The Preparation Before you even think about shades, powders, and painting, your brushes are the key to highlighting and contouring for no makeup makeup. Achieving the perfect no-makeup makeup look with highlight and contour is often a matter of carefully matching your foundation, keeping your brush strokes light, and keeping your brushes clean throughout the whole process. But it’s not that hard to integrate a little light and shadow into your makeup routine, as a way to subtly shape your face to draw attention to your favorite features. And while we all know that there’s a difference between day looks and night looks, sometimes you want to stay on the subtle side. No matter how much you blend, it’s easy for highlighting and contouring to end up looking dramatic. The same goes for a highlight - unblended or misplaced, even the softest highlight can stick out like a sore thumb. ![]() But if your color match isn't quite right, or your line is too low, or you’re not using the best contouring makeup, or you’re following a makeup tutorial that’s not made for you, there’s always the risk of it looking a little off.

Contour makeup and highlighter makeup are all the rage. ![]()
