Hello Glam Dolls,
Welcome back to another post. This is
going to be part one of a few blog posts about contouring and
highlighting. I love to contour and highlight. It completely
transforms your face and when I have a nice contour going on I feel
so much more confident...and glam too.
Today I want to focus on what I use
when I cream contour and highlight. I use many of things, but the
ones I am going to mention are my go to products. Like I said, there
will me many posts discussing this topic.
Something that a lot of people use to
cream contour with are the Maybelline New York Fit Me Shine Free
Foundation Sticks. I really love the way these look. They give you a
very natural contour without being over done. They blend very easily
and last for a really long time. I always apply a light coverage
foundation on my face before using these, and always make sure to set
them with a powder of your choice.
Contour color: 340 Cappuccino
Highlight Color: 110 Porcelain
Keep in mind that when it comes to
highlighting and contouring, the colors that best suit me may not be
right for you. They have a good range of colors to choose from so
just be patient, play around, and find what color looks best on you.
Two other products I really love to
use are the Flower Cosmetics Skincognito Stick Foundations. They are
highly pigmented and pretty full coverage, so if you want to apply a
foundation underneath that is entirely up to you and how dramatic you
want your makeup to be. When I want a more glam contour and something
more noticeable I use these two products. I also only use very little of the contour color at a time. It is very dark and highly pigmented.
Contour Color: SF8
Highlight Color: SF1
I have fair skin, so unless I am going
for a really dramatic contour I tend to stay away from deep contour
shades. If you are fair skinned as well, remember if your contour
color is too dark it can come off as looking muddy and you do not
want that.
When I self tan I only get a few shades darker, so the colors I use on a day to day basis still work on me :)
All of the products I have mentioned
are extremely affordable and easy to get your hands on.
Part two to this series will be all
about highlighting concealers and highlighting powders.
I hope that you are all having a great
Monday and be sure to follow me on twitter and instagram
@kategoesglam. I look forward to talking with you all.

love the fit me sticks they are great and so easy to work with n even if you do get a shade too light or dark for your contour and highlight shades you usually can make it work I also had to you around a bit I found the shades that works best for me which is 110 porcelain and 330 toffee and I love to see you talking about flower beauty products I've been wanting to try them and those sticks look creamy and very pigmented I have to pick them up next time I go to the store which is tomorrow and I never can leave empty handed!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for commenting girl. I want to play around with a few more shades, maybe trying to mix a few different colors to come up with a contour shade. Let me know when you try flower out. I would love to know what you think. xoxo
