Contouring and highlighting is a makeup sensation that has taken over the past 2 years. The purpose of contouring and highlighting is to slender the face, and to enhance the facial features. Contouring is done with a shade that is 2-3 times darker than your skin tone. This adds definition and depth to your face. Highlighting is done with a lighter shade that is 2-3 lighter than your skin tone. Highlight and contouring can be done using a powder or a cream, or even both combined. The Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit has gotten makeup fame. ABH has to contour kits, A powder and a cream. Contouring is placed on the outer portions of the forehead, as well as the cheek bones, under the lip, and under the jaw bone. The highlight color is placed on the middle of the forehead, under the eyes, and under the cheek bones. It can also be placed on the chin. This is just a general description of where the shades are usually placed. This will change according to your face shape. Nose contouring is also very popular. You use the contour shade on the outer part of the nose, and the highlight on the inside of the contour color along the bridge of the nose. This makes the appearance of a smaller or shorter nose. These shades are blended so that the transition is seamless and so you do not have any lines anywhere left on the face. I do not contour and highlight everyday, but I do like to sometimes because I like for my cheek bones to be more prominent, and contouring gives them that appearance. Highlighting and contouring definitely isn't an everyday thing, but it is good when you are going for that full face, beat look.
