Paint Yo' Face: Contour Like Kimmy K

Aly's six steps to looking like Kim Kardashian - from the neck up! 


Step 1 - Use your creme contour shades to darken all the planes of your face that would normally be kissed by the sun (temples, jaw line, side walls of the nose, sides of the chin, and the hollows of your cheek bones) your contour color should be 2-3 shades darker than your natural skin tone.

Step 2 - Blend out the contour using a foundation brush or my newly favorite Beauty Blender. Remember blending is your friend and can't be done enough!

Step 3 - when you've finished blending out the contour you're going to add your highlight shade to all the areas on the face that we wish to reflect light (under the eyes, bridge of the nose, forehead, chin, and Cupid's bow) your highlight color should be 2-3 shades lighter than your natural skin tone


Step 4 - Continue to blend the highlight into the contour for a seamless gradient of dark to light


Step 5 - Set with a translucent powder and bronzer for the hollows of your cheeks for the coveted matte finish

Step 6 - Slap those brows on, add a little liner to those eyes, and ba bam! Kim K, is that you girl?
