Contour for your Face Shape

Posted by Australis on 5th Feb 2020

HIGHLIGHT: Starting from the top, draw a cross in the

middle of your forehead and do the same on your chin. Then, draw a line down the front of your nose and finish with a sharp V shape under your eyes.

CONTOUR: Start from the middle of your ear, and draw a line along your jaw. Move up to your nose and outline the sides of that too. Then, finish around the sides of your forehead by drawing curved lines from the end of your brow to the middle of your face.

BLEND: Using a damp sponge or buffing brush (the australis make up finishing spritz works perfectly), start with your highlighter and blend or press the product into the skin. Then using a different end of the sponge or another brush, blend out any harsh lines of the contour.

FINISH: Set under your eyes with banana powder, and then finish with a touch of high life or illuminator on your cupids bow. You can set a cream contour with the corresponding powders colours, or finish off a powder contour with blush, finishing Powder or a makeup finishing spray!

HIGHLIGHT: Starting from the top, draw a small, filled triangle in middle of your forehead. Then put the highlighter under your eyes, down the bridge of your nose, on the top of your cheekbones, along your jaw near the corners of your mouth, and under your bottom lip.

CONTOUR: For your contouring shade, start with your chin, underneath your cheekbones, down the sides of your nose and finally from the end of your brow and up around your hairline.

HIGHLIGHT: Starting from the top, draw three lines in the middle of your forehead (a bit like an emu’s foot), down the front of your nose, on your chin and around the corners of your lips. Then finish with a V shape starting under your eyes and continuing up towards your temples.

CONTOUR: Contour down each side of your nose, under the highlighter on your eyes/cheeks and then finally along the sides of your jaw.

HIGHLIGHT: Starting from the top, take the highlighter from the middle of one brow, in a semi-circle, over to the other brow, then fill in the space. From here, draw a line down the middle of your nose and join the two. You can then fill in the space under your eyes, at the corner of your lips and finish by drawing a line down the middle of your chin.

CONTOUR: Start the contour on each side of your chin where you just put your highlighter. Then continue the contour up the sides of your jawline and cheekbones. Draw a line down each side of your nose, and then finish the contour by drawing along your hairline around your highlight.
