Makeup brand Crown Brush is constantly out of stock of their infamous cream concealer contour palette (below), as every girl wants to achieve the perfect cheekbones and look super skinny (wahey for makeup!)
So what exactly is contouring, and how do we do it i hear you ask??
Basically, contouring is the highlighting and shading of your natural features using light and dark shades to create the illusion of that 'perfect' facial shape! We all have different features on our faces that we would like to either change or enhance, and by using shading and highlighting techniques we can achieve this!!
The shape of people's faces differ, and the 'oval' face shape is considered the most desirable. To achieve this, we need to blend out the sharp/round features of our face, and this is where the beauty of makeup comes into play. I have created a little pictorial below, using both a light concealer and a dark concealer, applied to certain areas of my face and blending them together to create a contoured look.
You can contour using creams, concealers, foundations, and powders and they will all have the same effect.
Product List:
