Easy Peezy How to: Contour =)
If you don't know what contouring is, then be prepared to have your life changed! Contouring is something that many girls do and something that every woman in Hollywood has been doing for years! I think Marilyn Monroe had these tricks down before a lot of us did lol. She always looked so beautiful and radiant and this article will teach you how to do the same!
What Contouring basically does is slims your face and changes facial features to what you want them to look like! It's why you could swear some of your favorite celebrities had a nose job in one pic or they just look soo different and more than likely that was due to this very technique.
How contouring works
The way contouring works is basically shadowing areas you want to be minimal while highlighting areas you want to be seen.
You can go from this..
Very Tired and Drab.. to this!
LOL! I used the funniest pics but you can see the clear difference right? I think she looks beautiful in all these pictures but makeup just helps you look your best I think! It makes you look awake' and alive' and just highlights your best!
This pic can give you the jist of how its done visually.

Big Difference right? So whats happening here is you are taking a shade of cream/powder that's darker than your skin and place it in the areas that you want to be sunken in as you can see in the 2nd picture. A popular place to do this is in the middle of your cheek to create an illusion-ed chiseled jaw but really you can do this anywhere you want! And then blend it out! Everyones face is different so there is no wrong. This is just a guide. I honestly don't do it to this level for myself because I don't change my features. I just highlight in certain areas to make me look awake and shadow areas to give me a more chiseled look sometimes.
For the Highlight, you guessed it! You get a light cream/power and place it in areas you want to stick out. A popular place is under the eyes because it hides your dark circles and illuminates this area to create an illusion of being more awake, looking energetic etc. When placed in certain areas, this can alter your features slightly as well. Marilyn Monroe use to extend the highlight under her eyes out and past and around her eye close to her eyebrows. This gave her a wider and more open face.
A trick of Mine is I always do this stuff for job interviews and I'm telling you, it makes a grand difference! It makes me look awake and ready, energetic, ready for the tasks ahead,healthy! lol, it looks like I got a good night of sleep which makes me look like I have good time management among other things I think. It also just makes you look clean and neat and more attractive. And if anything, doing that to my exterior gives me that kind of complex so It's just all a positive thing.
This is heavy contour. There is also much lighter contours you can Google or better.. search it up on You Tube. There are plenty of how to tutorials so you can see step by step how it's done! I hope you guys try and enjoy!
Yayy! A make up blog. I haven't done one of these in awhile so I wanted to kick it off right! I will be having some more make up blogs coming up soon and I'm very excited!!
Happy Saturday and xoxo T
