In every era, or moreover in every season there is a new change in the way we apply our make-up. For instance, in the 9Os, the glossy lips, crazy eyeshadow look was the bomb. As years went out, the make up world soon began to take note of how to create the "perfect face". Its all quite simple really, we beautify ourselves to hide away our flaws and to simply look better. With the help of all our makeup stores, from Inglot to Bobbi Brown we all have our own store alongside brand we feel most comfortable in. We even have makeup consultants which help us achieve the glowing look we all want. All we have to is ask, its great right. Well thats until you have to achieve the perfect look at home. An everyday look is remarkly different to a going out look; well it should be. Simply because if you do your makeup everyday as if you were heading out, you would sadly look the same all the time! Enough talking about the word makeup and more talk about the makeup world. Each week, I'm going to talk about a makeup essential and a superb brand along with it. Last week I talked about Mac lipsticks, this week Anastasia Beverly Hills contour kit. At the end of each month, I'm going to do a suprise raffle with one of these makeup brands, in which one lucky winner will recieve. Exciting right? As myself and Cara Pharmacy have themed up together this will certainly will be an exciting pathway into the beauty world. As I'm more of a pro of fashion rather than makeup, its safe to say I cant wait to learn all about it along with you guys!! X
How to achieve the correct contour by using the famous Anastasia Beverly Hills:
Firstly you can get this palette online at +Anastasia Beverly Hills or in Dublin in BT. The palette consists of six shades, thats three for highlighting & three for contouring. In colours such as peach, nutmeg & expresso.
When wanting to achieve a define look, giving a slim look upon your face follow this graph. The light cream on your cheekbones, chin & higher brow give a sharp structure followed by a darker cream on your nose and lower cheekbones. When you apply this over your foundation, blend it in slowly giving way to the new shape of your face. Don't over mix or use different brushes, as it tends to give your face a "dirty over-layer look".When you have come this far, dab a small bit of a white cream under your brow bones, this distinguishes a better brow shape and eye glaze towards your face.

You all probably think, using any contour kit is the same. Well think of it this way, same theory can go for an foundation, bronzer or tan right? Its always better to go for a well known brand, a brand you see mentioned a lot by experts in the make up industry. As many Hollywood celebs like the Kardashians tend to use contouring daily; they all greatly talk & admire Anastasia B.H. Because of this, we want to look and achieve their look without any hesitation.Contouring can be used through a wax cream or powder. Personally I prefer the cream as my facial tones suit it better, but everybody's skin tones are different.
Depending on your face size & structure this contouring chart should give you a better understanding towards applying your contour. Following the steps charted above, you should achieve the flawless look similar to our contour queens Kim K.
