Ok so I got a contour palette for fun, and I just wanted to play around with it, so I was wondering if any of you guys know any tips for contouring, and how to do it...

There was a great video in the editorial section here a few weeks ago, I suggest looking at that!

Tips for contouring, the right product makes all of the difference and you only need a little to work with and intensify it if you want a more noticible contour but over all a contour should be seamless, jackie recommended me the KA contour brush and it madea huge difference she told me I wanted a more stiffer (I don't think thats the word I'm looking for but you will get what I'm saying once I'm done lol) brush because a lose one will just dust powder all over the face and you want to be in control of the product, as for placement it all depends on face shape I would ask jackie or alma for help on this 😊

I use a brush similar to this to contour and thn blend it out with a foundation brush. Start off with lighter contour and work your way up to bolder contouring as you get confortable.

Try to have a light hand to begin. when your finish set it with a setting powder.

Contouring is creating a shadow / illusion. You should use more grey/ashy colours to create the shadow on your cheekbones for example. Remember - dark always makes things look smaller and white makes things look bigger (just like black pants make your butt look smaller and white pants make your butt look bigger) x
