Contouring & Highlighting - Technical File

Equipment required:-
  • Cotton wool pads
  • Cotton buds
  • Make-up brushes
  • Spatulas
  • Towel
  • Clip to hold back the models hair

Products required:-
  • Cleanser
  • Toner
  • Moisturiser
  • Illuminator
  • Tinted moisturiser
  • Kryolan foundation palette
  • Kryolan concealer
  • Illamasqua loose powder
  • Contouring powder
  • Highlighting powder from Kryolan glamour glow palette
  • Blusher
  • Bronzer

Preparing the models skin:-
  • Deeply cleanse the whole face with cotton pads to remove all the make-up, do this a few times until you feel the face is clean
  • Apply toner to the face to remove any excess product left on the face
  • Moisturise the whole face massaging it in properly so it absorbs into the skin 

Step by step:-
  • Apply Illuminator on to the face
  • Apply a small amount of tinted moisturiser on the face using a foundation brush
  • Apply a small amount of the correct colour foundation the the models face using a foundation brush
  • Blend it all in gently using a stippling brush
  • Apply a slightly darker concealer under the cheek bones and blend it. Do the same around the hair and jaw line using a flat brush
  • Apply a small amount of loose translucent powder across the t-section of the face using a kabuki brush
  • Apply a small amount of coloured powder across the face, again using a kabuki brush
  • Using a blusher brush apply shadows to the face on the cheek bones, around the hairline and across the jaw line with a contouring powder and then blend
  • Use a highlighting powder at the top of the cheek bones, in the cupid bow, on the chin, across the inner brow and slightly down the nose
  • Apply a small amount of shimmer to give shine around the highlighted areas
  • Using a blusher brush apply a bit of blush to the round part of the cheeks and blend it in
  • Apply bronzer across the cheek bones to define them
I was very happy with  my overall look for contouring and highlighting. I feel the contour really gave shape and enhanced the facial structure and the highlighting gave it a shimmery glow and really made certain features stand out.
