Cream Contour
Cream Contour
Sculpt your appearance to soften or emphasize features using cream contour. Contouring and highlighting products help give you a more glamorous appearance by enhancing luminosity or shadowing to alter the way your face looks in just a few minutes.
Where to Apply Cream Contour
Contouring looks more subtle yet produces the greatest impact when limited to certain areas. Specific areas you may want to work on include your:
Cheeks
Nose
Forehead
Chin
Applying highlighter to your cheekbones can help emphasize their shape and make them appear more prominent, while bronceador placed directly underneath your cheeks can further enhance the effect. This type of look is used frequently on runways and for photo shoots.
Highlighting the bridge of your nose and adding extra shadowing to its sides can help make it appear thinner or smaller. The same thing happens if you apply cream contour makeup to your forehead or chin. In general, contouring the cheeks benefits most people, but the application of highlights or shadows elsewhere should be limited to personal preference and individual face shape.
How to Use Cream Contour
Cream contour is easy to apply with a little practice. To use it, pick up a little product with a pincel para maquillaje, and apply sparingly to the area of your face you'd like to highlight or shadow. Sweep bronzer gently along the hollows of your cheeks, hairline and jaw. Apply highlighter to the high points of your face, wherever you want to add extra illumination and prominence.
One of the best cream contour products to simplify the application is a palette such as e.l.f's cream contour palette o NYX's Conceal Correct Contour palette. These products include various highlighter and bronzer shades, which may also make them the best cream contour for fair skin as you can mix and match to find your ideal color easily.
How to Blend Cream Contour
One of the best ways to achieve a more flawless finish after you've completed contouring is to blend the highlights and shadows you've created. An easy method to do this is to take a powder brush o blender sponge and tap the contoured areas gently in a circular motion to diffuse the highlighter and bronzer into your foundation seamlessly.
If the weather is particularly hot and humid or you'd like your makeup to last longer, consider finishing your look with a setting powder. These products help lock your makeup in place, preventing contoured areas from smudging or shifting over the day.
