Many want to have the facial features of Greek Gods: the sharp jawline and hollow cheeks. How do you achieve this look?
Makeup has been used to create many different types of looks. Looks for theater, dance and just for everyday life. It has evolved into being used as a way to manipulate how someone looks. You can now manipulate where shadows on your face are and what shape your features are.
Contour is used to add shadows to your face that can, for example, give you slimmer cheeks or nose. You can alter your face shape as well, this technique has been popularized by many celebrities, especially after Kim Kardashian showed what her makeup artist did her makeup.
Contouring is a technique used to exaggerate your features or to slim down your face and body. Contour comes in three forms: liquid, cream and powder. The easiest to use would be powder, NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP Highlight & Contour Pro Palette, easy to blend into the skin. Liquid and cream contour is easy to apply but harder to blend in for beginners. One popular cream contour is the FENTY BEAUTY BY RIHANNA
Match Stix Matte Skinstick.
Bronzing can be added on top of contour but it does not have the same use or causes depth to the face. Bronzer is to add warmth and color to the face, especially for when you want to look sun-kissed.
Bronzer is easy to use and comes in cream, powder and cream-to-powder formulas. One of the popular bronzers is TOO FACED Chocolate Soleil Matte Bronzer and BENEFIT COSMETICS Hoola Matte Bronzer.
Both products and techniques sound and look similar but both have different uses that can be played around with to achieve different looks.
