In fact, contouring, like sketching, uses the relationship between light and shadow to simulate natural light effects and create a visual three-dimensional effect, that is, contouring can redefine facial contours, improve facial flatness, large faces, nose collapses and many other problems.

For a successful contour, the details are very important, it does not have an absolutely correct formula, often need to be judged and selected according to each person's facial situation.

The trouble of many makeup beginners is that the theoretical knowledge is sufficient, but the practice is very "magical". Many times it is because of the lack of experience in judging the shape of the face, and the lack of an accurate understanding of when and when it is not needed.

In order to reduce contouring mistakes and help everyone achieve the ideal makeup effect, today Xiao Makeup introduces you to several contouring cases, no need to use your brain, simple and easy to get started, come and copy the homework directly!

<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="01" data-track="134" > give your forehead a real sense of fullness</h1>

First of all, we need to consider, what kind of forehead needs to be contoured?

If your forehead is already very three-dimensional and full, then you can skip this one. If your forehead is flattened and retracted, then take a hard look and teach you to quickly create a three-dimensional, skeletal full forehead.

Although it cannot achieve the same effect as plastic surgery, at least in terms of visual effects, it can achieve a beautiful and full state.

It should be noted that no matter what type of forehead, it can not withstand a large area of full brightness, otherwise you will have a forehead that is as bright as light, and it looks shiny and greasy from a distance.

For a successful forehead contour, you need to remember: 1/3 hit highlights, between the two brow peaks, and the edges sweep shadows. How to operate it, let's take a look at the demonstration.

Step 1: Use a matte highlighter and highlight 1/3 of the forehead horizontally, no larger than the brow peak. It is also appropriate to do a little brightening at the brow bone.

Step 2: Use a puff to shoot the highlights around to make your highlights stagger and look more natural.

Step 3: Use the brush to sweep a circle of shadows around the hairline.

Next, let's look at the comparison.

In just three steps, a naturally plump forehead is created, and remember, staggered highlights are more in line with human aesthetics. In addition, if it is not for the sake of being photogenic, the contouring in daily life should still follow the principle of a small number of times, and the ideal effect under natural light should prevail, and it should not be too exaggerated.

<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="02" how to quickly correct flat depressions in > data-track="135"? </h1>

The face is flat and concave, it looks like it is ten years old, it looks gaunt, and there is a certain sense of sagging visually, which affects the appearance. So, how do you fix it?

In fact, the depression in the face is the result of the loss of collagen in the face, and the whole is "contracted", so if you want to correct it, you need to "highlight" it. The principle to follow is very simple, that is, use the highlight to highlight the part you want to highlight, and use the shadow to create a shrinkage effect around the highlight, so that the part you want to highlight is more prominent.

In addition, it is easy for many people to overlook that there are certain collateral "side effects" of the depression in the surface, that is, the nose will also have a feeling of being trapped. Then in the process of correction, it is also necessary to make certain adjustments to the nose.

In terms of operation, there are also only a few important points to keep in mind: the triangle under the eye, "pulling" out the nose, and blush contouring. Specific operation, let's take a look at the demonstration.

Step 1: Highlight the triangle under your eyes, in an inverted triangle from the eye to the nose wing, remember that the highlight position does not exceed the outer edge of your eyeball, and then gently pat it away with a puff.

Step 2: Correct the nose depression, we extend it appropriately to the root of the nose when we hit the highlight, and the sides of the nose wings should also have a little highlight.

Step 3: Where the nose usually hits the shadow, also lean up, using a small brush for better control.

Step 4: Choose a matte, low-saturated blush and sweep along the outer edge of the triangle in a circular circle. Here it is equivalent to replacing the shadow with blush, creating a contracted visual effect, and the color is closer to the skin tone, looks more natural, and the color is also very good.

Such a plump face is created, let's look at the contrast.

