Lately so many people have been on this kick of highlighting,contouring or sculpting, or what I known it to be called " Corrective Contouring".
So you ask "What is Corrective Contouring?" I'm so glad you asked!! In its simplest terms it is a technique many makeup artists use to minimize what you believe to be your less desired features while bringing attention to what you believe are your more flattering features. For example making a overly round face more slender or making a crooked nose appear straight.
Corrective Contouring is not a rigid technique but a celebration of your uniqueness and showing off your best assets! I believe with the right technique, tools, and products you can make your face look anyway you want it!!!
Contouring can be tricky and must be done right to achieve that fabulous look.
Below is a picture of the many face shapes and what is to be contoured(minimized) to what is to be highlighted (accentuate).
Contouring can be done with foundation that is 2 shaded darker than your skin tone. Highlighting can be done with foundation that is 1 to 2 shades lighter than your skin tone.
There are many contouring and highlighting makeup palettes out on the market that you can choose from. When picking a contouring shade do not confuse it with bronzer!! Contouring is suppose to act as a shadow with not light bouncing off it. If you are highlighting under the eyes do not go too light which will a make you look as if you have a mask on your face.
But with all of this just remember its just makeup and it all washes off. So don't be stressed out about it, explore have fun!! All that matters at the end of the day is you are beautiful with and without makeup!!!
Have a blessed day!!
