After seeing Kim Kardashian revel her makeup artists contouring secrets, suggesting that she isn’t actually totally perfect (just about 99.9%). We were all straight onto YouTube tutorial’s to reproduce Kim’s killer cheekbones.

I’m the first to admit I avail of a bit of contouring, it can emphasize your best features and disguise your worst. Though some people do take it to the extreme! The only time I would really use extreme contouring is when I’m doing a shoot. If you think of it this way your out on a night out with your full on contouring which has completely transformed your face, to give you super model looks,  you meet Mr Right or Mr Right now, he thinks your stunning, the next day when he sees you “Au natural “ he thinks wtf happened to my Scandinavian model with the perfect bone structure.

Today I’m going to contour my face using Karaja virtual beauty compact powders in no.1 & no.2. When you use a powder its a more natural take on contouring.

Virtual beauty No. 1 is a compact trio - white, pink and lavender - this can be used for high lightening your best features, it can also be used as a powder to seal your foundation as it is very finely milled it doesn't emphasize any fine lines or pores.

 Virtual beauty No. 2 is also a compact trio - cream, beige and tan - this can be use for disguising your not so good features.

A few point s to remember when contouring

1.        Apply contouring powder No. 2 (darker on the outside and working light as you move away from the hairline. Shading the edge of the hairline will frame you face and if you, like myself don’t have the perfect 3 finger forehead (more like a 5 finger) it will minimize the size. 

“Au Natural”me before contouring

2.        A good tip that helps me when i’m contouring the face is always try and make an oval face, therefore contouring out any sharp edges.

3.        Always highlight in the triangle of light above.

4.        Use Virtual Beauty No. 2 on the things you want to disguise

        5. Use virtual Beauty No. 1 on the areas you want to emphasize.
