After I was first requested to put in writing a weblog submit on sculpting with PureBronze Matte Bronzer, I used to be slightly apprehensive. I’d by no means totally mastered contouring as a ability, having spent years making an attempt to form my spherical, pale face with bronzers that have been all the time too orange for my pores and skin tone.
Fortunately, I knew the particular person to show to for knowledgeable steerage: Shawn, our Director of Artistry and Schooling, who graciously supplied to present me a tutorial on learn how to create a pure sculpted look.
The Lesson
When sculpting the face, Shawn recommends highlighting first after which contouring, as that makes it simpler to inform the place you’ll want to add definition. To spotlight, select a shade that could be a few shades lighter than the pores and skin tone or use a product that has luminosity to create an identical lifted impact.
As soon as the highlighter is mixed, apply the contour with a contour brush to the areas of the face you need to draw again. Frequent bronzer placement areas embody: alongside the hairline, within the hollows of the cheeks, alongside the nostril and alongside the jawline. Professional tip: When sculpting the jaw line, keep in mind to start behind the ear so there’s not an apparent line the place the contour begins.
Then, whenever you’ve achieved the specified degree of sculpting, the important thing to creating all of it look pure is to mix all the pieces. Totally. Hold the areas which might be nearer to the hairline darker and regularly mix the colour out extra together with your contour brush as you progress in the direction of the center of the face.
Make-up
To prepared my face for make-up, I prime my pores and skin with Easy Affair® Brightening Face Primer. Subsequent, I dot Glow Time Professional™ BB Cream in GT1 on my cheeks, brow, chin and nostril and rapidly mix it in with the Mixing/Contouring Brush. (I discover slightly of this product goes a great distance and it dries down rapidly so it’s key to begin mixing ASAP.)
On the subject of highlighters, I prefer to go luminous vs matte so I add some Energetic Gentle® Below-eye Concealer in 1 to the excessive factors of my face, mixing it in with the Mixing/Contouring Brush. For additional glow, I high it off with the Glow Time® Highlighter Stick in Solstice.
I sweep PureBronze Matte Bronzer in Gentle(Shawn’s suggestion because it’s not a very warm-toned bronzer), beneath my cheekbones round my brow and below my jawline, mixing with the Mixing/Contouring Brush.
Since I’ve a rounder face, I skip including blush to the apples of my cheeks and as an alternative apply Glow Time® Blush Stick in Balmy from my temple, alongside the highest of the cheek bone to the middle of my cheek.
I add PureBrow® Precision Pencil in Darkish Brown to my eyebrows for definition, sweep the shimmery rose gold shade from the Ravishing PurePressed® Eye Shadow Trio throughout my eyelids and lengthen my lashes with Longest Lash® Thickening and Lengthening Mascara in Black Ice.
I end the look with a swipe of our NEW ColorLuxe Hydrating Cream Lipstick in Sorbet for a refined trace of coral.
Wanting within the mirror, I’m pleasantly stunned to see that my face does look sculpted and lifted in a pure method. I additionally don’t look orange. (Massive shoutout to Shawn and his Sculpting 101 Contour Information.)
