Here we go... 👇
Contour
Contouring helps define and structure your face giving it dimension, balance, and a more sculpted appearance. It mimics natural shadows to make your features stand out.
Types: Contours are available in powder, cream, and stick forms.
How to Apply:
Apply contour to the hollows of your cheeks, along the jawline, hairline, and sides of your nose. This enhances your natural bone structure and gives your face a beautifully carved finish.
