Contour and Highlight

There are a number of different methods and products which you can use in order to create the much desired Kim kardashian look. My two favourite products which I use religiously at the moment are Illamasqua’s creamy concealer.
                                   Price : £13 each 
By contouring your face you will bring dimension and a natural glow to your end result as your face will no longer appear flat and one dimensional.  Instead you will be embracing the faces natural curves helping to create a two dimensional look.

Step One- Apply a shade which is much lighter than your natural skin tone to your forehead, under eyes, chin area, cheek bones and just above you jaw line. The reason behind this is anything you highlight will instantly stand out more.

Step Two- Taking your dark concealer apply to under your cheek bones,  temple, across the jaw line and  your forehead to help give a natural looking glow.

Step Three- Apply the dark shade down the side of your nose to help make your nose appear slimmer.

Step Four- Apply your lighter shade down the side of your mouth to the lines which appear naturally.

Step Five- Using a cream foundation such as M.A.C Longwear which matches your natural skin tone and blend the whole look together in circular motions with a stippling blush.

The lines which you previously had drawn on will start to blend into one creating a natural contoured & highlighted look .As this application does not leave you with an harsh lines. Instead you will see dimension and a natural looking glow.

Remember it’s all about blending ……. Much love Sophie x
