We all desire that look. Celebrities like Jennifer Lopez + Kim Kardashian seem to have some of the nicest, contoured made up faces in the biz.
Both ladies own high, razor-sharp cheekbones for one, but did you know that both Jennifer + Kim also have access to the BEST pro makeup artists
around?
Today, drugstores and high-end department stores and makeup boutiques are all selling makeup contouring kits.
We say, "Don't waste your money or time!"
These kits are fun to play with, and might be handy on a big night out, but for every day life, you DON'T need a contoured face of artfully applied special makeup.
Why?
Because doing contoured makeup is NOT easy. Pin-point accuracy is involved, and you must Blend, Blend. Blend. If you don't, then you might have a tell-tale white stripe going down your nose or muddy-looking bronzer across your jawline, and so forth.
Leave makeup contouring for the pros.
Or, ignore us and check out lots of YouTube demos on how to contour.
We like this one by Carli Bybel. She's amazing at it BUT---it takes several products to contour and a lot of time---at least 10 minutes.
So, ladies---do you own a makeup contouring kit?

So agree with your post. It's all done at the hands of a professional artist. These 2 couldn't create the contouring by themselves. LOL
I had professional make-up done for me on my wedding day. Very pretty but I certainly couldn't ever do it alone. I recommend a pro to apply it when you have an important day coming up. I suddenly had high cheekbones and a slimmer face. Pretty amazing stuff.
