FACE CONTOURING

The Best Face Contouring Makeup - Shop Online!

Playing with light and shadow on your face has never been easier with our exclusive contouring products. This technique is used to redefine the contours and volumes of your face by making the most of light and shade, giving it the three-dimensional look it was missing. There are two types of contouring: the first, more light and delicate, which helps enhance the features of the face without completely changing it, and the second, more dramatic, which can sometimes give your face a completely different look.

Which makeup products are used for contouring?

Face contouring is a makeup technique used to emphasise and shape the features of the face. It's one of the most popular trends in makeup. Here are some tips on the products to use for contouring:

1. Choose a foundation that is darker than your natural skin tone. Apply it with a sponge and then blend it well along the sides of the face to create the desired shape.

2. Use a lighter highlighter on the upper part of the cheeks, on the cheekbones, on the brow bone and on the forehead. This will create a more natural look.

3. Use an eyeshadow in a golden brown, champagne, or even bronze shade to emphasise the features of the face, such as the chin, jawline and temples.

4. Also add a bit of blush on the cheeks to give the face more dimension and harmony and make it look fresher.

5. Finally, apply a neutral-coloured eyeshadow all around the eyes to add depth to the eye area and make the eye contour more defined.

How to contour the neck?

Neck contouring is an effective way to create a slimmer, more defined look. Follow these steps to achieve your perfect contour:

1. Before you start, make sure you have a good makeup base, such as a moisturiser or a foundation. You can also apply a primer before your makeup to make sure it lasts longer.

2. Using a brush for contouring, pick up some highlighting product and trace along the neck line from the top of the collarbone up to the ear.

3. Create a line with dark eyeshadow (you can use a dark brown or black) along the guidelines you created with the highlighter. This line should be barely visible when you look in the mirror.

4. Using the same contour brush, gently blend both the light and dark shades together to create a gradual effect between the two tones.

5. Finally, use the same highlighting product you used on the upper part of the neck to outline the lower part of the neck and blend it well with a soft brush so as not to leave any visible marks.

With these simple steps you can easily create a contoured look for your neck!

How to contour with Bronzer?

To contour with bronzer, follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare a makeup base. Apply your usual cream and, if your skin needs it, a primer.

2. Use a light bronzer to create the contouring effect you want. Take the right brush and apply the darker bronzer along the jawline, on the cheeks and on the forehead.

3. Blend the edges of the bronzer well with a larger, soft brush.

4. Use a lighter bronzer to highlight the face: apply it above the cheekbones, under the eyebrows and, if you like, on the forehead or in the chin area.

5. Blend the edges of the light bronzer here too, to achieve a natural, even look across the whole face.

6. Finally, apply blush and highlighter to give the face a healthy, natural effect.

By following these simple steps, you'll get a professional result!

Which brushes are used for contouring?

To achieve perfect face contouring, it's important to choose the right brushes. The choice of brushes will depend on how much product you want to apply. For a lighter contour, for example, small, soft brushes such as blush or kabuki brushes are recommended.

If, on the other hand, you want a more intense and defined effect, you can use fan-shaped brushes or blending brushes with natural or synthetic bristles. To sculpt the face at its best, it's also important to choose the right brush for applying highlighting powders and those for shading.

Flat top brushes are ideal for applying all kinds of products, from foundation to powder. Also, to create a softer effect, it's helpful to have a brush with a rounded tip, while flat, short-bristled brushes are needed to better highlight the light points of the face.

In conclusion, even though there's no general rule when it comes to choosing which brushes to use for face contouring, using the right tools will give you noticeably better results!

Which products should you use for contouring?

Face contouring: which products should you use?

For face contouring, it's important to use the right products to achieve a professional, natural-looking result. The first product to consider is foundation, in both darker and lighter shades. For shading, look for a foundation with brown and reddish pigments that suit your skin tone, so as to create an effect of depth and dimension on your face. Apply a bit under the cheekbones on the cheeks, in the jaw area, along the bridge of the nose and on either side of the forehead.

To highlight, look for a foundation with light pigments to brighten certain areas of the face such as the chin, the brow arch, the upper part of the cheekbones and the centre of the nose. You can also use it to slightly fill in dark circles or to conceal any imperfections.

Another essential product for face contouring makeup is bronzer. Use it to further darken certain areas such as the bridge of the nose, the contours of the jaw and the area under the jawline, creating greater definition. Bronzers should be applied with a fairly large blending brush to give a soft, even result.

Finally, if you want your contour to last all day without losing intensity, you can use a matte, translucent powder all over the face before applying the products mentioned above. This will set your makeup without adding extra heaviness.
