Easy Contouring

Let's face it, most of us don't have the time or money Kim K has to spend on having her face beautifully contoured every day of her life. Here is an easy approach to contouring that takes no longer than doing average everyday makeup! It's so simple!
Here is what you are going to need:
1. Maybelline Fit stick foundation. You will need a shade that matches you skin tone to apply all over and a very dark (I recommend a shade lighter than the darkest shade they make) shade for contouring.
2. Liquid stick concealer. You will need a very light shade concealer to highlight!
3. Real Techniques Expert Face Brush. This thing works magic. You can find cheaper contouring brushes but I find that nothing works quite like this one and it is still relatively cheap compared to others!
4. NYX HD Studio finishing powder. This is a white fine powder!
5. Real Techniques Setting Brush


How it works:
1. Apply Maybelline Fit foundation (the color matching your skin) all over the face and use the Real Techniques Expert Face Brush to blend it in. Buff the foundation into the skin by moving the brush in circular motions all around the face.
2. Once the foundation is rubbed in, apply the darker stick foundation to the areas you see in dark brown in the photo above. Do not rub it in yet.
3. Apply the liquid concealer to the areas in the photo above that are light colored.
4. Using the Real Technique Expert Face Brush, blend the areas of dark and light together in circular motions. Be sure to blend very good against the hairline and creases on the face.
5. Once all of that is blended in, use the Real Techniques Setting Brush to lightly apply the NYX powder all over the face. Be careful not to put this on too thick or you will look ghostly.
