Contouring is a technique that involves creating the shape and correcting the relief of your face using pigments that are 1-2 shades darker or lighter than your actual skin color. Unlike everyday foundation and concealer, which usually match our skin exactly, the essence of contouring is to create the effect of shadow and light. To create this technique, you will need a contouring brush and an understanding of what sculpting the face should be. WOBS talks in detail about the stages of applying contouring and the tools that will help you with this.
How to buy a contouring brush: choosing the right bristles and shape
Contouring is meant to enhance your natural facial shape, so it is unique to each person, depending on your bone structure and the shape of your face. However, the basic rules are common to all:
Prepare your face. Wash your skin and apply moisturizer. Primer is optional, but it is recommended for complex makeup. Even out your skin with a small amount of foundation and/or concealer in shades that match your natural skin tone and undertone. To do this, we recommend purchasing a face contouring brush, namely the W3035 round synthetic concealer and concealer brush from Vobs . - The easiest and most well-known way to contour is to take a darker shade and use it to create a shadow under your cheekbones. Depending on your face shape and unique features, you can place your shadow in one of three places: along your nose; in a “3” shape that follows your hairline, under your cheekbones, and jawline; or in an inverted triangle shape that frames your cheeks. If you’re looking for face contouring brushes for this step, the W3227 Taklon Round Eyeshadow, Concealer, and Concealer Brush is a great choice.
- Apply a lighter shade or highlighter to areas of your face that naturally reflect light: forehead, bridge of the nose, tip of the nose, upper cheekbones, cupid's bow, and around the eyes and brow bone. A slanted contouring brush is a good way to apply this pigment.
- Applying blush to the apples of your cheeks is not necessary for contouring, but it can help your makeup look more natural and fresh. The best model for this step would be the W3514 Goat Bristle Blush and Concealer Brush .
- Since you're working with shades that don't match your skin tone, blending the pigments is especially important. The large, fluffy contouring stick blends shadows and highlights into the skin until the lines you create look more natural.
