Just in case, you are still new to this contouring business and don’t know how to get those wow cheeks, this is the one for you. Contouring is all about foundation and creating a shadowy effect. What you will need is your foundation (the one you use as per your skin tone) and other than that you will need two sticks foundation, one two shades darker and the other two shades lighter than your skin colour. Then comes mapping, blending and looking lit! Oh, by the way, if you don’t want your makeup to melt away in the hot days then you must see this.
