REVERSE CONTOURING?

Shanus · ‎05-17-2010

Anyone heard of this technique? I do it with a foundation stick or applying foundation with a brush in a stripe under the blush and cheekbone. No contour shades or highlight needed.

Instant lifting.

@Shanus I just go and get my "instant lifting" from Voluma®. I have a very proficient tech!

This way I get the paper, take out the trash...and run to the take-out without putting on makeup. Yeah..."lazy" I know! di

@Shelbelle Watched it this morning, but looked like they were just applying blush.

I'm referring to lightening that area beneath the blush to achieve a more lifted look. I like the method of using a foundation stick in an upwards motion underneath the blush. Of course, as shown, blush is used in an upward sweep, so is ALL makeup...eyes, too.

The way Mally showed it, IMHO, too much of a darker shade was used.

@San Antonio Gal Mally used blush (?) to contour. I'm talking about lightening the area under cheekbone to accentuate and lift the cheek instead of the usual darker shades applied in that area.

They just said to apply your blush from the nose and sweeep it up and out, really nothing new.

I think Eve Pearl made this popular with her cream makeup. She had two shades, one lighter one darker in the compact. You were supposed to use the lighter one on bottom portion of face and darker on upper portion. Great makeup!
