#Easiest way to contour your face skin
“Basically, your skin will just look naturally glowy, and that’s from highlighting underneath the foundation.” By blending foundation over your highlighter, “you can still see the skin’s texture, instead of seeing an obvious highlight line,” she says. But now, Nicole says to first blend a cream or liquid highlighter over your cheekbones, then apply your foundation on top, and then finish with the contour to add dimension. Before, you might have applied your foundation, then blended on some bronzer and highlighter. Just like the concept of contouring has changed, so has the order of the application. Do you put foundation on before or after contouring? The goal with bronzing is to create the illusion of a warmer complexion by blending the product (which, by the way, usually has a sheen or shimmer to it) where the sun would naturally hit your face: temples, nose, around the edges of your face, etc. When using bronzer, think sunlight, not shadows. With contouring, you're creating depth to make the angles of your face pop more, so you need a product that can create the illusion of a shadow (and shadows aren't shimmer).
First of all, a contour product is always, always matte. I get it, you've got two products that look like virtually the same thing, but I promise they're not and they each serve a different purpose. What is the difference between bronzer and contour? The old contour and highlighting trends were about changing your whole face to look a certain way, but now it’s about embracing your natural shape and giving yourself realistic-looking depth and dimension.” But now, she says, "Less is more, and we’re embracing natural, dewy skin.
“From 2012 to 2018, contouring based on your face shape was seemingly very important,” says LA-based makeup artist Jenna Nicole. The whole point of contouring is to enhance or change the shape of your face with makeup, but its effects don't have to be all that drastic.
