Kardashian-esque Contouring - How to....

Contouring is huge right now and doesn’t show any signs of going away so this is just a quick blog on how to achieve the Kardashian Contour!

What you will need:

A concealer 2 shades lighter than your skin tone

Bronzer (preferably a cream based bronzer)

Foundation

Blusher

Highlighter

Loose Powder

Brushes

What I use:

Bobbi Brown Correcter

Chanel Soleil de Tan (I still struggle not to call it Bronze Universal!!)

Dior AirFlash Foundation

Dior Rosy Glow Blush

Bobbi Brown Shimmer brick in Rose Quartz

Get the look:

1.       Your skin should already be cleansed and moisturised at this point if it isn’t do it now! Start by applying the concealer to the high points of your face. These are: down the centre of your nose going up between your brows on the forehead, under the eyes and over cheek bones take it right out to the outside of the face and on your chin. Don’t be afraid to apply the concealer quite heavily.

2.       Next take your bronzer and apply it the hollow of your cheeks (just under the cheek bones), from the outer corner of the brow to the temple and up along your hairline on your forehead, along you jaw line and on the outside of your nose. Again apply quite heavily. The reason I like to use a cream based bronzer is because it blends allot easier than a powder bronze would.

3.       At this point you should have something that looks like this...... I know it looks quite strange but bear with it by the end you will look amazing.

4.       Now apply your foundation all over the face and really blend it in so there are no harsh lines.

5.       After applying the foundation use the pressed powder over the areas that you applied the concealer. You want to press to powder on the skin as this will ensure that the concealer will stay in place and wont crease.

6.       Finally apply a pink blusher to the apples over the cheeks and the highlighter along the cheek bones, and your contouring is complete!

If this is for an evening look team it with a dark Smokey eye and a nude lip to get a look like this.....

And for a daytime look I like to wear it with a bold lip to achieve a look like this.....
