How to Contour Your Face: Step-by-Step Guide
1.
For longwear, consider setting a cream or liquid formula with a powder.
Perhaps more important that consistency is finding the right tone.
Blend out your contour, lightly buffing until there are no harsh lines.
Per makeup artistDani Parkes, use upward strokes to lift the face and avoid dragging down your contour.
And remember, its always better to overblend than underblend.
Repeat on the other side.
Define the Hairline
Defining the hairline can either elongate or shorten the face depending on your technique.
To create a really natural, flawless finish, blend lightly up into the hairline.
To elongate the face, apply contour to both sides of the hairline without connecting them in the middle.
Be sure to use light sweeping motions and blend slightly into the hairline to make it look more natural.
Dont apply product past the tip of the nose.
The closer your lines are to the bridge of the nose, the more cinched the effect.
Repeat on the other eye and other side of the nose.
