MAKE-UP TIP
OF THE MONTH
Get "Snatched" with Contouring
Contouring is a makeup technique that adds natural depth and dimension to your features by creating shadows and highlights in different areas of your face. You can learn to contour your facial features by placing darker hues from the contour palette below the cheek bones, neck, and sides of the nostril to create the illusion of depth and a chiseled bone structure.
Brighter pigment makeup, like highlighter, helps to bring out facial features, and using deeper shades will recede facial areas, which can help your cheeks, jawline, and nose appear more contoured.
To apply contour, use a fluffy contour brush and apply contour shades with small brush strokes downward on each side of your nostril, as well as to the bottom, sides of your cheek bones, and then on the bottom sides of your chin (where your neck and chin meet). Apply the darker shade first and then blend it in using the lighter shade.
It is best to use a bronzer to blend in the areas, then apply a good highlighter powder down the middle section of your nose and to the tip of your nose. Also, apply the highlighter powder to the top sides your cheek bones. You can apply blush to your cheekbones as well.
You can purchase a good bronzer, blush, contour palette, and highlighte powder at LoveExquisiteLLC.com.
"IN THE CARDS"
Taurus
Your life is about to turn around for the better. Doors are about to open for you that you didn't even think about walking through. Keep the faith. This year, belongs to you. You are about to receive everything that you have been praying for, so get ready. Be ready. Stay ready.
Gemini
Take care of yourself. Lately, you have been neglecting yourself for the sake of others. You matter, too. It is okay to be selfish, when your personal health is at stake. You have overcome so much, it is not time to throw in the towel. Stay focused and walk into your destiny, boldly. You Got This!
