Contouring For Beginners

*** UPDATE** Products I Used.

Foundation- Cargo liquid foundation in "Warm Beige"
Highlighter- My all time favorite is YSL Touch Éclat but it's expensive.
Bronzer- This is what I use to create the contour. To make features look less prominent. I use MAC liquid foundation Studio Fix in shade NW40.Or you can use a bronzer you like.
Blush- Cargo blush in "Bali." I'm convinced Cargo carries the best blush even better than MAC.
Lipstick- MAC Myth
Lipliner- MAC  Naked

Eyeshadow- Cargo "Cyprus" it's a gold plum color.
Crease Shadow- MAC Sketch
Lid Shadow- Cargo "Green Bay" and "Pasadena" I mixed the green and pink color together to create a beautiful shade.
Powder- MAC Studio Careblend in Light Beige

Contouring isn't difficult and if you think it is you're probably reading into it too much. The rule of thumb is highlight areas you want to bring forward and darken areas you want to appear less prominent. I like to darken with a foundation 3 shades darker for a more natural contour. Otherwise you can also use bronzer. I darker just below the apples of my cheeks, top of my forehead, jaw line and the tip of my nose. Darkening the tip makes it appear shorter.

Then I highlight along the bridge of my nose, under my eyes, my chin, forehead and just above my lips. Then I blend with a beauty blender sponge. Beauty product list to follow.
