Here are some simple, but essential steps & tips for contouring:
#Nose Contouring
- Use a contour stick to define the shape of your nose bridge.
- Gently blend it with your fingers.
- Add more depth to your nose by using a contour powder and customized nose contour brush.
#Natural Over-Lip Look
- Define your lip line with a contour stick to achieve plump lips. (Draw slightly beyond the lip line and blend naturally.)
- For a longer-lasting over-lip look, finish off with a contour powder!
#Slimming the Face
- Apply base makeup products (face primer, foundation, etc.) as evenly as possible, and sweep a little amount of loose powder along the face line to prevent clumping.
- Use a contour stick to add depth around your cheek area.
- Complete the look with a contour powder for a longer stay!
