Hello Gorgeous

Ever wonder how people get that super star celebrity flawless face? Like they look so good it hurts your eyes to look at them? 

I have recently had my eyes opened to the art of contouring the face! (AKA the key to the flawless face) So this weekend I had the genius idea to go to the makeup store and buy some things for attempting to contour my face...which was a bad idea to let me wonder unsupervised thru the makeup store. These were the items I selected to attempt to contour ... 

I am in no way shape or form a makeup artist (I want to make sure everyone is aware of this!)!! I am a Hairstylist that is venturing into the makeup world....SCARY BUT FUN!!!!(ALSO EXPENSIVE) I am new to this but I am going to walk you step by step thru the application process I used to achieve my final look. 

 In this picture on the left I have NO makeup on... haha on the contouring process you will see how silly you can look. My husband says I look like an alien in the in between phase.

So I started with NYX Mineral stick foundation (in MSF05 Medium Beige featured on the right) and I drew an upside down triangle in the middle of my forehead and drew a line from the center of my triangle down thru the middle of my nose (as seen below)

Next I moved  to under my eyes again we will be drawing upside down triangles, but extend your outer line up your cheek bone to the outer corners of your eyes stopping right at the edge of your hairline, then fill in the triangles(as seen below)
 example

Now on to the cheek bones! Grab your darker color I used the same type of foundation stick but the shade was darker... (MSF 09 to be exact carmel)

you are going to want to draw lines just under your cheek bone as well as a rainbow looking thing on your forehead! (AGAIN I AM NOT A MAKEUP ARTIST SO I DON'T KNOW THE CORRECT TERMS!)





Now on to mine chin and under my nose(upper lip) area from the top of the lip you draw an upward triangle just past the corner of your nose. (in the lighter color!!! my lighter shade is MSF 05) Next grab your dark color (mine is MSF09) and going up the outer edges of your nose and down the outside edges of you mouth!

blending!

 Slowly coming together! Make sure you blend it really well if not you will look extremely cake like... I also recommend blending up into the hair line and also down into the neck line for a very natural appearance! I also have drawn my brows on before I did everything else, (which I will do a lesson on those later as well!)

CHECK OUT MY BROWS!! ON POINT! 

    The Final Look 

Eye make up and all.

I will do another lesson on eye makeup later... but for now if you have questions or comments feel free to do so below!
