QUESTIONS ON CONTOUR: SLIMMER FACE?! NOSE JOB?!

Hey guys! 

Today I decided to answer your questions on contour! Why we do it, what we get out of it and how. Basically all of the answers you need on contour!

So I have a before and after picture to show you first:

My face looks a lot warmer and that tiny bit slimmer! Can you see the difference?

Contouring is the best way to achieve a slimmer or even younger looking face without the surgery and everyone seems to be doing it!

You can highten your cheekbones or even look like you've had a nose job with correct application. Contouring can complete change the shape of your face. 

Tips and Tricks:

FIRSTLY - I apply ALL of my makeup and that is including my eye makeup before I start contouring. This gives me a better idea on where to contour my face because the rest of your makeup act as the foundations to your contour. 

SECONDLY - I suck in my cheeks. You know that fish face that you pull? It looks like this...

Well yes. That's what you have to do to see where you need to apply the darker shades. You apply the dark shades to the hollows of your cheeks and then blend UPWARDS. 

THIRDLY - You can apply highlight (a lighter shade than your skin) to above and below your contour to accent it even more. This makes your contour POP. 

FOURTHLY - Use a smaller brush to apply your nose contour (if you want to look like you've had a nose job!) and apply this to the sides of your nose in a straight line. Then you simply blend it out!

FIFTHLY - Apply your lighter shade down the middle of your nose and make sure it blends!

SIXTHLY - You can then use the left overs of your previous contour on your cheek brush to contour your forehead if you have a large forehead! Just apply this to your temples and top of your forehead and blend it out so you don't have a weird dark line...

FINALLY - If you want to apply a shimmery highlight to your cheeks them go for it! I apply mine on the highest past of my cheekbones and then I apply my blush and I'm good to go!

So that's it for contour! It's quite simple but it just takes time to get it right for your face shape. Here is a guide I found to help you out if you're stuck!

So that is contour! I hope this post helps!

I'll be uploading another eye look later on so keep checking my blog out! 

If you have any looks / questions you want me to feature then just let me know. 

Until next time,
