Why Your Contour Isn’t Working (Yet)

If your makeup feels “almost there” but never quite finished—check your contour. It’s not just about adding shadow. It’s about intention, product, and placement. Step 1: Know your goal. Do you want a sharper jawline? A taller nose bridge? A more sculpted eye socket? Define your goal before you pick up the brush. Step 2: Pick the right product. Cream contours are beginner-friendly—blendable, forgiving, and skin-like. I start with a cream for shape, then layer a powder to lock and enhance after base makeup. This combo prevents it from disappearing under foundation. Step 3: Placement and technique. For the nose: fine lines beside the bridge, blend softly, highlight the center. For the eyes: a soft shadow at the socket line adds depth. For the chin: contour the outer edge, highlight the tip if you want length. Contour isn’t just a trick—it’s structure. Learn your face, then shape it with purpose. #beauty #makeup #contour
