Contour tips for allll the face shapes

Hey hey my dudes. I wanted to revisit contouring for all the different face shapes out there. I'm trying to simplify it as much as possible, but I DO think these tips should work for every face shape whether you have a wide face, narrow face, long chin, large forehead, etc. Remember to start with the overall shape and then refine by section 🙌🏻 Let me know if there are any more specifics you want me to cover ❤️
01:06 For narrow or long faces
03:50 For wide (round or square) faces
07:16 How to look more heart shaped
10:05 Side by side comparisons

Cool thing I've discovered, I wear a headscarf for religious reasons, and the placement of the scarf along my forehead and the sides of my face can sort of contour my face a bit, shortening my forehead and making nice angles along my cheeks and my jaw. If you wear hats or headscarves highly recommend experimenting with that

@ninav3454 Жыл бұрын

this is pure gold content, thank you! So many tutorials just say Heart shape do this, oval shape do that! And for a long time i wondered why nothing works for me. That’s the answer - your face shape is unique and you will rarely find a face that fits exactly into those schemes you see on the internet. Also, your face changes shape ever so slightly as you grow older and/our gain or lose weight too. So always gotta adjust your routine. This video is very helpful for that. ❤

Someone once commented on the 'brown haze' on the side of my face. I haven't contoured since then, and I'm dead sure I put on a very little amount that day. I have a wide face shape and should contour the sides, but I'm afraid other people will notice like last time :(

I havent been able to make contour work in person either even with the sheerest contour products and a light hand. "Why is your face dirty"

@user-oi8qx7ig4c Жыл бұрын

Try using a cooler toned contour and use your fingers to blend. I know brushes and beauty sponges are most fashionable now, but your fingers give you the most control and can make the blend look more natural

@momoratime2956 Жыл бұрын

the tips in the other replies are good, and also you can play around with having contour beneath your foundation, but also: i personally only do contour when it's either night time or i have a really photo-heavy event! it's true that trying to make contour look super seamless in daylight can be tricky. evening makeup is a lot more forgiving.

Are you using the right shades for your skin tone? It makes a lot of difference, try to match your shadow's colour

@KeilaBevins Жыл бұрын

Have you tried putting the foundation over the contour? I think I saw a video that said to do it like that. I think maybe the foundation blends the contour to make it look more natural or something. Idk if I remember correctly.

This is so helpful! I never knew how to do contour. I don’t know if you’re accepting video suggestions, but if so, I need a ten-minutes-tops workday makeup routine that helps me look my best without sacrificing professionalism (or sleep!). And if you want a bonus challenge, preferably with drugstore products that won’t require a bunch of touch ups through the day!
