Step-by-Step Guide to Contouring with RAWstudio Cosmetics

Step 1: Prepare Your Skin

Start with a clean, moisturized face. Apply your foundation and concealer as usual to create an even base. This helps the contour products blend smoothly and last longer.

Step 2: Apply the Contour Palette

Using the RAWstudio Contour Palette, apply the product to areas you want to define or slim down. Common areas include:

• Under the cheekbones

• Along the jawline

• Sides of the nose

• Temples and hairline

  
  

Step 3: Highlight the High Points

Next, use the RAWstudio Highlighting Cream on the high points of your face where light naturally hits:

• Top of the cheekbones

• Bridge of the nose

• Center of the forehead

• Brow bones

• Cupid’s bow

• Chin

  
  

Step 4: Blend, Blend, Blend

Use the RAWstudio Beauty Sponge or Blending Brush to softly blend the contour and highlight. Blend in small circular motions to avoid harsh lines and create a natural gradient.

Step 5: Set Your Contour

Finish by applying the RAWstudio Setting Powder lightly over your face to set the cream products and reduce shine. Focus on areas where you applied contour and highlight to keep everything in place.

Tips for Different Face Shapes

Contouring techniques vary depending on your face shape. Here are tailored tips to help you enhance your unique features:

Oval Face

This balanced shape suits most contouring styles. Apply contour under the cheekbones and along the jawline to add definition without overdoing it.

Round Face

Focus contouring on the sides of your face and under the cheekbones to create the illusion of length. Avoid contouring the center of your cheeks to prevent adding width.

Square Face

Soften the angles by contouring the jawline and temples. Blend well to avoid harsh lines and create a more oval appearance.

Heart-Shaped Face

Contour the sides of the forehead and under the cheekbones to balance a wider forehead with a narrower chin.

Long Face

Apply contour along the hairline and under the chin to shorten the appearance of your face. Highlight the cheeks to add width.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Using the wrong shade: Choose contour shades that are 1-2 tones darker than your skin, and highlight shades that are 1-2 tones lighter. Avoid colors that are too warm or too cool for your skin tone.

  
  

• Skipping blending: Harsh lines make contouring obvious. Blend thoroughly for a seamless look.

  
  

• Over-applying product: Start with a small amount and build up gradually. Less is more when it comes to contouring.

  
  

• Ignoring face shape: Tailor your contour placement to your face shape for the most flattering results.
