Secret Model Beauty: Contouring

The Best Makeup, Skin Care, Hair, Fitness, and Diet Tips: Contouring

Makeup artists have many tricks to help achieve your ultimate level of beauty. They also have secrets to help improve in the areas you lack. If you don’t have a chiseled jaw line or cheek bones, there are ways of using makeup to help your features look more defined than they really are.

Like an artist who uses paints and color pencils, you can use shading to achieve this.

What To Do You will need a powder or bronzer which is a few shades darker then your skin tone. Start by applying your normal base. Cover up blemishes to even your skin tone.

Then, using a blush brush, apply the darker shade powder as you would a blush, but instead of on your cheeks, apply to the concave below your cheekbone. Fill in from your ear lobe to about halfway down the cheekbone.

Next, apply the bronzing powder under and along your jawline and neck for a more sexy, chiseled look. Go over it a few times but not heavily — don’t give away your trick.

When you have achieved the proper shading, blush can be applied on the apples of your cheekbones. Depending on your facial structure, the bronzer and blush may over lap.
