Contouring for Beginners

Contouring adds dimension by creating shadows and highlights. Here's the beginner's guide.

1

Know Where Shadows Fall

Contour mimics natural shadows: under cheekbones, sides of nose, temples.

2

Choose the Right Product

Contour should be a cool-toned shadow color, not warm bronzer.

3

Start Subtle

Beginner contour should be barely noticeable. Build up as you learn.

4

Blend Thoroughly

Harsh lines look unnatural. Blend until you can't see where contour starts.

5

Less is More

Over-contouring looks costume-like. Subtlety is key.
