Tutorial: How to contour and highlight your face

Another tutorial for those just starting out with makeup, this tutorial will show you how to contour and highlight your face to give it more depth and dimension.

First off, you'll need a bronzer, blush, highlighter, and a contour brush. The handle broke off mine, but I still use it :P

This is what my face looks like without any contouring

Step 1: With your contour brush, apply bronzer into the hollows of you cheeks and blend upwards towards your temples. This is what gives you cheeks depth

Contour around your jawline, underneath your chin, and around your nose for a more sculpted look. If you have a little more fat underneath your chin or jawline, this will help camoflauge it.

Step 2: Apply blush on the upper part of your cheeks, above the bronzer, and blend upwards into the bronzer and the temples. Applying blush to the apples of your cheeks will make them look rounder, so if you are trying to get a more sculpted look, then just apply on the upper cheekbones and not the apples.

Step 3: Highlight the very upper part of your cheekbones, down the bridge of your nose, and your browbones. Try to use a highlighter that doesn't have too much sparkles, but rather something that is more luminescent and glowy, this will keep your face from looking like a disco ball.

All done! Your face should look sculpted and well defined!
