How to Contour Your Face
Want sculpted cheeks and a slimmer nose -- instantly? We asked a pro to show us the simplest and most effective face contouring techniques
Oval: Where to contour Step 1: Apply your contouring product under your cheekbones. Tip: When shading, do not go further than the end of your brow when applying shade under your cheekbones.
Step 2: Apply contouring down the sides of your nose and apply highlighter down the middle (use the same techniques as the heart-shape face). Tip: If you have a long nose and want to make it look shorter, only apply highlighter at the bridge of your nose, not all the way down.
Step 3: Apply highlighter to the following areas: above your lips, above your cheekbones, on your eyelids.
Step 4: Apply blush to the apples of your cheeks (in between the contouring and highlighting stripes).
