What is it, how do you do it and is it necessary?
It is my hope that this blog puts all the questions to rest.
Simply put. Contouring is using either a darker shade of powder or liquid makeup much darker than your skin tone and is used to shade or make darker particular parts of the face that you want to be less visible / blurred / not focused on.
Example: I have a round face with a little extra skin under my chin. Once I contour this, my face then tends to appear more oval in shape and my extra skin a little less noticeable.
I should state though, that contouring was created and made popular by men in drag "Drag Queens" it is done to make their facial features appear softer, more feminine. So please note that you need to be careful with contouring because if it is done too harshly you can look very scary.
That being said, Yes one should contour is you want your features to be enhanced but beware of a heavy hand.
So my beauty followers I release thee, go forth and contour.
Look out for part two of this blog which focuses on highlighting.
