Want A Chiseled Face?

Contour Your Face

Wanna learn how to contour your face? Well here is a step by step guide to defining features of your face. Contouring is all about making the most of your natural features or faking it until you make it. This will help to bring dimension to your face. What you will need is a matte or almost matte bronzer that is darker than your skin color as well as a contouring brush. Ok, enough about what it is and what you need....lets get started!

Step 1

What you will need to do first is make a fish face! After making a fish face identify the place where your cheeks sink in a little and make a shadow.

Step 2

Once you have found that shadow, we will swirl our brush in the bronzer and tap off the extra. Make sure to tap the extra off to avoid any fall out. If you are inexperienced with contouring, you may need to make the fish face while contouring to give guidelines. 

Step 3

Lets contour! Use your brush to define your cheekbones by moving in small circular motions along the shadow line. You don't want to move your brush back and forth but rather circular motions moving up towards your cheekbone. This will help to give a more realistic effect rather than a dark line on your face. 

Step 4

Once you have finished contouring your cheekbones, you can move on to your temples. You will want to work in a half-circle around your eyes near the hairline. While doing this, you can go back and forth.

Step 5

If you have a larger forehead or want a more contoured face, you can contour around the hairline above the forehead going back and forth.

Step 6

The last step is contouring the jawline. To contour the jawline, you will contour right along the bottom of the jaw and then work down the neck to help and prevent a line. This will help to create the effect of a more defined jaw. 

One quick way to remember contouring is the 3 method. If you think about it, the hairline on the forehead is the top of the 3, the temple is the round part, the cheekbone is the middle, and the jawline is the bottom. 

I hope that this was helpful and that it really helps to make contouring easier.
