Give inspiration and how to make contours for your face

Contour is a technique used to give the impression of makeup on the face so it doesn't look flat. In contour techniques, there are Bronzers and Highlights. Bronzers are used to reinforce parts of our face such as the nose, jaw, cheekbones and the edge of the forehead. While Highlights are commonly used to highlight the part of the face you want to highlight such as the forehead, under the eyes, chin and nose bone. Making contours on the face helps clarify parts of the face, creating the appearance of higher cheekbones and a thinner nose and chin. This is a technique popularized by celebrity makeup artists, but with the right products and equipment, this technique is easy to do on its own. If you have applied contour makeup, don't forget to blend it well to create a smooth and natural appearance.

Just like makeup that has a color level. Some people with dark skin have red undertones, while others have green undertones. Try to pay attention to your dark skin tone? For dark skin that tends to be reddish, choose highlights with shades of silver. If your skin is olive, use highlights with shades of gold.

To contour, adjust the color to the foundation used. For natural results, we can choose contours 1 level darker than the foundation. For contours with optimal results, choose contours with a color level 2 levels darker than the foundation. For skin tones that tend to be very dark just skip the contours in the area of ​​the skin. It's better to use a highlighter slightly at the bottom of the eye and side of the nose, under the eyebrows and slightly above the cheekbones.
