A step-by-step guide on how to contour and how to highlight for your face shape Updated on June 24, 2018 Written by: 100% PURE® Contouring is a trend that’s here to stay. It creates flattering lines in the face, and can obscure any curves or edges you’d rather not spotlight. Highlighting has become a makeup phenomenon -- everyone (including us) is obsessed with achieving brilliantly glowing skin via super shimmery highlighters. In this blog we'll teach you how to contour your face, how to apply highlighter, and how to contour and highlight for your face shape (we’ll help you identify your face shape, too). We'll point you to the right products for each step, including which natural foundations will work best as a highlighting/ contouring base, and will show you which tools to use to get the job done right! What Is Contouring? Essentially, when you contour you’re using shading or shadows to create an illusion of recession. Use contouring to help define or reshape your facial features. The areas that are not darkened or shaded then stand out! This can make your cheekbones look more pronounced, your nose more narrow or even help you reduce the appearance of the beloved soft under chin. You’ll instantly transform to a more sculpted Adonis self. PRO TIP: The key to successful contouring is to always use an opaque matte powder, liquid concealer, or cream foundation. What Is Highlighting? When you use the technique of highlighting, you’re doing the opposite of contouring. The areas that have this lighter shade or shimmer will be accentuated and more pronounced. By applying a highlighter or using a strobing effect, you can help emphasize the areas of your face that naturally catch the light. PRO TIP: To avoid an early 2000’s frosted cupcake look, make sure to choose a highlighter with undertones that complement your skin tone for the perfect subtle sheen. Foundation/ Concealer Options for Contouring Healthy Skin Foundation 2nd Skin Concealer Cream Foundation Powder Foundation Bonzer Options for Contouring Cocoa Pigmented Bronzer (3 shade options) 1-2 shades DARKER of your normal foundation shade Options for Highlighting Gemmed Luminizer (2 shade options) Fruit Pigmented Luminizer Luminating Creme: Northern Light Luminating Creme: Moonlight Luminating Creme: Starlight 1-2 shades LIGHTER of your normal foundation shade Tools for Contouring and Highlighting Non Latex Makeup Blender Cruelty Free Angled Contour Brush F30 Cruelty Free Small Stippling Brush F10 Cruelty Free Crease Brush E40 Contouring and Highlighting in 5 Easy Steps STEP 1: Select Foundation Select your usual foundation shade and apply as you normally would. Don’t forget to set yourself up for success by starting with a Mattifying Primer or Luminous Primer. STEP 2: Shade Key Areas Choose a Foundation that is a few shades darker than your skin tone or use a Cocoa Pigmented Bronzer. Use the darker foundation shade (or bronzer) and apply it with our Cruelty Free Angled Contour Brush F30 to the areas that you’d like to contour, such as the hollows of your cheeks, temples, hairline, jawline or nose. The Cruelty Free Crease Brush E40 will help you apply the bronzer in a controlled technique in smaller areas such as the sides of your nose or hair line. STEP 3: Blend It Out Start with a lighter application at first. You can always add more to build the intensity. It’s much harder to take away than to add on! Make sure to blend, blend, blend so there are no hard visible lines. STEP 4: Highlight Select a foundation shade that is 1-2 shades lighter than you would normally wear, or use a highlighter. STEP 5: Brighten Key Areas Apply the highlighter or lighter foundation shade to the areas that would naturally catch light. This is generally the tops of your cheekbones, brow bones, bridge of your nose, forehead and chin using our Cruelty Free Angled Contour Brush F30. Layer on a small amount of highlighter to the cheeks, and nose with our Cruelty Free Small Stippling Brush F10. Choosing Your Perfect Contour and Highlight Duo When choosing a natural foundation for contouring, it’s best to stick to the same finish with your highlighter. Different formulas, like using a powder base foundation then a cream foundation to contour, will have mixed results. Creamy Luminizers: Luminating Creme: Northern Light Luminating Creme: Moonlight Luminating Creme: Starlight A perfect combination for dewy would be our BB Cream as a base, paired with a darker shade in our Cream Foundation and topped off with a Luminating Créme. A perfect combination for matte would be our Powder Foundation as a base, paired with a darker shade in the same powder foundation formula, and topped off with our Cocoa Pigmented Bronzer - Cocoa Glow. Powder Luminizers: Gemmed Luminizer: Moonstone Glow Gemmed Luminizer: Rose Gold Fruit Pigmented Luminizer If you prefer a powdery, more matte finish, we’d recommend using our Bamboo Blur Tinted Moisturizer as a base, paired with a darker shade in our powder foundation. Top this off with a Gemmed Luminizer to keep with the powder formula. PRO TIP: Our Non Latex Makeup Blender works best for blending cream based foundations. Use our Cruelty Free Angled Contour Brush F30 for blending together powder formulas.
