Face Contour

Yes, I contour my face, but it looks quite natural doesnt it?

Before

After

Buy makeup that will be of multi-functional use!

Lol ive hit pan pretty bad, but i love this palette and ive had it for years! When choosing a contour shade, try to stay away from reddish browns because it looks very unnatural, but rather go for a dark brown, almost a chocolatey brown

Using a finger or brush,

Draw two lines down the sides of your nose

Down to the tip of your nose forming a 'v'-like tip at the end. (this gives the illusion of a pointier and slender nose)

And to the top, up to your brows. I am so pretty, arent i?

And BLEND!!!! downward and out, up along your eye socket and gently join it with your eyebrow

Gives the instant illusion of a higher nose

Next tale a shimmery champagne shadow or white,

And with your finger or a brush,

Highlight down the middle of your nose and to the top of your forehead and blend it ever so slightly

Also highlight your brow bone, cupid's bow, and inner tear ducts

Next take your favourite bronzer

And shadow in your jawline down to the chin

And right under your cheeekbone

And up the temples. Picture drawing a '3' shape motion

What you do on one side, you must do to the other.

Next take your favourite blush and dad some on the apples of your cheeks

And swipe it across up. Blend thoroughly in a circular motion along the sides of your cheek and up to the temple as well

And Viola~! Contour all down

Such a subtle but effective difference!
