FOTD: Contour & Contrast

I bought this month’s Simply Her because its been awhile since I update myself with the latest beauty and fashion trends.  Apart from that, I’ve always been an avid reader of women’s magazine.

I love checking out the pretty and cute items writers have sourced out for their readers. And this time around, I decided to try out one of their makeup tutorials for Spring.

Contour and contrast

Steps:

1. Apply highlighter on areas where the light hits your face, like the browbones, cheekbones, nose bridge and the centre of the chin.
2. Use a bronzer or brown-toned blusher to shade under the cheekbones and along the jawline.
3. Rim all around the eyes with brown eyeshadow and apply two coats of mascara.
4. Slick on neutral lipstick and top it off with a touch of gloss – Lips shouldn’t be high-shine or shimmery.

Honestly, by far, this is one of the easiest makeup tutorial I’ve followed. I had to improvise a step or two but I think the outcome is close to what was featured in the magazine.

This is what I use for my face. Bear in mind that it is the recession, makeup used might be from previous seasons. It’s the only ones I have now. Hehee..

• Liquid foundation – Clinique Supermoisture Makeup #66
• Maybelline Clear Smooth Shine Free Face Powder in Natural
• Thin Lizzy 6 in 1 Profession Powder (Light) – Product of New Zealand (Best used if you want an effect of a slimmer and sharper face)

• MAC Sheertone Shimmer Blush in Peachtwist
• Revlon Illuminance Creme Shadow Limited Edition 10 shade palette – Brown
• Thin Lizzy Eyeliner – Brown
• CoverGirl LashBlast – Black

Whoah! That’s a long list. Hehehee..
