WAS IST CONTOUR MAKE-UP?

Contouring ist seit einigen Jahren ein großer Beauty-Trend, aber wie Charlotte sagt: „Es ist das Geheimnis, das Kinostars jahrelang für sich behalten haben!“

Durch das Spiel mit Licht und Schatten beim Contour Make-up lassen sich optisch deine Gesichtszüge praktisch neu formen, modellieren und definieren. Theoretisch gilt: Alle Stellen, auf die ein helles, strahlendes Produkt aufgetragen wird, heben sich ab und fallen mehr auf. Überall dort, wo Schatten oder dunklere Konturen erzeugt werden, entstehen hingegen Tiefe und Definition.

Zu wissen, wie du dein Gesicht richtig konturierst, ist der Schlüssel zu jedem MAGISCHEN Make-up-Look. Denn ein zu starkes Konturieren oder das Konturieren von Bereichen, die es nicht benötigen, kann das Gegenteil von dem bewirken, was man eigentlich erreichen möchte. Wenn zum Beispiel bei jemandem mit länglicher Gesichtsform und ohnehin hohen Wangenknochen zu stark konturiert wird, kann das Gesicht dadurch eingefallen, gealtert oder mager aussehen.

CHARLOTTES TOP-TIPPS FÜR CONTOUR MAKE-UP

• Trage für eine perfekte Haftung zuerst eine dünne Schicht Airbrush Flawless Finish Micro-Powder auf.
• Trage den Sculpting-Farbton mit dem Powder & Sculpt Make-up-Pinsel entlang der Vertiefungen der Wangen, an den Schläfen, entlang der Kieferknochen, an den Nasenflügeln und auf der Nasenspitze auf. Und jetzt heißt es: verblenden, verblenden und nochmals verblenden!
• Trage den Highlight-Farbton oben auf die Wangenknochen, den Nasenrücken, den Amorbogen und deine Augenbrauenknochen auf, damit deine Haut wie von Kerzenlicht beschienen wirkt.

DO I CONTOUR BEFORE OR AFTER FOUNDATION?

Contouring generally comes after foundation, allowing you to perfect the look of your complexion with foundation and concealer before sculpting and chiselling with cream contour. However, some makeup artists prefer to contour before foundation to enhance the look of bone structure and set the framework for their makeup look – this technique is known as underpainting. For makeup beginners, I would suggest contouring after foundation then cleaning up any makeup mistakes with concealer. The choice is yours, darlings!

IS CONTOURING STILL POPULAR IN THE 2020s?

Yes – Contouring reached a fever pitch in the 2010s, taking over social media and becoming a driving force in makeup virality! Images of makeup lovers with lines and dots over their faces circulated far and wide, and everyone was talking about the new makeup technique on the scene. The truth is though, darlings, contouring has been a part of makeup artistry for decades! It continues to be a timeless trick for sculpting and shaping the look of every face from red carpets to fashion editorials. While the contouring craze of the 2010s has taken a backseat in the 2020s, contouring continues to be a key aspect of makeup artistry and always has a time and place.

WHAT IS BRONTOURING?

Brontouring is a makeup technique where bronzer is applied in the same areas you would apply a classic contour. There is a difference between bronzer and contour, darlings, but bronzer can be used as a substitute when a look doesn’t call for the transformative effects of contouring. The purpose of contouring is to sculpt the look of your face, whereas bronzer is designed to add warmth; some people gravitate towards bronzer instead of contour because of the lifting, sunshine that it has. The finish of a bronzer is brighter than a contour and creates a less convincing shadow effect, however, this can be preferable for those that want a softer makeup look and are looking to add a little more dimension by brontouring.

HOW TO CONTOUR WITH BRONZER

Sculpt and bronze in one step by applying bronzer in the same manner you would contour. Choose your perfect shade of Beautiful Skin Sun-Kissed Glow Bronzer or AIRbrush Bronzer, then apply to the cheekbones, nose, forehead, jawline, and crease to softly sculpt the look of your complexion. To brontour, you should apply bronzer more strategically; rather than bronzing wherever the sun would naturally hit, keep in mind the areas of your bone structure that you are looking to shade.
