Hello Girls!!💖
Coffee, Contour and Confidence is all that we need!! 💁 Contouring is like addiction to me, once you start with it, you cannot do without it! Thanks to Kim Kardashian, she has made contouring and highlighting so important in our lives along with making our contouring goals more stronger and sharper!! 😄Contouring, a technique previously reserved for models and fancy shoots, is now a basic everyday routine in every girls life. It’s simply giving shape to an area of the face and enhancing the facial structure through makeup. A bronzer blush is used to add on your jaw lines, creating an illusion and thus making them look sharper! How amazing makeup is! isn’t it? It can do wonders!!
Contouring and Highlighting are like chocolate syrup and vanilla, great together and they go hand in hand. Highlighting (strobing) is basically adding light to your face and thus accentuating your face. Contouring and highlighting areas differ from face to face due to different face shapes.
