Tips on How to Contour Your Face Like a Pro

if you were blessed with naturally high cheekbones and a structured jawline, then you are lucky. But for those who need a little sculpting in that department, these tips below will help guide you on contouring like a professional makeup artist.

Makeup artist Lashundra Easton (glamdollteaston) http://www.lteastonmakeup.com shows and tells us how it’s done.

1. Prep your face with two shades of base. “Dot on a foundation or concealer that’s one shade lighter than your skin tone in the center of your face, and another that’s one shade darker than your complexion around the perimeter,” explains makeup By: Shun.

2. Blend the two shades. “Using a blending brush with natural and syntheic bristles, blend the two concealer shades on your face to create the illusion of depth and dimension.

3. Contours and highlights of your face. “Mark the areas you want to contour — the hollows under your cheekbones, your temples, along your hairline, jawline, the sides of your nose, the tip of the nose, and the crease of your eyes — with a deeply-colored brow gel pencil,” says makeup By: Shun. Brow gel pencils are really concentrated, and very smudge-able and it’s easy to control the placement of their dark pigment. Use an all-over cream highlighter on the tops of your cheekbones, on the center of your forehead, the bridge of your nose, the center of your chin, and on your cupids bow.

4. Blend the two for a flawless finish. “Create that sculpted airbrushed effect using a flat top dense brush to buff out the two shades to perfection.
