Contouring has changed from being what once was a scary
application, restricted by use for professional make up artists, to now
becoming a staple in the majority of make up lovers’ day to day make up
routine.
With contour sticks, wands, creams and powders – it has
become more accessible to find the product that works best for you. As a make
up junkie, I have honestly tried nearly every contouring method out there, but I
have found my HOLY GRAIL method and product that I feel beats the rest!
…And it’s using the Maybelline Dream Cushion Foundation in
Shade 60 (Caramel) which is the darkest shade in the collection.
I got my hands on this product on a whim as Maybelline had
their usual 3 for 2 or 3 for £15 offer at Superdrug and after purchasing my favourite
concealer and mascara from the brand, I was drawn to this product and thought
why not use it for a contour?!
Method:
Using a small make up sponge which I cut into a triangle
shape, I dab some of the product on to my sponge from the cushion and press it
into the areas that are in need of some refining and shaping. Typically, this
are just under my cheek bones, long my forehand and under my jaw line. (I don’t
usually contour my nose, however even if I did I feel this may not work as well
on that area.)
After a few seconds of pressing the product into my skin,
the foundation blends effortlessly with my foundation and gives me an even,
subtle finish. The foundation is super blendable so going in with another layer
is really easy. The product is lightweight and so easy to work with – which is
why it’s perfect for everyday.
For days when I want to go in for a deeper, stronger contour
I top this off with a light application of the NYX Contour Palette to really add
some depth and it helps set everything in place!
I honestly couldn’t recommend this product more and I love
the confusion on everyone’s face when they ask me how I manage to contour every
single day!
