Can someone link me to a detailed tutorial for contouring? I'd like to make my cheeks appear more hollowed..

thanks!!

Hey I'm originally from MA, too! Moved over the boarder though ;)

Here's one by Petrilude (he's so amazing): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqCDhUsVwFw

Here's one xsparkage did a while ago :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdkLvBJJsEM

If you want a good book, Kevyn Aucoin was a master when it comes to contouring. Check out Making Faces. There's a great diagram!

I might have to go to Barnes and Noble tomorrow to check out that book! I know theres a nice bobbi brown one out there too :)

Make sure you're watching a video from someone with the same face shape/structure as you.

I agree with both Jasmines! Goss originally taught me how to contour, but we have different hollows on our cheeks, so I had to customize mine.

I do a makeup tutorial on how to make your face appear thinner and create cheekbones using highlighting a contouring - Check out this video on YouTube:

@Jessica Hahaha too funny! I'm in NH now ;) My mom's originally from up here. Hubs and I decided a few years ago we were ready for change and moved the kids over the border. Hope the tutorial trials went well!
