Updated: How To Contour

Hi guys!! Today as requested, here is a VERY easy contouring tutorial for you.
If you’ve never tried contouring before, it’s actually a lot easier than you might think. You don’t have to go to the extreme and paint your entire face different shades, you can make it as simple as you’d like. Here’s my beginners guide to contouring…
I like to keep it simple, 

First things first, start with a blank canvas...
I dont like to apply any primer/moisturiser on my face before hand because i have oily skin, but if you prefer to do so... go ahead!!






For your base, Apply your favourite foundation to the entire face. My current favourite is Loreal True Match foundation in Vanilla.



Using your bronzer of choice, (im currently using benefits Hoola bronzer) map out on the face where you would like to place your contour. The key points of the face are the cheekbones, temple, hairline, jawbone and the sides of the nose. 





Once applied, use a damp sponge/makeup brush to blend in these crazy lines. For this step i used my Real Techniques Sponge with a few sprays of Mac Fix+. This helps to create a flawless finish...


Now you're nicely blended its time to go back in with a concealer and sharped up these lines. With a concealer, draw a line between the cheekbone and the jawbone, down the centre of the nose, the chin and the forehead. And once again, BLEND!




Once blended, go back in with your bronzer to intensify the contour further...
Highlight the SHITTTTT out of those cheekbones and there you have it!
