- Before I started contouring I already applied a foundation base and concealer, I did not put a powder
- Thin the nose by contouring the sides of the bridge
- Add a shadow using two shades darker along the underside of the cheekbones
- Along the jaw line
- Along the hairline to shorten the forehead
- Add blush or bronzer between the highlight and contour shades
- Use your fingers to perfect blend it, make sure not streaky
