Highlighting and Contouring

This is highlighting and contouring done with both concealer and powder.
Basically, when you are contouring you shade any areas that you want to bring back and you highlight the areas that you want to draw forward. I applied a base first ad the with a darker concealer I applied it under the cheek bones, around the temples and te sides of te nose, but this will really depend on the persons face shape, nose and eye shape as you always want to try and achieve an oval face shape because an oval face shape is the most symmetrical and as a make-up artist it is important that you can create symmetry to make things appear as the same shape.
I then blended the concealer downwards under the cheeks the same of the sides of the nose. I then took a lighter conceler and applied this to the bridge of the nose, the cheek bones, the brow bone, 3/4 of the way under the eye in a C shape around to the eye bone. I then applied powder all over te face to set everything. I was doing it very natural here but to give a more dramatic effect you can go back over the areas with bronzer and highlighting powder.. As they say.. Darken the darks and lighten the lights!! Thats the motto when doing contouring .

   A good and useful video to watch is the kim Kardashin video of contouring. The Tom Ford Contour plate is amazing to do this with also. One of the best Iv used but it is quite expensive so be warned!!
