Cream Contour Tutorial
Contouring is one of the best kept secrets thats out of the box! It is my favorite trick to use when doing makeup for events. I love to enhance features of the face by contouring, but it can be hard finding the best products to use. Today I have compiled a list of my favorite contouring cosmetics to help you achieve that perfectly chiseled bone structure. There are many different ways to contour, the look I am demonstrating today will be for a more intense contour. I will do a more subtle and natural everyday contour in my second post! Have a fabulous Friday...
Enjoy!

I hope you all enjoyed this quick tutorial on how I cream contour/highlight! I always do different looks each day but tend to wear this style of makeup once or twice a week! I am coming back to CA for a 4 weeks this weekend and can't wait to work on some amazing makeup clients, teach lessons and do some skin care! Hope you all have had a great week and have an even better weekend! Lots of love!
