There are so many choices and techniques when it comes to makeup for contouring! Depending on your bone structure or love for the dramatic, the best contour makeup can range from bronzer to powder to full on foundation shades. Contouring works for the nose, cheekbones, forehead and jawline, giving you more defined features that look great in photographs or for a night out.
Highlighting Powder & How to Use It for Glowy Skin
Makeup For Contouring: Shape & Sculpt Your Features
- Apply a matte bronzer two shades lighter than your skin tone for a subtle effect in the 3 motion – temple to hollow of the cheek to under the jaw
- For a more pronounced look, blend a deep powder in the hollows of your cheeks and along the sides of your nose
- To dramatically sculpt your features, use a darker cream foundation
And of course, finish off with a highlighter to complete the look! How do you contour? My go-to is our new Motives Contour, Bronze and Highlight Kit that was just featured in Elle!
