Contouring is a makeup technique used to enhance your facial features and make your face look more structured and symmetrical. By using slightly darker or lighter makeup than the actual skin colour, dimension is added to the face. Hence contouring is all about defining and accentuating facial features by creating the effect of shadow and light using makeup. It is brought into effect with amazing contouring products, including contour sticks, contour palettes and singles from favourite brands such as Swiss Beauty.
The easiest way to contour is to take a darker shade than the foundation and use it to create shadows. Swiss beauty makeup has a broad range of Face Foundation, which provide light, lasting coverage. Experiment with different lines, sculpting the face with shadows until you find the look that works for you. Use the silky, smooth, blendable and highly pigmented 4 in 1 baked contour makeup palette, a highlighter & bronzer palette of Swiss Beauty for achieving the desired results.

Use the highlighter makeup to add dimension to the face. Apply a lighter shade or a highlighter to areas of your face that reflect light naturally, such as your forehead, the bridge of your nose, the tip of your nose, the cheekbones, above your upper lip or the cupid's bow and around the eyes. Use a slightly lighter concealer than the skin tone, a shimmery highlighter, illuminator, or eyeshadow.

Contour kits are an all-in-one product that never disappoints. As a means to a sculpted, chiselled complexion, they boast a range of shades that help contour, highlight and bronze the face. With a plethora of kits and palettes, such as powder contour palettes, powder contour kits to choose from, all with different shades to suit the skin tone, they can be mixed and matched to create amazing results.
Cosmetic products like foundation, concealer, highlighter and blush highlighter need to be thoroughly tested. You can test the products on the back of your hands or the wrist or arm. It is easy to identify the most suitable shade for your skin tone. While makeup products in cream forms are ideal for drier skin types and give a more luminous finish, you should consider using Powder contour palettes for oilier skin types as they give more of a matte finish.
When initiating the contour regimen, think of all the natural places the sun hits the face, including the temples and the forehead. The best practice for contouring is beginning the process after applying the moisturiser, primer, foundation and concealer- in this order. This kind of sets the complexion and forms the base from whence to introduce other contouring and highlighting products on the face. Blending is of prime importance.
A damp beauty sponge or face brush to blend makeup into the skin is a real asset for such times. Use a dabbing motion to blend and merge the colours to create a natural finish. If you have used a powder, gently sweep the product over the skin and dust away from the excess with a fluffy makeup brush.
Apply the contour powder starting from the ear using a contour brush and gently blend towards the mouth. Use light feather-like strokes, and blend them to ensure a soft natural line. For a pleasant glow, apply the highlighter to the cheeks.
Apply contour powder along both the sides of the nose. Complete it by applying the highlighter down the centre of the nose. Make sure to blend both the contour powder as well as the highlighter.
Apply contour powder on the neck, using a slightly darker shade than the foundation near the jawline to enhance the sculpting effect. Blend it thoroughly, leaving no harsh lines. Apply the highlighter powder above the jaw to draw focus on it.
When using cream products, it is best to use lighter hues below the eye after initial blending. A dab on the chin and the centre of the t-zone can also create a lot of brightness. While contouring with a cream product, one can use fingers or a fine brush applicator to contour the area beneath the cheekbones, under the chin, and around the sides of your face to highlight the chin and lengthen the face. Apply it to the sides of the nose to make the bridge look thinner.
This time draw it along the upper cheekbones, along the bridge of the nose, and upward into the t- area above the brows and the centre of the forehead. Apply it to the chin as well. The Swiss beauty liquid highlighter is an awesome formulation available in 6 ultra-luxurious shades.
Use an applicator to allow optimal control due to its fine tip that is perfect for blending. Finally, apply sheer or translucent powder to set the contouring makeup and to achieve the best results for face contouring and sculpting.
Applying blush to the apples of your cheeks isn't necessary for a contouring look, but it does help makeup look more natural as a bridge between the shadow and highlight areas. Blending is especially important since you're working with shades that don't match the skin tone. Whether you are using a big, fluffy brush, blending brush, or makeup sponge, blend your shadows and highlights into your skin or foundation layer until no lines are visible.
A contour palette often has two or more shades, which can be blended together to find the perfect match for your skin tone. Stick to a contour palette with a minimal number of shades. Palettes are easy to use as they include all that is required to conceal, contour, sculpt and highlight the complexion. Using a contour palette is an easy and great way to sculpt and define your face.
If you have fair to medium skin, consider going for neutrals, taupes and beige contour shades. That lean on the cooler side. One can tend to go a little more golden for more tan complexions, as these tones naturally have more warmth in the skin. Use the correct neutral shade for dark skin tones.
For someone new to the whole contouring experience, sticking with creams is recommended, as they are easier to use. Use a good contour stick. Not only are they super creamy, but they are very easy to use. The pigment content of some powder formulas might be lighter, but it is not easy to apply. However, with the advancement of makeup skills and techniques, you can go right ahead and add some powder products to the repertoire. Either way, a contour palette is an ideal choice, whether it is in cream or powder form.
The end goal for the contouring is to be truly undetectable and for everyone to think that you were simply born with an awesome bone structure. Complete the gorgeous look using vibrant eyeshadows from the eye shadow palette coupled with waterproof mascara. Swiss Beauty products offer multitudinous choices of face makeup products, both in the cream as well as the powder form. Their foundation, contouring and highlighting kits and eyeshadow kits are adapted to the Indian skin tonality and provide lasting, excellent and full skin coverage.
