 
Today I'm going to teach you
how to highlight and contour.
Let's get started.
My skin is already prepped with
my COVERGIRL truBLEND primer
and foundation.
I'm going to start with my
truBLEND FIXSTICK in Dark 5, 6, 7.
The line that you want to put
your contour in on your cheek
is from the top of your
ear towards your mouth.
You want to stop at the
outer corner of your eye
because that is the perfect contour
line so that your cheeks look
chiseled but not too sucked in.
I'm going to contour my nose, my
cheekbones, my chin, and my forehead.
Now I'm going to take a fluffy
brush to blend my contour.
Underneath the chin, I'm going to blend
it kind of downward and across the jaw.
For the cheeks, I'm going to kind
of blend it inward and upward
to lift the cheekbones.
Around the forehead, I'm going to blend
it kind of up and into the hairline
so there's not a stark contrast
between my foundation and my hair.
On the nose, I'm going to blend it
just down the sides of the bridge,
and that slims the nose.
Next I'll use my truBLEND FIXSTICK to
highlight the high points of my face,
so anywhere that the light will hit--
the cheekbones, the bridge of the nose,
the Cupid's bow, the
chin, and the forehead.
I'm going to take a smaller fluffy brush
and blend all of the highlight marks
that I made.
I'm going to just kind of
spread them out from the area
that they're in so they don't
look so stark and dramatic.
 
Now that I've got my
face all blended, I'm
going to take a gold
Bombshell ShineShadow
and just highlight my cheekbones
and my Cupid's bow with my fingers.
I'm just taking my ring finger
because it gives the lightest touch,
and I'm going to dab it on
the top of my cheekbones.
This motion ensures that you don't
disrupt the rest of your makeup.
It's really simple, and all it
does is add a little bit of sparkle
to the highlight.
Next I'm going to put on
my truBLEND blush in Light
to blend the contour and the highlight.
And I'm going to use
this soft rolling motion
on the cheek and the apple of my cheek.
Then to just kind of even
out my face all over,
I'll take another tiny bit on my
brush and apply a dab to the chin
and on the temples.
I'm going to finish off with my
truBLEND bronzer and the same brush
I was using for my blush.
And I'm just going to give
a light sweep over my face
so that I have a natural radiance.
The truBLEND bronzer
has all marbled colors
so you get the perfect finish
and a beautiful glow every time.
And that is how you
highlight and contour.
