CONTOURING MAGIC: HOW TO CONTOUR ON DEEPER SKIN
Backstage secrets: revealed.
The process of contouring on deeper skin tones is nearly identical to contouring on lighter skin tones. The only difference is the type of product used; the formulas are higher in color payoff, and you tend to use more highlighter than contour. In this tutorial, we show you what products to use for a cheekbone-defining look. BECKY PEDERSON
STEP ONE
Prep your face with a moisturizing and a lightweight foundation. Then, once you know your face shape, place your highlighter. Choose a highlighter that’s rich in pigment and offers full coverage—this will read best on your skin.
STEP TWO
Place your contour product. When choosing a shade, avoid taupe and beige undertones. You want something that offers warmth and richness, like what you’d find in a bronzer.
STEP THREE
Use your brush to blend in a patting motion. It’s easier to first blend the highlighter into the skin before you blend the contour into the highlighter, as you’ll get better definition.
STEP FOUR
Finish with a translucent powder. Use a pressing motion so you don’t sweep any of your makeup away. Make sure you hit your T-zone and under your eyes, as those spots tend to get the oiliest.

MAC Soft Serve Eyeshadow Swatches

MAC Soft Serve Eyeshadow Swatches Here’s a really quick post with swatches from 10 shades in the MAC Soft Serve eyeshadow collection. Now these bounch creams do remind me a little (a lot) of Chanel Illusion d’Ombres and Dior Fusion Monos in overall look. Application and pay-off wise, they are probably closer to the Diors, and not as pigmented or as multi-dimensional as some of the Chanels tend to be. Then again, they are US$22 - you can’t really complain about the difference in pigments. (Pricing and launch dates to be advised in Singapore.) I did have fun layering several of them together for the eye look above, and I only used my fingers; no brushes. As you can see the effect is pretty subtle. Inner half of lids - Girls’Girls! Outer half of lids - Put Me To Shame Socket line - Quite Yummy Brow bone - So so saucy Outer corners and lower lash line - Softened Up Inner corners / tear duct - Big Bad Blue Lasting-power wise, I will say they work just as well as an...

TOO FACED ‘BORN THIS WAY’ CONCEALER SWATCHES

TOO FACED ‘BORN THIS WAY’ CONCEALER SWATCHES This week I received the entire range of the  Too Faced ‘Born This Way’ concealers. There are 10 shades in the collection, varying from the lightest colour ‘very fair’ to the darkest shade ‘deep’. So no matter your skin tone you will find a suitable match within this selection.  The consistency of these concealers are creamy and smooth - not too thick nor too runny, they’ve got it just right!  I’ve had a brief play with these but I really need to test them out on more clients with varying degrees of skin pigmentation to gain a more concise view as to whether they are as good as they claim.  So far though, I am impressed with them. I personally don’t have dark circles, but the formula does cover my breakouts when they occur. Having tried them under my eyes I was pleased with the results in the respect that the product does not sit in fine lines, nor does it make the eyes appear crepey like many concea...

CONTOURING MAGIC: HOW TO CONTOUR YOUR HEART-SHAPED FACE Learn to wield expert tricks of the shade. Heart-shaped faces have wider foreheads that taper toward the chin. In this tutorial, we show you how to use contour products to minimize your forehead while maximizing your jawline. This easy, everyday look balances out your face while emphasizing your cheekbones. BECKY PEDERSON STEP ONE Highlight the high points of your face. For a heart-shaped face, those points are your jawline, the bridge of your nose, under your eyes, the tops of your cheeks, the corners of your mouth, and the center of your forehead. STEP TWO Contour to offset your highlighter. Make sure you’ve selected a brown shade with a grey undertone so it looks like a shadow, not one tinged with orange or red (like you’d find in a bronzer). Apply the product down your hairline toward your temples, under your chin, under your cheekbones, and down the sides of your nose. STEP THREE Blend, beginning with your ...
