Demo: Classic contour

For classic contour highlighted the models areas she wanted to bring forward using NC/5 if not light enough added clown white from palette supercolour as wanted to make the highlighted areas 3 shades lighter than the models skin tone.

Highlight and contour tips;

1. Highlight the areas you want to bring forward 3 shades lighter than the models skin tone.

2. Middle shade make 3 shades warmer than the models skin tone.

3. Dark shade of the contour make 5 shades warmer than the models skin tone.

Once applied highlighter certain areas she wanted to bring forward on the models face, started buffing in lightly to the models skin, once buffed into the skin Branka started concealing under the eye just to take out any darkness.
Now creating her grey tone contouring colours as your creating almost a shadow colour for the models contour. Applying her dark shade under the highlighter and bringing it up and around the highlighter that is top of the cheek bone onto the temples on the forehead, starting to buff into the skin lightly once this was all buffed and blended well blot powder MAC was applied and then went in with contour colour sculpt to deepen the models contour giving more structure to the models face, once applied to all shaded/contoured areas added MAC shimmer to highlighter areas bringing more forward! Blusher applied getting the model to smile and applying using the powder blush dolly mix.
To finish the look using strobe on her ring finger to give extra highlight and giving a spray to the models face of rose water.


This image above I've inserted isn't very clear so I have tried to make the image bigger but still only slightly shows the highlighting areas, but you can kind of make out where the highlighting areas have been mapped out on the models skin.


This image helps to show the highlighted areas as this stage the contour colour was applied to the models contour areas mainly focusing on under the cheekbone and up onto the temple.


the image above showing the skin now been powdered using blot powder MAC and sculpt in MAC to above the deepen the contour/shaded areas I think in the image gives structure specially the cheekbones really come out to you in this image.


Final look of classic contour.
