Mastering the art of contouring and hiding a double chin can elevate your makeup game to new heights.
In a recent video, the host shared a series of transformative techniques designed to create a naturally sculpted look.
From layering creams and powders to choosing the right products, these tips ensure a flawless finish.
The process begins with a solid foundation and builds upon that base with strategic highlighting and contouring, culminating in a cohesive, polished appearance.
The journey to a flawless complexion starts with a medium to full-coverage foundation.
This type of foundation provides the necessary canvas for subsequent steps.
Apply it not only to your face but also to extend it down your neck to ensure a consistent texture and color.
This approach prevents any noticeable contrast between your face and neck, which can be a dead giveaway of heavy makeup application.
Highlighting plays a pivotal role in adding dimension before you even begin contouring.
Use a full coverage concealer, such as Tarte Shape Tape, under your eyes to brighten the area and make your eyes pop.
Blend the concealer thoroughly to avoid any harsh lines and to seamlessly integrate it with your foundation.
This step is crucial for creating the illusion of depth and preparing your face for the contouring phase.
For precise application, a dual-sided contour stick, like the NYX Wonder Stick, is your best friend.
Begin by contouring the forehead, cheekbones, jawline, and neck.
This ensures a cohesive and well-balanced look. Blending is key here; focus on blending under the contour lines to avoid harsh shadows.
The goal is to create subtle depth and dimension rather than stark lines.
Setting your makeup lightly with a translucent powder before applying powder contour can prevent patchiness.
Use a smaller brush to set the concealer under your eyes gently.
This step locks in your makeup and provides a smooth surface for the powder contour, ensuring it blends seamlessly and lasts longer.
When applying powder contour, an angled brush works wonders.
Start at the sides of your forehead and work your way down to your cheekbones, jawline, and neck.
This technique helps create a defined and sculpted look.
Remember, the goal is to enhance your natural features, not to create harsh lines. So, blend well to achieve a seamless finish.
To lift your face and add a touch of brightness, apply blush slightly above the contour line.
A peachy-pink blush, like MAC’s Melba, can impart a healthy glow and brighten your complexion.
This placement of blush not only complements the contour but also adds a youthful flush to your cheeks.
Complement your overall makeup look with a lip color that ties everything together.
A nude shade with a pink undertone often works well.
Use a lip brush for precise application, ensuring that your lips look defined and polished.
This step is the finishing touch that brings your entire makeup look into harmony.
For a quick and easy way to define your jawline, use bronzer and an angled brush to flick under the jawline.
Additionally, practicing the “chin forward and down” pose for photos can create a slimming effect and highlight your newly contoured jawline.
Throughout the video, various products such as NARS foundation, Tarte Shape Tape concealer, NYX Wonder Stick, and MAC blush in Melba are recommended to help you achieve these stunning results.
With these techniques and products, you can create a beautifully contoured and flawless look that enhances your natural beauty.
