HOW TO CONTOUR & HIGHLIGHT
STEPS:
- After you’ve applied your foundation all over your face and neck but before any powder, dip your brush into the cream bronzer/darker foundation to load it up.
- Swirl the brush on the back of your hand to take away some of the intensity.
- Start at the middle of the top of your hairline and begin the letter E by tracing along the perimeter down to your temple.
- Suck in your cheeks to see exactly where your cheekbones are then continue the middle prong of the letter E by sweeping the brush from your temple to just underneath the cheekbone (to hollow it out).
- Go back along the underside of your cheekbone to the ear then down to your jawline. Finish the E by sweeping the brush just on and underneath the jawline. I like to also fill in the whole neck to really shade it, but I have profile issues and do anything I can to make mine more pronounced!
- Repeat on the other side.
- Now swirl off any remainder on a tissue or the back of your hand and use the same brush to fill up with the cream highlighter.
- Draw the letter C by holding the brush in the middle of your forehead just above your brow and outlining the eye all the way to your temple then down under your eye just above your cheekbone. This will pull that area forward and really highlight your eyes.
- Repeat on the other side.
- Take the dry blush brush and go back over the E’s and C’s in swirling motions to really blend it into the skin. You could also use a Beauty Blender sponge to do this.
- Finish by grabbing the angled contour brush and going over the E with the bronzing powder and the C with the highlighting powder.
