Soft Contour
Soft contour is highlighting areas on your face that you want to bring out and where the light would hit the face such as the bridge of your nose, cheekbones, temple etc.
Step 1 - Apply where needed on the face from the sides of the cheekbones, jaw and sides of the nose.
Step 2- Apply a grease base to the face without powdering and making sure it is blended well into the hairline.
Step 3- With our fingers we then felt the face structure of the client by making them suck in their cheeks.
Step 4- With a darker shade of concealer shade under the cheekbone and other places that desire contouring such as jaw and nose and then blend it out with a brush.
Step 5 - Blend well with the foundation for a everyday contour.
DO NOT apply highlight on problematic areas such as blemishes as lighter shades will pull things out making it more obvious.
Step 6- To highlight use a concealer lighter than the foundation and place on desired areas of highlight such as brow bone, cheekbones, nose, forehead etc.
Step 7 - BLEND everything out
Step 8- POWDER OVER POWDER GREASE OVER GREASE
Step 9 - Powder until the grease based products are no longer sticky on the face and then use a dark brown powder over the previous contour and a light colour over the previous highlight.
Step 10- Apply blusher to the apples of the cheeks
Overall, i wasn't pleased with the outcome of my first try as I wanted to avoid harsh lines by using a light hand but instead the contour looked too soft and almost impossible to see. I liked the softness of the blusher and the highlight but to improve i would use darker colours to control under the cheekbones to bring out the face structure.
