Be Bold, Feel BeautifulBasic Make up techinques and Contouring the face
Before applying any makeup start by, cleaning, exfoliating, and moisturising your face. Then, using a makeup brush or sponge, evenly apply foundation after a prebase has been applied according to the skin type, pressing into the chin and cheeks and around the nose (the foundation should disappear completely into your skin). Then use your fingers to cover blemishes with concealer; for a fresh, healthy look, to set the makeup, dust your face with loose powder using a powder puff or brush, Use a bright-pink or a bronze blush onto the apples of your cheeks.
For your eyes, choose an eye shadow that matches your skin. Start with the lid, and work your way up to the brow bone. Cover the lid with a neutral eye shadow as base, then use a shadow above it which complements your skin tone and your dress, using your fingertips blend the shadow properly, use a darker shawdow on the crease as a highlighter and blend it well. Instead of lining your eyes from corner to corner, simply enhance them at the outside corners using a pencil. Then, lightly move the pencil along the outside corners of the top and bottom lashes. Blend with your fingers and apply mascara to get the desired effect.
Coat your lips with lip balm, then line with a lipliner a shade or two darker than your lips regardless of the lipstick color. Add a dot of lipstick, work it over lips, use a colorless gloss to add shimmer and finish with a dusting of shimmering powder along the cheeks for an instant, subtle glow.
Contouring the face is one of the best ways to highlight the lovely cheek bones and make your face look slimmer and more beautiful. It adds depth and Character to the face. Contouring and highlighting the face is based on the principles of light and dark. So contouring the areas with dark bronzers will darken and accentuate the cheekbones while adding dimension to the face, thus making them look slimmer.
Tips : Not everyone needs to contour- if you feel that your cheekbones are prominent or that your face is thin, it is best not to contour as you may appear too "chiseled"
Always choose a cream or powder that is just 2 to 4 shades darker than your skin, blend it well to get the natural effect.
It takes practice getting the contour technique down as each face is different, so don’t give up !!!
