Contour & Highlight Tutorial

Contouring and highlighting have become staples in my makeup routine -- hands down one of my favorite things to do when I apply my makeup for the day. I absolutely love the look of contouring and highlighting and the way it can accentuate or hide certain features of the face. You can keep it simple, or use more product to achieve a more dramatic, defined contour.

How I Contour & Highlight

Besides doing my eyes, contouring and highlighting have to be my favorite part about makeup. I just love how you can totally transform your face or bring out your features by simply applying some bronzer, blush, and highlight. To see how I contour and highlight watch my tutorial or read the steps below my video!

-- Using Benefit's Hoola Bronzer and Real Techniques' Setting Brush, I start near the top of my ear and drag my brush down my cheek. I go back and forth with my brush until I have the intensity I like. I do the same to the other side. If I want my contour line to be more intense I just go back and add more product. Remember it's always better to start with less and use a light hand, rather than with a ton of product and a heavy hand.
