Contouring is a makeup technique in which light and dark tones are used in order to enhance, define, refine or hide the features. What is sought is to sculpt the face playing with lights and shadows. We must have our face prepared and have chosen the most appropriate colors for our skin tone.
- The first step will be to apply the dark tone that will give depth to our face. This will go in the area from under the cheekbones to the ears, on the upper part of the forehead (beginning of the hair), on the temple, the contour of the jaw and on the sides of the nose.
- Next, we will apply the illuminator. In this case, the product should be applied on the lower part of the forehead (near the eyebrows), under the eyebrows, on the septum of the nose, on the cheekbones, on the upper lip, on the chin and in the area between the lower part of the cheekbones and the contour of the jaw.
- Now it's the rouge's turn. This should only be applied with small touches in the middle of the cheekbone between the illuminator and the darkest tone while we smile with our mouths closed.
- Finally, and with the help of brushes or sponges, the illuminator should be blurred and then the darker tone. For an optimal result, it is advisable to apply translucent powders to better fix the makeup.
