Yes, most days but not always
I think it looks good but it can sometimes look fake if overdone
Overall I do like it, it's just better when it's well executed (:

I don't personally contour - honestly because I never have enough time in the morning
I thinks contouring can look good, but only if its done really well, other wise it can look very fake.
So overall, I'm not the biggest fan of contouring

Yes I do
I think it looks good if done correctly and not applied all over the face
And I love contouring it looks very professional and adds glow back to the face :)

I do not contour.
I think it can look good on some people, particularly when done correctly. Not always fake looking.
On myself I do not like contouring, but on tanned or olive skin I think it looks nice.

I do contour if I am wearing a full coverage foundation as I feel they can make your face look a bit flat if you don't, however, I have seen some photos where I think people have taken contouring just a bit to far to the point that it doesn't look natural (but hey if thats the look they are going for then each to their own :-)) I do like contouring, but only if you need to.

Occasionally, yes.
It depends on the look, and whether they are going for a fake look on purpose or not. I honestly am in the middle.
I overall do like it, But if it is sloppy or otherwise just plain horrible and fake - NOT on purpose - , I wouldn't give it another glance.

I like contouring , I feel it can make or break someone's make up. I do ocassionally & I really like it.

I personally do not contour, but I love how it looks on some people. I think there is a very fine line between the faker look and something that is well done. I'm on the fence :)

Yup!
Good, only when done well! It's not that difficult actually, it's just that some people don't blend so it looks really unnatural... But if they dig that, then more power to them!
Love!

I contour & I love it...it can look ugly if you over do it,I like giving life to my face & a little dimension!

I don't contour my face. It really depends on how much product you use. Some girls cake it on and it looks VERY noticeable and not natural. Go for a natural look by only put a tiny bit on.

I don't contour because I dunno how to :( but will try to learn soon, from pictures I have seen then blending is really important if you want it to look real. I give contouring a thumbs up 👍

I don't contour (feel like I'm too pale so everything looks unnatural on me)
I find contouring looks best on medium or dark skin tones because the bronzer looks more natural. It can look really good but I have seen contouring gone wrong lol.
Overall, contouring is nice if done right.

I usually don't contour because I'm lazy.
I think it looks really nice, though. Unless it's overdone.
Overall, I'm a big fan of contouring.

I only wear makeup when the occasion requires it and the first thing I do is contour. I don't wear a face full of makeup. Just sculpt my face highlight the right areas and have a good lid and complementary lip. But if my cheeks are not contoured I will sit there and blend away until I have my desired look. I feel it changes the face not in a Kim kardashian way but gives the face a sexy slimming look. Yes contouring!!

I used to contour my nose because its flat lol I think I am going to start again its just extra in a makeup routine. I don't think countours look fake well only if it is very noticeable and I like it it just takes time which sucks lol great idea btw.

How do you contour a round face with literally no cheekbones??
Sep 22, 2013
Glenda G.
I contour everyday. I think I look dead with out it lol it gives my face a shape that I like under my cheek bones. usually I'll do a matte brown contour and sometimes when I go out ill add blush on the apples of my cheeks.
but every girl is different some don't even contour and still look good!!
