Contouring is used to define the face using light and darker shades of makeup. It gives depth and dimension to your face. For beginners, contouring is difficult but using some simple steps can make it easy.

Understand Your Features 

To define your face curve with contouring, study your face structure and understand areas to highlight and tone.

Work on Base Makeup 

Start with priming your face using a full coverage primer, it will help stick makeup for longer. Apply colour corrector to hide blemishes and dark spots. Use foundation and blend everything using a blender.

Highlight and Contour 

Using a contour palette, appreciate your colour complexion and apply it to the desired area. Follow the shadow of your face. Contour your jawline and define it to give shape. Using the contour to the side of the nose and beneath cheekbones will help provide chiselled cheeks and a pointy nose.

Apply contour following your hairline and blend it using a brush. Apply a highlighter to the area you want to draw attention to.

Set Your Face 

Last and important point, use a setting powder and spray to set your makeup for longer.
