Ready to rock a totally sculpted face without the sweat or surgery? Makeup's got you covered! Highlighting and contouring is all it takes; this powerful technique uses shades of light and dark to make your facial features stand out. Even better, anyone can master these techniques with some practice - so let’s get glowing (and chiseled) together!

Ready to take your look up a notch? The key is finding the right products. You'll want something light and bright like a liquid highlighter or concealer two shades lighter than your natural skin tone for highlight, while contour requires an ultra-defined cream bronzer or setting powder that's two tones darker. Then just follow these simple steps to get those perfectly accentuated features!

Start by giving your skin a bit of brightening magic! We’re talking about applying concealer or liquid highlighter in certain areas - like an upside down triangle shape from outer corner to inner corner under the eye for beautiful, luminous results. Don't forget adding product down center of nose, cupid's bow above lip and chin too – just blend with either fingers or a Beauty Blender until everything is seamlessly melted together. Finally make sure all products are set-in-stone stunningly with powder foundation using that large fluffy brush for even coverage

Grab a bronzing brush and blend away! Start by applying product along the temples, hollows of cheeks, sides of nose and jawline. Make sure that you tap off any excess before sweeping downwards for natural-looking shadows. Highlighting and contouring is about accentuating those gorgeous qualities already there, not drawing attention where it's unwanted - like in fashion when we use vertical lines to appear slimmer or horizontal ones for more volume! So remember: highlight = bring forward; contour = push back.

Looking to contour and highlight for your gorgeous face shape? While it's tempting to get hung up on which one you are, there’s an easy way out. Go with the option in the diagram that best fits yours - then just focus on what looks good and makes YOU feel confident! Good news if you have an oval face: You can rock any look as they all work nicely with this versatile shape! For those with a round-shaped mug, subtle highlighting down nose center, chin & forehead will help create some slimming illusions while bolder contouring around cheekbones & jawline seals the deal. Square faces carry their own special brand of beauty – why not try softening things up by adding highlights along foreheads plus gentle shading beneath cheeks too? No matter your unique facial structure let’s find new ways for make ‘em stare…in awe ;)

Get that glimmer of glam with a Highlight or its cousin the Highlighter. Matte foundation and concealer will lighten up any area, but when you want to take things up a notch add in some Strobing - also known as shimmery radiance! Get ready to glow like only your favorite magazine models can.

TOOLS NEEDED:
- Foundation Color that matches your neck & chest. Try my contouring kits that have all the foundations and color correctors all in one place.
- A non-shimmery foundation color that is slightly lighter in color from your foundation color. This could also be a concealer that isn’t meant for color correction.
- A powder bronzer or darker powder then your foundation color. Depending on how dramatic you want your results, you can use a foundation stick to contour and then use your powder to enhance and blend later.
- Shimmer powder or stick.
- Finger, moistened sponge/beauty blender or brushes.

Ready to achieve your best look yet? Follow these steps recommended by a pro and you'll be glowing in no time! Start with moisturized skin, then apply primer. Move onto eyeshadow while that absorbs - yes, before foundation! Conceal or use lighter-colored foundation on the bottom half of the face. Then blend it all out using fingers, brush (or damp sponge!) Time for contouring: follow along with our picture guide above so everything looks natural & even. Keep blending away until each shade melts into one... And don't forget about radiance ;) Stand back and admire your new glow - have fun looking fabulous!
