I am SO glad I keep getting a ton of pageviews for my Benefit Benetint vs Benefit Posietint post and video. So, I'm guessing many of my readers are Benefit Cosmetics fans :)
This is why, today I'm bringing you a Highlighting & Contouring Tutorial using 3 of my Holy Grail Benefit products: Benefit Hoola, Benefit 10, and Benefit Highbeam.


We're all beautiful and unique and makeup is only a trick to
boost our natural beauty and have some fun in the process. As I always say, makeup is a lot like painting. Just like you create the illusion of depth or volume when you paint or draw, the same happens when you contour and highlight your face during a makeup routine.
Knowing how to contouring and highlight your face is actually really simple, quick and it makes a dramatic difference on your feature's definition and strength.

As a quick general guide (see the pictures below), contouring is about stressing the natural shadows in your face, created by your bone structure, so step 1 is always knowing your face... take a good look at yourself in the mirror. When used correctly, contouring can help you look slimmer, or narrow the bridge of your nose, just as a few examples...

Here's a link to the YouTube video Tutorial I created as a backup for this post, showing you how I generally Contour & Highlight.

ReplyDeleteTried to play vid but couldn't get it to start.. :-/ Just wanted to let you know! :)
I love this video! It looks easy to follow. My only concern is...does it look somewhat natural? I'm not a big make up wearer by nature, but I'm hoping to get into this. Will every women notice I've been contouring?
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the vid! Very useful.
