Easy step by step contouring

So the whole worlds gone all kimmy K contouring crazy....

I had to give it a bash, not being a make-up artist myself I made a few mistakes and my works not perfection but Hey, If I can do a half decent job at it at home so can you...!!

My number one top tip with make up is brushes....that's how make up artists create that perfect look, Their tools and blend blend blend...!!

So here's what I used....Some of my favourites..

1) Dermalogica skin perfect primer
2) Dior forever foundation 
3) Inglot bronzed pressed powder(no.31)
4) Benefit 'high beam' Highlighter
5) Inglot blush (no.27)
6) Soap&glory translucent powder (to set)



1) On cleansed, Moisturised skin apply      Primer to face.

2) Apply Foundation, Blending in well..when contouring use a smaller amount of foundation than you normally would (You don't want to look too caked with make-up)

3) Use highlighter under eye area and cheek area (As shown in pics below)

4) Using a contouring brush and your bronzing powder brush a line from you ear to under your cheekbone (As shown in pic below)


5) Using a blending brush, lightly buff product until the lines blend

6) Lightly dust translucent powder over face to set

7) Apply blush to the apples of your cheeks 

8) Next up is the eyes, Shadow, liner and mascara

9) Don't forget filling in your brows with powder (Love the HD palette) to really set the look, Voile
 
10) You have your finished look, Now don't worry if it doesn't work out the first time practice makes perfect :-)
Here's an example of my finished look


Hope this helps Guys :-)
