Contouring literally has the power to really transform faces!


Contouring is the art of creating illusions on the face using makeup. Its not for everyone as it depends on your specific face shape and features. Just look at yourself in mirror and identify where your face needs it.

What you will need!


A contouring brush

Contouring - A colour that is 2 shades than your foundation - you can use matte bronzer, darker foundation or a contour powder. It can be liquid cream or powder form.

Highlight - A colour that is 1 - 2 shades lighter than your foundation. You can use a lighter foundation, concealer, highlighter or powder.


I love this contour palette by Smashbox


I also love Benefits highlighting products!!




My absolute favourite products to use for contouring are the Pro sculpting creams from MAC. They currently don't stock them but i have seen them on ebay.
