It’s time to whip out your palettes and brushes as we get a lesson from the Sorbet team on contouring for beginners. Trust us: Your make-up routine will never be the same.
Click below for the step-by-step video, and then follow along with our detailed steps:
Step 1:
Apply Sorbet's You're Covered Concealer under your eyes with a medium-sized brush, and blend with a dampened blending sponge. Apply concealer to any other areas that are prone to discolouration or redness – often around your nose or chin – before blending with a blending sponge.
Step 2:
Apply the same concealer to the bridge of your nose, drawing a straight line down the centre of your nose with a brush, from between your eyebrows to the tip of your nose. And then, it’s time to blend, blend, blend.
Step 3:
Add definition with the Contour Me contouring palette. Dip a large brush into the darker shade and apply in circular motions below your cheekbones - in the hollow under the apples of your cheeks.
Inside tip: Smile when you do this step so you can see where the shadow naturally falls, and enhance it for natural definition.
Step 4:
Apply the contour powder under your jawline with the same large brush, to add definition to the edges of your face.
Step 5:
Use the same brush to gently contour the sides of your nose, either side of the concealer line you drew in step 2.
Step 6:
It’s setting time! Sweep a large brush over your Powderful Stuff Light Pressed Powder, and dust over your undereye area, as well as your chin and nose to set your concealer.
Tip: Apply the setting powder over your contoured areas too, to make it pop even more!
Et voila! There you have it – you’re ready to contour like a pro.
