Tuesday's Tune-ups!

Am I the last girl on the planet to jump on board with contouring makeup?  I got a few new products to try out highlighting and contouring areas of my face.  I have oily skin so I was very skeptical about highlighting because I didn't want to appear more oily.  However, I was pleasantly surprised.  If you are like me, and have not tried contouring-dont be scared.  It's actually a lot of fun!  Since I am just beginning, I didn't buy a bunch of new products to try, I just started simply with two products.

Products I tried on top of my regular makeup:

<<<Nars Pressed Powder>>>

 <<<Bare Minerals bronzer>>>

A picture I used to help apply the different products:

Tips to try contouring:
1) Apply all of your regular make-up and then contour.
2) Use your highlight (light) before your contouring (dark).
3) Use an angled brush
4) Start simple-use the the picture to help apply the makeup where needed.
5) If you have a summer color that is two shades darker than what you're using now, use it as the contour.

There are a few kits out there.  Here are a few:

<<<Anastasia Contouring Kit>>>

 <<<Sephora Collecton Sculpting Disk>>>

 <<<e.l.f. studio contouring>>>

Is this something I would do every single day? Probably not.  Unless I practice a lot and can do this rather quickly. Contouring does take more time, keep this in mind.
I am in front of seventh graders most of the day and they have no cares of whether I wear makeup or not. =)
