![]() Abby has a rounder face, so i went dark on the shading in the hollows of the cheeks. This is typically the hollows of the cheeks, the neck, and the sides of the nose. You can even get your eyes and lips all ready before you contour!Ģ) Take your contour brush, like this one from Sephora, and apply your darkest shade of powder to the areas of the face you would like to create shadow and definition. For Abby, I decided to use a powder based kit, like this awesome one from Anastasia Beverly Hills.ġ) Perform your normal makeup routine and set your base with foundation, etc. Typically for oily skin, you would want to use a powder based kit, while with dryer skin, a creme kit might be better. you just need good lighting!īefore you get started, you must determine which type of contour kit you would like to use. While I did this on Abby for an upcoming shoot that the LMP had, it is very easy to do on yourself. ![]() Their primers and foundations are some of my favourites and their eyeshadows and mascaras are also amazing.I hope you all had a fantastic time over the Holidays, and partied it up the LMP way for New Years Eve! I'm back with my newest Beauty with Brittany Lo post, and this week, I'll be teaching you guys how to perfect the makeup trend that has taken everyone by storm over the last few years. However, not to say I’m bashing the brand. But nothing about this product makes me want to use it all the time, and so it’s not one I would tell you to all run out and pick up. Whether that’s because my cream contour skills suck, or because it doesn’t give the desired effect I’m looking for, or because the contour shades are just too warm, I really don’t know. To be honest, as harsh as it sounds, this product is a miss for me. However, I did find the more I built it up, to look more intense and give my face the same effect it does with the Collection Contour stick or any of my contour powders, the more you gradually looked muddy and less natural. It takes a good while to really build up and make look as effective as a powdered contour. These creamy shades are helpfully numbered and the simple guide inside the kit shows you were each colour should be. The colours come out initially very pigmented, but blend out really easily possibly to easily… so that you’ve blended it out almost into nothing-ness. Tested by Caroline Bradley: Editor at .uk (Light) This contour kit is perfect for make-up pros giving you three shades of light contour and three shades of dark contour to help you perfect your sought-after look. This is actually a relatively easy contour kit to use. There’s a yellow colour, to go under the eye and brighten, a colour (that on me) would work as a concealer, a very peachy shade (which I’m not entirely sure of it’s use), and then 5 pans that gradually get darker… and warmer. There are eight different tones of contour/highlight that would cater every skin tone, but do edge a little on the warm side for the most part. ![]() The packaging is sleek, elegant and simple and the pan sizes are good. So, so far, I had high hopes that this would be the product for me. The pans don’t have those weird greasy marks like a lot of cheaper cream products do, and they felt nice under my finger tips when I had a quick swatch. So, when I saw that Max Factor had come out with a new contour kit, I thought I might as well pick it up, give it a go, and see whether I could – once and for all – master the skill that’s been escaping my grasp.Ĭalled their Miracle Contouring Palette, it comes with 8 shades perfect for chiselling out those cheeks to the best of your ability. Other than that, I’m a powdered contour user all the way. I use my Collection Contour Stick (a cream stick contour which I love), but that’s pretty much the only one I’ve been able to get along with. It’s a skill I’ve never really been able to master and one I’ve always hoped to be able to say I could do. ![]() OK, I have to admit first and foremost, I’m terrible at cream contouring. ![]()
