• Apply a primer to create a smooth base for flawless make-up application. 
• Select a concealer that complements both your skin type and undertone (cool, warm, or neutral).

2. Map out your face

• Take a moment to analyze the unique features of your face to tailor your contouring strategy accordingly.

• Identify your face shape – whether it’s oval, round, square, heart, or diamond – as this will determine the key areas for highlighting and contouring.

• Determine the high points for illumination and shadow areas you want to contour to add depth and definition.

 

3. Define your facial contours

•  Sharpen your facial contours.
Choose a concealer shade that is darker than your skin tone and apply it to the hollows of your cheeks, along the jawline, the sides of your nose and the perimeter of your forehead.

•  Lighten dark areas.
Pick a concealer that is slightly lighter than your skin tone and brighten the undereye area, along the bridge of the nose, and on the chin.

• Highlight your facial features.
Use the same light shade to create natural highlights on the high points: cheekbones, brow bone, cupid’s arch.

4. Master blending techniques

The key to a radiant and natural-looking contour lies in blending. Use a makeup sponge or brush to ensure that your concealer blends seamlessly with your skin and, avoiding unwanted harsh lines and stark contrasts where highlight and contour meet. Remember, the art of blending is essential, so take your time!

 

5. Set your concealer with powder

Set your hard work while ensuring a long-lasting result with a translucent powder. This ultimate finishing touch is particularly important to prevent lines and wrinkles in the under-eye area. Choose a fine, blendable powder and apply it with a light hand.
