3 Things to Avoid If You Want Your Makeup Contour to Stand Out

Dream - Contour, blush, and highlighter are used to create a more dimensional face. It is recommended not to use them excessively for a more natural result.

Especially when using a thin base makeup. The contour application technique should also be precise to ensure that it stands out and is not overshadowed by other makeup products.

There are several important things to consider when contouring the face. Avoid the things mentioned by Makeup Artist (MUA) @aidamua_ to keep the contour looking natural.

1. Contour Color Too Light

Using a contour color that is too light will make the makeup look less natural, especially if it has a different undertone than your skin. Use a contour color that matches your skin undertone and is 1-2 shades darker than your skin.

2. Applying Contour Too Thinly

Control the amount of contour used to avoid it being too thick or thin. You can use a moderate amount of cream contour to ensure it is still visible when layered with base makeup.

3. Using a Lighter Compact Powder Shade

Layer cream contour with a compact powder of a similar shade to set the makeup and make it look natural. Apply it with a small brush for easier blending.

Using powder contour or a dark-colored powder is crucial to prevent the color from fading and smudging easily, ensuring that the face stays fresh.
