Products: Maybelline dream liquid mousse(mixed 1:3 with sunscreen because I didn't want full coverage and I burn like toast), Too-faced no-makeup makeup palette, Mac eyeshadow in shroom and retrospek, brown kohl eyeliner
I just did a very generic contour, nothing face shape based, so if anyone has an idea on places that would be better contoured differently, I'm curious to hear about it :)
Thanks for any advice also on contouring in general!

Cute. Your makeup looks great...I just probably wouldn't have notified it was contoured unless you pointed it out. It's very subtle.

Thanks everybody!
And yeah everything is pretty subtle here... I didn't want to look like I had lines under my cheeks. Maybe I'll go a little bolder next time now that I see how it works. I also used a powder bronzer instead of a dark foundation for the contour so maybe I'll try something a little more concentrated next time. Can't go wrong if you blend well, right?

Haha thanks! My hair has grown out a lot and I've been debating whether I want to cut it the same way or let it transition to a bob. Decisions decisions!

I reckon the short hair looks great I would cut it shorter haha plus its so much less maintainence then long hair haha :)

Haha is it? I find that I change my styling strategy every couple weeks when my hair is that short because a little added length makes such a huge difference in weight and texture and the layers. Then again that means I get to switch it up often :)

Haha trust me much less maintenance you don't use as much shampoo/conditioner/products and styling takes up soo much more time when its long haha if you like the weight in your hair get it thinned only at the ends :)
