We demystify contouring and, using our Bare Sculpt Contour Stick, make it really easy to enhance your best features, look proportioned in photographs, and celebrate your natural beauty.
Check out our tutorial video with our Cosmetics A La Carte makeup artist Marina and step by step with makeup artist Nadira V Persaud.
Makeup Artist Marina shows how to apply Bare Sculpt contour to enhance and add dimension and depth to your face. She wears medium shade Muse.
Makeup artist Nadira V Persaud shows us how to break down the technique, step by step. Nadira wears Bare Sculpt in deep shade Icon.
Feel for your cheek bone with your fingers: apply your contour directly beneath it, starting near the top of the ear and stopping around the outer third of the eye.
Don't take the line all the way to the mouth, as this can pull the face down.
Use contour to create a tighter, cleaner jaw. Sweep Bare Sculpt along the jawline and blend. For beginners, aim to blend in side to side motions to keep the effect subtle and controllable.
Also apply Bare Sculpt at your temples, to enhance the natural dip here and add shape to the face.
As Marina shows in her video, those with high foreheads can also apply above the forehead at the hairline to add flattering dimension.
Contour can help noses look more slender, both along the nose and at the tip. This is universally considered aesthetically pleasing and can improve appearance especially on camera.
Apply a fine line of Bare Sculpt down both sides of the nose and blend, as shown by Nadira here.
You can also put contour over the bridge of the nose for a more sunkissed look.
As Marina's video shows, you can also reduce the apparent size of the tip of the nose, by adding contour above the nostrils.
Bare Sculpt offers a natural approach to contour – it blends seamlessly with minimal technique, feels weightless on the skin, and creates a softly sculpted modern silhouette that celebrates and enhances your best features.
It's an essential accessory for blending contour balms easily and quickly, with no streaks or patchiness!
While videos are helpful, real-life practice can sometimes make the world of difference.
