Face contouring has become increasingly popular within the last couple of months. Although face contouring is not a new technique, it’s popularity has risen significantly among the general public. Makeup artists have been using this technique for ages on celebrities and models all over the world and now we (non famous people) can indulge in this trend as well!
So, what exactly is contouring?
In simple words this makeup technique allows you to change your facial features and even some body features without having to undergo any type of surgery. After applying foundation you use various colors, both light and dark to highlight and contour certain parts of your face such your cheekbones or forehead. When you become a contouring pro, not only will you be able to enhance your own features but you'll also be able to create the illusion of different features as well!
For beginners I suggest investing in a contour kit such as this one by Anastasia Beverly Hills. This kit comes with all of the colors that you could possibly need to highlight and contour your face, it’s commonly used so you’ll have no problem finding a tutorial on how to use it if you're feeling stuck! (thank god for makeup beauty gurus).
