Highlighting and contouring bring back definition and shape to the face, especially after you’ve created a beautiful, flawless blank canvas with your foundation. As liquid and cream bases dominate, cream contours work well on top without adding too much powderiness and again, they can be “erased” and dialed down in the event one overapplies! Cream-based products are more forgiving for anyone new to contouring, so they’re a great starting point. You can also contour with bronzer for a warmer, subtler effect if preferred.īefore Contouring / After Contouring (using NARS Radiant Cream Compact Foundation)įor the demonstration, I’m contouring with cream foundation, as it is an easy way to achieve seamless, blended contours and highlights as they can easily be sheered out, blended out, or layered for the perfect combination.
