How to achieve a natural contour

The trend of contouring has taken over the beauty scene by storm; however, we don’t always get it right. Here are some Fontana quick tips to help you achieve that natural looking contour.

Remember, contouring is used to create shadows and to add dimension to the face, as sometimes our foundation alone cannot give us the look we want.

An easy way to ensure your contour blends seamlessly, is to apply a concealer or foundation two shades darker than your own skin tone to the areas of the face you wish to create shadows. I would recommend a cream product as it is a lot easier to blend, even for the beginner.

After applying your contour shade, you want to apply your foundation and blend it all together. Remember lovelies, blend, blend, blend and then blend some more.

My favourite cream contour products are:

–Black Opal’s stick foundation or stick concealer

–Milani’s cream to powder foundation 

Still uncertain about the cream contour technique? No worries, we’ve got you covered.  Another way to achieve a natural looking contour is to opt for a bronzer.  Every girl MUST have a good bronzer in her makeup bag!  Bronzing the perimeters of the face creates the illusion of a slimmer face while adding a natural glow to your complexion at the same time.  This is an awesome alternative to contouring.

Some of my favourite bronzers that I use on myself and clients are:

–Cover Queen Collection Bronzer in ebony – perfect for medium to dark skin tones.

-Milani’s baked bronzer in Sunset is also a great option.

All these products can be found at your one stop beauty hub, Fontana Pharmacy…

So go on and sculpt those cheeks and flaunt that glow…Stay gorgeous.
