Today we're going to learn how to contour with the beautiful Shashi Naidoo. Shashi is known to South Africa as one of the most beautiful women, as well as actress, television presenter and fashion blogger of Shashi's Closet. After seeing Shashi's Instagram post on contouring, I requested if I could share it with my readers, and she gladly agreed...
So over to Shashi Naidoo, and let us begin contouring!
"Contouring your face helps define your features, creating the appearance
of higher cheekbones and a slimmer nose and chin."
Here's a few easy
steps on how to do it:
STEP 1: Start with foundation the colour of your skin. Using a foundation the
same colour as your skin evens your skin tone and provides a base you
can build upon when you contour using lighter and darker shades.
Contouring your face without first applying foundation is more
difficult, since skin tends to be uneven in colour. Your face could end
up looking patchy instead of smooth and contoured.
STEP 2: Get foundation a few shades lighter than your skin. Facial contouring
consists of highlighting places you want to stand out, and shading
places you want to recede. For your highlighting product, you need
foundation that's about two shades paler than your base foundation.
STEP 3: Choose a foundation a few shades darker than your skin. The darker tone
will be used to shade the parts of your face that you want to draw
attention away from. You'll be creating strategic shadows that make your
cheekbones appear sharper and your chin more narrow.
STEP 4: Get a good blending brush. Since your face will be wearing several
different shades, it's important to get a good blending brush. If the
different colours aren't well-blended your makeup will look unnatural.
Go for one with natural bristles to leave the softest-looking finish.
STEP 5: Look fabulous!
