I contour my cheeks daily as I do not have very good cheekbones. But lately I've been doubting whether it actually looks natural or too much? Opinions would be lovely & any tips to improve? Thanks guys! :)x

I used a loreal true match foundation in a darker shade to outline my cheekbone, then I blended it and then further blended with I'm sure it was the sleek contour kit, it can be quite choppy sometimes though, benefits hoola works much more smoothly and blends beautifully:)x

Looks really nice! But it looks a little like you have blended it a little too much in the direction of your nose. If you know what I mean, haha. (:

Here is my Honest opinion,^ Agree with Mikayla about the sucking cheeks in,If wanting a true answer to your question you must give a true picture without the pucker face.When it comes to a true finish with contour you can't make a face because to an artist eye we catch those things and if honest opinion is what you want then here is mine and hope this helps you.I see a line and it looks like you brought it down to the corner of your mouth and it's not blended.The key is to not have visible lines or be brought down that far because in reality are you going to walk around making that face all day? No so when not smiling all you'll see is lines going down your face and that is something you want to prevent.(It's the Illusion Of contour Not the Obvious of contour) You mentioned your adding a dark foundation then the sleek Contour? What color Sleek contour are you using? when trying to contour you need just one product to achieve the grey tone shadowing, not both it gives to much of a strong makeup line and look.Is your sleek a grey tone?

That looks like a bronzer like some products tend to do is sell bronzers and try to pass them as contour kits so be aware.Some companies are making a huge profit on the hype of contour and highlighting demands that they will sell bronzers and slap a contour label on it usually it's the Low cost cosmetic's companies that are more ideal to people that may not know better it's sad.Contour powder should have a grey Tone to it and as for hoola that is indeed a bronzer as well and that is why it looks harsh.I say this so you may understand from a person who does makeup.Here is a link to my thread I made a while back to explain everything about the correct products to use and how to use it.I'm sure you'll have a better understanding :)
