Contouring. Step by step

1. You first start with applying the base.

2. Choose a dark concealer, ask the model to suck in the cheeks to find out the cheekbones and swipe a line under the chhekbones only to half way through the cheek.
3.  Contour also around the nose and under the chin to give a visual illusion of a slimmer face.

4.  Blend the counciler with a small brush. You can also blend it with the fingers.

5. Add some translucent powder on the base.

6. With a dark powder define the contoured areas.

7. Apply a highlighting powder on the nose, forehead, chin, cheekbones, corner of the eye and under the eyebrow which is where the light would naturally hit , and it will also put in evidence this parts during a photoshoot.

8. Ask the model to smile so that you can apply the blush on the cheeks  bringing it gently toward the temples.
