Now then, let us get on with the tutorial.

<strong>Step 1:

The first thing you need to do is choose your makeup products. You will need an angled brush, a dark matte brown eyeshadow, a neutral matte brown eyeshadow, a cream makeup colour corrector and a bronzer or contouring powder kit.

Step 2:

Secondly, decide what areas of your face you want to accentuate. In this tutorial, we will be focusing on the cheekbones and jawline as well as some other parts of the face such as the around nose and forehead. However, if you want to do all over contouring then simply apply the bronzer (how to apply bronzer) with an angled brush.

Step 3:

Apply the orange colour corrector onto areas such as under your eyes, around your nose and on any blemishes that you might have. Make sure that it has completely set your base before moving on to the next step. This can take anywhere from 10 minutes up to an hour depending on how much makeup you are wearing.

Step 4:

Put some of the dark brown bronzer from your brush and begin applying it onto your cheekbones. Make sure that it's not too much or else you will end up looking like a bruise on your face. If you feel like there are areas that need more definition, then use the angled brush and go over them again with a darker shade.

Step 5:

Now for the next step, take the dark matte brown bronzer and put it on the outer edges of your jawline as well as under your chin. The trick is to blend it in as much as possible. Use the neutral matte brown bronzer over this if necessary in order to blend it even more

Take the dark matte brown bronzer and apply it onto areas such as under the bottom lip, along the sides of the nose and on your hairline. Contouring your nose, jawline, cheek bones and hairline ensures your face has symmetry and looks structured.
