CONTOURING
FOR BEGINNERS

One contouring wand, three face-transforming make-up tricks – our beauty editor demos how to ace sculpting and shading with Pür Minerals’ Cameo Contour Stick

Get film-star bone structure: Suck your cheeks in and run the contour shade along the hollows. Flip the stick and swipe the highlighter along the top of your cheekbones for a natural-looking lift. Blur the lines by blending with the round end of the sponge (included with the stick).

Slim your nose: Trace both sides of your nose with the contour shade, stopping just before the tip (this makes it look too thin). Run the highlighter down the bridge of the nose, then bounce the flat part of the sponge over the nose to blend.

Hide a double chin: Draw the contour shade along the jaw to the bottom of your ear. Blend the colour downwards to create a slimming shadow. A dab of highlighter on the centre of your chin helps to supercharge the effect.
