How to contour?

Contouring is a makeup technique used to create shadows and highlights that accentuate the natural features of your face. By applying darker shades to specific areas, like under the cheekbones and along the jawline, you can add depth and definition. Done correctly, it can even make you appear several pounds lighter. Who wouldn't want that, right?

Highlighter, on the other hand, brings out the bright points, such as above the cheekbones and the bridge of the nose. This combination creates a structured, balanced, and radiant face, highlighting your best features.

With the handy Contour Glamour palette, you have all the shades you need for an easy, quick daily makeup look.

Here's how to contour with Cent Pur Cent's Contour Glamour palette.

5 simple steps

  • Step 1: prepping

    Start with clean, moisturized skin. Apply a primer to create a smooth base. Then, apply foundation in the shade that best matches your skin tone.

  • Step 2: Contouring

    Next, use the darkest contour shade from the Contour Glamour Peach palette to add color and depth. Apply the powder under your cheekbones, along your jawline, and at your hairline, following the '3' motion. For precise application, use the Cent Pur Cent (Big) Fan brush, and blend well for a natural effect.
