I haven't done a contour before! I think it looks really nice :) do you have any pictures of your skin time before? Your forehead looks quite dark, but the cheeks look beautiful in my opinion, whether the contour is right or not

It's pretty good! I just recommend blending and maybe using less product because its kinda patchy on your forehead. and maybe raise the contour of your cheek a bit higher again with less product. it should look natural. I really like he highlight though. what product did you use for the contour and highlight?
btw good job:)

For the cheek I meant that its kinda too long of a contour. it shouldnt go so low :P.

On the cheeks it's right below my cheek bone and that's where it's suppose to go. At least that's what I was told an read at many recourses.

I don't like it when people say to go off of random pictures, simply because they are overdramatic visualizations that simply do not work on every face shape... Lots aren't even done correctly. Anyway, when contouring your are trying to create the illusion of having a more oval like shaped face. So since not everyone has the same head or face, it is impractical to use one "universal model". I will post the pics from a recent thread in which Jackie explains face shape and how to contour accordingly. Then you can try to self assess. Just remember to be honest with yourself, and ask for help if you can't figure anything out.:)))))

Sorry if you don't agree. I just feel like the contour on the cheek sits low...
