1. Before contouring, consider baking your face. This forms a barrier on top of your foundation that allows you to add colors, blend, and buff out.
2. Using an angled brush, contour your face. This produces a symmetrical and accurate shape and aids in the creation of a properly sculpted face without straining.
3. Powder contour is the easiest to apply for novices, but liquid and cream treatments are fantastic after you've mastered the technique.
4. When it comes to contouring, less is more. Rather of applying product all over your forehead, for example, it's now common practice to apply a few dots along your hairline and blend them in.
5. Lip contouring will be popular in 2023. Line your lips with a pencil shade darker than your lipstick to create the illusion of larger, more sensuous lips.
Make a contrast between the pencil and the lipstick, but avoid using two colors that are drastically different. They should seem balanced while yet giving the impression of a larger fat.
6. Iridescent highlighting will be a prominent trend this year, with the purpose of making the skin seem nearly mirror-like. Bronzers are stepping back to allow highlighters to shine.
Place highlighter strategically on your top cheekbones, along the bridge of your nose, and even around your jawline.