After the contour, the whole face is like a pop up, full and shiny. It should be noted that the contour is not only for the adjustment of a place, but also needs to pay attention to the relationship between light and shade around, pay attention to the integrity, so that the makeup is the most natural.

<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="03" data-track="136" > make your tear troughs and wrinkles disappear</h1>

Whether it is tear troughs or nasolabial folds, it is essentially a "depression" caused by collagen loss, visually contracted, and like the depression in the upper face, we need to use highlights to make them pop up.

How should this highlight be swept away? Quite simply, from the end of the eye through the tear trough and then transferred to the nasolabial fold next to the nasal wing, the whole is in an arc.

When painting, use the brush to bring a belt forward and a halo back, so that the highlight also has a shade of excessive, and the overall appearance will be more natural.

Below is a comparison of the effects drawn.

As you can see, the tear trough under the right eye is obvious, and after the left contour, the face looks more elastic and tight. Of course, this highlight method is more suitable for tear troughs, nasolabial folds are shallow, if it is particularly deep, more steps are needed to correct, we will be in the future push for everyone to explain.

<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="04" data-track="137" > chin shortening, elongating, and sharpening tips! </h1>

Do you want your chin to be longer, shorter or sharper? How to achieve a "free stretch" of the chin?

Let's first look at the following picture -

Which "8" looks shorter? Which "8" looks longer? Obviously, horizontal stripes have a widening/shortening effect, and vertical stripes have a narrowing/elongating effect.

Our highlights and shadows are the same reason, if you want to shorten the chin, you use the way of horizontal highlights and shadows; if you want to lengthen the chin, you use the way of vertical highlights and shadows; if you want the chin to become sharp, you use the way of obliquely playing shadows with the outer figure eight.

Let's take a look at the effect of the drawing -

You can choose the right chin contour according to your facial features or makeup characteristics. When painting, you need to pay attention to the place where the chin to the mandible connects also need to be brought to make the excess look more natural.

<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="05" data-track="138" > how to make makeup look young/mature through nose contouring? </h1>

Regarding nose contouring, before everyone paid attention to how to make the nose taller and straighter, but in fact, the tall nose is not suitable for everyone's facial feelings, and blindly pursuing a tall nose will backfire.

So what should be done with the contouring of the nose? First of all, we need to understand that the smaller the eyebrow triangle and the longer the nose, the more mature it will appear; conversely, the larger the eyebrow triangle area, the shorter the nose, the more juvenile it will appear. Of course, what is being discussed here is a change within a reasonable range, and it is appropriate to do so.

We can feel the impact of atrium length on makeup sensation through specific cases.

If you want to have a juvenile makeup effect, just remember, widen the eyebrows and shorten the nose. Specific operation, let's look at the case.

Step 1: Use highlights to widen the position between the two eyebrows so that the triangle is appropriately enlarged.

Step 2: Find the most concave place of the nose root, start from this point slightly down the position to hit the highlight, the length of the highlight is appropriate, do not draw a stroke to the tip of the nose.

Step 3: If you want to shorten your nose further, you can find the original highest point of the nose and hit a highlight at this highest point slightly upward.

Step 4: Draw the shadow part of the nose, starting from the side of the nose of the mountain root, slowly extending upward to the position where the eyebrow is connected, and down to the side of the nose where the tip of the nose is a little higher. Two shadows are created obliquely on both sides of the nose and connected to play a role in contracting the nose.

The above is the nose contouring method of showing juveniles, if you want to show maturity, the reverse operation can be. The following picture for everyone to do a summary, in order to demonstrate, the highlight shadows on the picture are more exaggerated, you can according to the actual situation appropriately smeared, and then with the puff to shoot away.

Let's take a look at the effect comparison chart.

Makeup with a shorter nose looks more youthful and youthful, and the facial features look softer. The makeup with a longer nose looks relatively mature and capable, and the facial features feel more three-dimensional.

All in all, when considering nose contouring, you should abandon the idea of blindly pursuing tallness, and should choose the appropriate contour according to makeup and personal situation.
