  • 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

    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 :(

      @user-oi8qx7ig4c Рік тому +22

      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 Рік тому +12

      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.

    • @KeilaBevins
      @KeilaBevins Рік тому +2

      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.

    Would you ever do a video on how to use contouring to accentuate your features? For example, I have wide cheekbones and I don't want to make them look narrow, just a more enhanced version of what they are. All the contouring content I have found is about downplaying your prominent features

    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. ❤

And if you want a bonus challenge, preferably with drugstore products that won’t require a bunch of touch ups through the day!
