand: It's always easier to add more product than to take it away. Start with a light hand and build up the intensity gradually, focusing on the areas of your face that you want to contour.
  • Don't forget to blend: Blending is crucial when it comes to contouring. Use circular motions to blend out the product, ensuring that there are no harsh lines or edges.
  • Keep it subtle: Remember, the goal is to create a subtle contour that enhances your natural features. Avoid using too much product, as this can create a heavy and unnatural look.
  • Use natural light: Always apply your contouring in natural light, as this will give you a more accurate representation of how your makeup looks.
  • Finish with a highlighter: To add dimension and balance to your face, finish your look with a highlighter. Apply it to the high points of your face, such as the tops of your cheekbones and the bridge of your nose.


Contouring can be a great way to enhance your natural beauty, but it's important to remember that less is often more. By following these tips and tricks, you can achieve a subtle and natural contour that enhances your best features.
