Your whole makeup look is simply incomplete without a contour because you can turn a flat look into a magical one by using the best contour brush. This makeup tool is one of the essentials that let you get a look you always desire. Unlike your blusher brush that is soft and flat, a contouring brush has specific angles with soft bristles. The purpose of adding angles into this brush is to let you apply contour all over your face in a way that you end up making your facial appearance simply attractive.
How to Get a Super Sculpted Look?
As soon as you apply foundation, then all your beautiful features cover under its layer. So, it’s time to pick up your contour kit and start outlining your facial characteristics such as nose, forehead, and cheekbones. If you don’t have any idea about outlining, then you should watch a video tutorial and follow a picture where contour and highlighting map is explained in detail.
Contour your Cheekbones
It’s not rocket science that you can’t understand. The whole process of face contouring is quick and straightforward. The simple formula is to smile and apply blush-on on your cheeks. Now draw a line using dark brown contour powder on your cheekbone or beauty-bone. This line will start from one-inch away from your ears and ends one-inch away from your lips. Now pick a contour brush and start blending it with soft hands. You don’t have to mix it too much to disappear it. Make sure you keep blending at a level where it stays on the cheekbone and highlights your bone in a beautiful way. To know where to stop blending, look into the mirror from one side, and see whether your bone gets highlighted or not.
Contour Your Nose
Another part of contouring is to add a slimmer look and appeal to your nose. For this purpose, you will draw contour lines on either side of your nose bone and then start blending them lightly. With the mean of a small contour brush, keep blending contour cream or powder inwards toward the center. It lets you get a narrow nose shape.
Contour your Forehead
When you have a broad forehead, then you can add a few dramatic effects into it by mapping your forehead. You need to apply dark contour cream or foundation as an outline of your forehead and then start blending contour with a brush inwards. You can opt for a contour powder as well, but blending a dark foundation is more straightforward and quick.
