The Ultimate Guide to Contouring and Highlighting Your Face

What is Contouring and Highlighting?

Contouring and highlighting are two methods of facial makeup used to enhance your natural features. Contouring works by adding shadow to certain areas of the face to give a more sculpted shape and definition. Highlighting, meanwhile, works by adding light to other areas to emphasize your facial features. Together, contouring and highlighting can give you a beautiful, glowing complexion.

What You Need to Get Started

The key to contouring and highlighting is having the right tools. You'll need a contour palette, a highlighting palette, a highlighting brush, and a contour brush. Make sure to choose products that are suited to your skin tone and type. With the right tools, you'll be ready to get that perfect glow!

Tips & Tricks for Contouring & Highlighting

Contouring and highlighting can be tricky at first, but with a few simple tips and tricks, you'll be able to master the art in no time. A good rule of thumb is to start with light strokes and build up to more intense contouring and highlighting. Be sure to blend the products thoroughly so that you don't end up with harsh lines. Finally, don't forget to set your makeup with a setting spray or powder to ensure a long-lasting glow!
