Choose a bronzer (or special contour product) without any shimmer in it and apply it to the face in a ‘3’ shape – under the cheekbones, up onto the temples, along the hairline and down under the jaw.Ģ. Then, depending on your time/effort threshold, follow one of these two techniques. The picture below shows you where you should be putting all your highlight and contour shades for that job.īefore you start with the contour apply your base – primer, foundation, CC cream, concealer – whatever you usually do there. However, if you want to go the whole hog, there is plenty of scope elsewhere on the internet. I would call this ‘contouring for normal people’ (I just use the products I already had in my stash). So, for those of you who want to experiment with contouring, I thought I’d outline the techniques I use.
I personally enjoy some light contouring most days and occasionally ramp it up for a special occasion or night out (actually, a night out is a special occasion to me these days…) It’s just another fun thing to try if you want to and – as with all of these things – as long as you’re not in the territory where you can’t leave the house without doing it or you’re going without food or other essentials to afford to buy the products, then I don’t see the harm.

Remember that being photographed is their full-time occupation – plus they have make-up artists to do it for them! However, a little light contouring is not taking us down a totally different and more dangerous path than other make-up techniques that all come off at the end of the day with a hot flannel. I don’t have the time, money or inclination to try and radically redefine my face shape. I’m not advocating following the Kardashian Kontouring example every day, or any day actually. If you’ve seen any pictures of her once it’s all done, then you’ll know her finished face doesn’t. If you’ve seen the pictures of Kim Kardashian before she’s blended in all of those shades, then you’ll know it looks kind of crazy.
It has been popularised by the Kardashians and their make-up artist Mario Dedivanovic. more defined cheekbones and jawline and a slimmer nose. In short, it’s the technique of using creams or powders in shades lighter and darker than your natural skintone on different parts of your face to achieve a slightly altered appearance to your face shape e.g. If you’re not beauty-blog obsessed like me, then it’s possible the whole contouring phenomenon has passed you by. I find lash extensions an altogether more involved and unpleasant proposition than adding a little extra light and shade to your face that you can easily wash off again in the evening. Now, I’m no contour fanatic but I honestly can’t see what all the fuss is about. So Bobbi Brown ‘has called BS on contouring’ saying, “I don’t get this whole contouring thing… makes you look like you have dirt on your face.” She sees it as something more ‘extreme’ than the usual enhancements woman make to their physical appearance via make-up products and techniques.
