Who knew a simple trick could add definition and shape with a blend of a brush? Over the years I have loved how adding a contour line to my cheek bone instantly awakens and adds a healthy definition to my face. You are simply enhancing what you already have, so give it a try!
I pulled ultimate inspiration from this photo of Adele, this truly captures a contour. The fact she is kissing her Oscar show the contoured line that much more but don't make a kissy face when finding your natural line, it doesn't follow the natural line of your cheekbone.
My beautiful and amazing friend Christa helped me achieve this lovely look, it is simple and fast. Once you learn it, you will have mastered the art
All you need is;
- A blush brush
- A blush or bronzer in a shade a few shades darker than your natural skin tone-We used Studio Finish by MAC
Start by holding your blush brush near the top of your ear and have it run along your natural cheekbone line. To help find this natural line, smile slightly. This is the line you want to follow with your contouring color. Start near the top of your ear and run your color down along to the apple of your cheek. As you can see, the look almost appears to be a triangle, the widest part beginning at the ear and running down to the apples of your cheeks. Blend the color in so it doesn't stand out too much but is still apparent, no point in contouring if you blend it all in. Enjoy the natural enhancement of your features!
