Highlighting and Contouring...... is my new bf!

Highlighting and Contouring... the beginning!




 so, i've always been a fan of the glow and definition that highlighting and contouring gives. but for a while, I didn't know how to properly execute it without looking like a drag queen.lol! truth be told, I remember using a brown lip liner to contour my face when I was 9 years old, messing around.  those days are over! ha! in the picture above, I have applied a thin layer of my Mary Kay Time Wise Matte Wear Liquid Foundation. The Highlight is a light concealer from my Coastal Scents Camoflage Palette which I love because it's not heavy, and just creamy enough to blend. I used an E.L.F. small stipling brush to apply it on my cheeks, chin and forehead and a concealer brush down the length of my nose. For the contouring, I used the same Camoflage Palette and a concealer brush on the sides of my nose, the underside of my cheekbones, my temples and a bit at my jawline. From there, I took a flat top powder brush by E.L.F. and blended it all. I used a clean small stipling brush to blend my nose. then I use a powder brush from Mary Kay to dust a light colored pressed powder over the highlighted areas and an angled blush brush from MAC to brush a darker pressed powder along the underside of my cheekbones and on the sides of my nose. then a powder that matched my skin tone around the edges of myface.... blush, of course and i'm done....


And there you have it!

Gotta love a little side-by-side action.
