Contour Types

The make-up types, which vary according to the habits and preferences of the users, are spread over a wide range of works. You can buy the preferred cream contours in pallets or individually as they spread more easily in the contoured area and are more permanent. Thus, for shadows and contours, you can find the most suitable work for your own tone. Powder contour palettes, which are quite suitable for those who are a little more advanced in makeup techniques, provide a more natural look. These works, which are distributed with an angled brush, are not suitable for dispensing with a make-up sponge or by hand. Stick contours, which come to the aid of those who love practical and easy make-up, also come to the fore with the convenience of being carried in a bag. You can achieve effective results in a short time by distributing these products, which can be easily applied under the cheekbones, with your fingers.

Contouring Techniques

You can achieve a more lined face with contour make-up, where you can effectively show the places you want to hide and the places you want to reveal. Apply the light color to the areas where you want your face to look bright. The illuminator you apply on the cheekbones, nasal bone and lip ensures that your contours are emphasized. If the color is dark, apply it to the lower area of ​​​​the cheekbones, along that border to the end of the cheek to add depth to your face. Spread the dark line that you have applied without pressing too much, around itself with small circular movements. In this way, you can reveal your cheekbones. Spread the light color that you applied on the nose bone and lips with the help of a brush. When you lighten the middle of the forehead, you may notice that you have a more bony and thin face image than before. In cases where you want to make your nose appear smaller, you can leave the sides of the nose in the shade and brighten the high parts with the help of a light color. When you contour the corners of the lips in a dark color and the middle parts in a light color, your lips will have a fuller appearance. In an effective eye make-up, the first thing you need to do is to apply the illuminator to the eye springs. Next, apply and distribute under the closure area of ​​​​the eyelid. Apply a dark eyeshadow to the fold area of ​​the eyelids and distribute it with the help of a brush. In this way, you can have a much more effective look with your make-up that you shade with real dark colors.
