I've found some helpful youtube videos. The contouring make up looks terrifying before it's blended, but then somehow finishes so pretty once blended.

I think I'm going to try this using drugstore makeup to see if I like the look before splurging on high end makeup for this purpose.

Wow, you can work out in 5 minutes? That's impressive. That's how much time I spend on my makeup each day, including contouring. And how does one spackle powder on?



Congratulations on so many years of wearing hideous amounts of makeup that you can now do it in 5 minutes. What an accomplishment! You must be really proud of yourself.

I do, but not a major contour. Just a little down my nose and, on the hollows of my cheeks, and a little along the jawline. I don't highlight, though perhaps I should.

I have a very round face and wide Asian nose. I'm not overweight.

I'd love to hear your tips on how to prevent hormonal acne with "time and care". TIA.

I'd like to learn how to do this, but I'm scared I'll look like a wax Kardashian real doll. My face is kind of round so I'd love to add some angles.

13:30, please go kick rocks. Thank you.

I can't remember the brand name (at work), but it is from Sephora and comes in a compact with three shades: bronzer, highlighter, contour. It also comes with a brush and directions based on the shape of your face. I do it lightly, so I don't look made-up, but even a little bit makes a difference.

I do...it is really easy if you have the right make-up and brush.

Nope. Never have, and can't imagine doing so.

The title says it all. I have not been doing this, but now wonder if I should be doing it. When done well, that is to say, thoroughly blended, it looks really nice. Is this something to be incorporated into a daily routine or just for special occasions?
