GlamPad | Highlighting and Contouring


I am such a big fan of contouring and a perfect example of beautifully done contouring, is Kanika Kapoor in her new video 'Jungi Ji' (How AMAZING does she look)

Contouring is an excellent way to define your features, and also makes your face look slimmer within minutes!!!

Contouring is very easy to learn and with the right tools any one can do it.. 

For everyday contouring the best compact kit that i have used so far, is from the brand Sleek, it has a dark compact colour and also a highlighter which is great for above the cheekbones and the price is great!...



 Tip: Everyone has different dimensions to their face and different features they would like to bring out, therefore don't go on youtube and follow the steps of a makeup guru, as what they are doing might not be suitable for the shape of your face.


Now the best photogenic way to get this look is by using creme foundation, the trick i use is used by many pros to give a glow to their clients....

 First start by drawing lines on the features that you wish to highlight using a creme foundation that is very light (i say 3 times lighter for your skin tone), then use a darker shade creme foundation around 3 times darker and draw lines on your Cheekbones, temples, forehead and jawline.
Next using a stipple brush and a sheer foundation that matches your skin tone, blend the lines into your skin (blend blend blend)... Lastly use a setting powder to set the foundation and Wallaaaaa !
If this sounds confusing... Don't worry i will be doing a makeup tutorial very soon!
