So, now, we're going to do how to apply a contouring makeup. So, with Levisa, I'm going to contour underneath the cheek bones, just on the forehead, down the sides of the nose and a little bit on the jaw line and for anyone who wants to change their bone structure and make the cheek bone sharper, the nose a little bit finer, this is the technique for you. So, I'm using a darker brown with a fine brush and I'm just placing that underneath the cheek bone and then I'm taking a slightly lighter brown, I'm just putting that above so you have got the graduation of contour.

I'm going to use a little bit contour down the side of the nose and a bit at the end of the nose. When we use contouring on the forehead, it can force the forehead together and give the effect of a much smaller space, add contouring just along the jaw line. The next step of contouring is using a little bit of highlight so I'm going to highlight down the bridge of the nose, the center of the forehead, keep it bow and top off the cheek bone, just a little bit on the chin.

I'm going to blend that all together so that you can't see where one colour starts and another colour ends but it just gives you this enhanced kind of bone structure. So, you can see the bones on the side of the face look more pronounced, they look sharper, there's more definition to the nose, a little bit more refined and just a perfect foundation to then go and do other makeup. So, there you have it, that's how to do contouring.
