I, like most people love the sculpted look. (Thank-you Michelangelo). It is such a polished and primed look. Of course I give credit to the brushes and make up product but it also due to a very steady hand.
Now you must have heard all the big hi-fi makeup artist and celebs talk about how makeup can change the way you look, create illusion and hide your flaws, well the key factor here is contouring. What contouring can do and does is that it makes you see a more angular plane by using shadow to conceal and hollow in, and light to accentuate, or bring out. In the cosmetic sense, you are taking matte shades that are darker than your skin tone, and creating sharp lines of definition, essentially creating faux ‘indentations’ where there are none. Also referred to as'shading'.
Here’s a diagram, demonstrating the points that you would need to highlight and contour:
To make it easier by using Smashbox’s Step-By-Step Contour Kit or even MUA Pro-Base Conceal and Brighten Kit.
My advice would also be to look at Kim K picture above. See how it is lighter under the eye up to the temple so sweep a sheer shimmer powder along the top of your cheekbones and just under your temples like BeneFit Cosmetics, Lust Dusters Shimmering Powder, Benefit Lust Duster Eye Powder Jelly Roll or my favorite Laura Mercier, Loose shimmer powder.
Next, pucker up to find the hollows of your cheeks. Dust a deep nude blush in the sunken area just under the cheekbone.
Smile and apply a peachy blush using the “cinnamon bun method”—use circular motions from middle towards the cheekbones. Voila! Instant cheekbones!
Look closely at how ravishing +KATE WINSLET looks at 'Labor Day' premiere on Monday night. She's got a bronze-toned blush concentrated on the bottom edge of the apples of her cheeks, so it makes more of a shadow in the indentation under her cheekbones.
Gather your products and do try it girls! This contouring makeup technique will make your face chiseled. It can be easily attained by all. xxox
