A different way to contour your face

Friday, 23 August 2013

My poor MAC matte bronze bronzing powder has been used for it's last now, it's now an empty metal pan in a compact but it has served me well and has lasted me since Christmas as my absolute favorite bronzing powder.
However, this time on I'm not wiser and more aware about what I'm looking fro in a bronzer and what is convenient for my lifestyle. With a pressed powder I would always be terrified of them smashing in moving, which may sound like a problem that a normal person would have to think about maybe once a year, but I pack up my makeup probably thirty times a year to stay at my sisters, friends, uni, back home again and on and on that goes and every time I sacrifice the safety of my bronzing powder for the need to have a contoured face, but luckily it survived every pack.
Nonetheless, on reflection for my new bronzer I wanted something travel friendly and compact that does the job and I happened to find just the thing!

 

The Nyx 'as if it's your natural skin' concealer stick in shade Dark!
It's in a convenient twist up pen that I can just swipe on where I like and blend with a clean finger. It's a beautiful warm colour on my skin that is just great as a subtle contour daily.


I may look a little freaky when first applied but I promise it blends out to look like beautiful bronzed perfection!

If you want a little help with where to bronze or if you really hate this idea and just want to contour the classic way then take a little looky at an oldie but a goodie video of mine!

Fat face!

I will be the first to admit that I do not have the most slender of faces, so one of the first things I learnt to love about makeup is how it can create the illusion of a thinner face and a nicer nose, because that's all that makeup is, one whole illusion!

So contouring my face, espcially my cheekbones (I always wanted a pair of lovely cheekbones) is a technique I've been perfecting and adding to since the day I discovered what bronzing powder is!

Here I share it all with you, as well as the quickest, most painless nose job ever!



 

My next top tip that if you pair this video with my 'how to highlight' video coming next then you will have skin that has been contoured and highlighted to perfection!
