How To Highlight And Contour

We tend to think of contouring as a precise science when in reality it’s much easier. So, if ever you’ve wondered just how to nail that sculpted look, join me on this step by step guide on how to achieve a stunningly accentuated face using this lauded makeup technique.

 

 

Step 1: Apply your contour stick just beneath your cheekbones, along your temples, and down the sides of your nose and blend it in well using a brush.

Step 2: Apply your highlighter stick just above the areas you contoured and down the middle of your nose. Blend it in well using your finger.

Step 3: Apply blush to the apples of your cheeks using a patting motion and ensure it is completely blended.

Step 4: Apply pressing powder along the areas you contoured earlier. Blend it in with a brush. 

Step 5: Complete the look by running over the highlighted areas of your face, as well as your cupid’s bow and centre of your forehead with a highlight powder applied using a brush.
