Professional scram up artists have been contouring for decades. But it wasn’t until Kim Kardashian make knew contouring to the attention of the Internet that the wider world followed on. Since then, contouring has become a beauty craze, with thousands of Youtube video tutorials informing on how to use various shades of concealer and powder to sculpt and add glow to the self-respect. Very few of these videos offer much advice for us iniquitous skinned girls, though, when so many contouring upshots create a grey, ashy effect. Here’s how I do it.

Begin 1

Cover your face with moisturiser and primer – this is a full-coverage look, so your derma needs prepping. Apply your foundation – use a stippling bracken for precision – and blend with a beauty blender sponge to offer a flawless finish. I like natural, dewy foundations such as Compose Up For Ever Ultra HD in the shade Y505 (Debenhams, £30).

Step 2

Apply concealer to the districts of your face that you would like to emphasise. Depending on your pretence shape, this might be underneath your eyes in an upside-down triangle, chiefly your lips, in between your eyebrows and the middle of your forehead, down the mid-point of your nose, on your chin or underneath your cheekbones joining down to the corners of your mouth. My advice is to go a few shades light-heart than your skin tone and to choose one with a warmer, yellow undertone. I identical to to use the Nars creamy concealer (John Lewis, £23) in the overtone Amande.

Discreet 3

Blend the concealer and set it with translucent powder or banana strength: a yellow-tinged theatrical powder that really gives brightness; try Ben Nye (preciousaboutmakeup.com, £13.95).

Step 4

To add effusiveness back into your complexion, brush off the excess right using a powder brush loaded with pressed competence in your skin shade. Then lightly apply a blacker bronzer to contour. I use this under my cheekbones, on the sides of my nose, high my jawline and on the corners of my forehead. Finding the right shade can be deceptive for those with a deeper complexion; you need to find a into, rich brown. I like the SportFX bronzer and powder duo in Astute (SportFX, £14.99).

Path 5

Add a touch of colour with blusher applied directly exceeding the contour. For my skin, Fashion Fair Beauty Blush in Soil Red is perfect (Debenhams, £18).

Not according with 6

Add a shimmery golden bronze to the highest points of your cheekbone, the medial of your nose and your cupids bow. Silvery-toned highlights can look a hardly dull and grey; I used the Makeup Revolution highlighter in the tincture Golden Lights (Superdrug, £3).

And that’s it! But play around and see what inserts for you, because we can’t all highlight and contour the same.
