Contouring is a makeup technique that involves shading and highlighting to enhance the natural shape of your face.

Here’s How to Contour Your Face

Start with Cleaning and Moisturising 

Clean your face using a gentle cleanser to remove excess dirt and protect it from any bacterial infection. Also, moisturise your face and allow it to absorb completely.  

Choose a Contour Product

Contour products can come in powder, cream, or liquid form. Choose a contour product that is two to three shades darker than your shade.

Choose a Highlighter Product

Highlighter can come in cream, powder or liquid form. Choose a highlighter product lighter than your shade.

Determine Your Face Shape

Depending on your face shape, you contour your face. For example, if you have a round shape, you can contour under your cheekbone to look better.

Apply Contour Product

Apply the contour product to the areas you want using a contour brush or makeup sponge. The areas where you can apply the contour product include temples, the hollow of your cheeks, along your jawline, and around your hairline. Blend your contour product to avoid any harsh lines.

Apply Highlighter Product

Using a highlighter brush or makeup sponge, you can highlight the area you want to emphasise, including the top of your cheekbones, the bridge of your nose, and your brow bone. Blend it to avoid any harsh lines.

Remember to blend properly to avoid any harsh lines, and choose the shade that compliments your skin tone.
