Contouring my face with Sleek and Mac

These are my Contouring products, a very important step in my everyday routine and almost with every look.....

I use this technique in every Video makeup tutorial on Youtube

Here you have my product that I use...



These are my brushes, that obviously is a very important part of my contouring routine.....

This is my Mac 109 brush and my Mac Mac 130 Short Duo Fibre Brush      
 For Contouring of the face under the cheekbones and under chin.... 





This is my Studio Tech and this is really a foundation that is a couple of shades darker then my skintone......This is for me Nw 45....

I use this as a creme base for the powder I put over to set it........

I actually find that it applys best with your finger, the products reacts perfect with your body heat, and being distributed perfect where you apply it.
I apply it just under my cheek bones, where you would naturally have a shadow.....That`s really what we are trying to recreate and enhance.....

Cause in makeup it works as follows, dark makes things smaller and bright/light things enhances things........

The same goes for contouring of your face......
I apply it in a angle from about middle of my ear til about/agains my corner of my mouth (but stop the line straight under the middle of my eye)
Of course you apply it under your own cheekbones, every person has different futures in their face.Feel where the bone is andapply right under.....
It will be easier when I show you on camera....
Soming up soon.....Here....

After I applied it with my finger i take my Mac 130 duo fibre brush and go over it, blending it out, until I get the result I`m looking for, the right amount of shadow......Just blending, blening and some more blending.....

I also sometimes apply a small amount under my chin......

Then it`s time for.......




....My contouring palette from Sleekmakeup.




I have it in both Dark and Medium, I use both at different occations depending on the rest of the makep look........I tend to use the Medium more often since it looks more natural on me.....



This is the Medium one......



And this is the dark one....I dont use this one as much...but this highlighter suites me better then the one in the Medium Palette.

I then apply by gently dipping my Mac 109 brush in the shadow and the go over the Creme that I`ve already applied.....
Swep and blend over until I get the desired result....sculpt cheekbones......

Sometimes i run over the contouring I made with a small amount of powder (whats left on the brush after powdering the face)
Just to even and blend everything out......

I tried lots of different shadows for the same purpose...from Mac, Make up store, but this is my alltime favourite so far....

As a creme product i first used a concealer stick from Mac (that I got as a present from the girls at Mac) , next time I went back they didnt have it...
So I tried my Studio Tech, and this works so good for me, also better deal economicly, more product for less money....

You can also use any concealer, the trick is using one that is a couple of shades darker then you complexion.

A good tip like with applying of all makeup, always start with a small amount and build up....If you need more of the product you can always ad more later....(harder to take away if you already applied)

This is what I use....

What do you use? Or do you have any other trix??
Love to hear.....


Will soon make a separate video tutorial about my contouring......

On My Channel.....

Enjoy :)
