How to Contour and Highlight Face


 Every wanted to make your face look slimmer but didn't want plastic surgery? Well it's easier then you thought!
Create a slender nose, sleeker jawline, and all-over slimmer face. With these simple tricks.
First thing, you want to find a foundation or a bronzer two shades darker then your skin tone. I really like the contour/blush palette from e.l.f. It's $3 usd and wont brake the bank.
Then you want a highlighter. I really like the healthy glow bronzer in luminance from e.l.f. It's $1 usd.

1. To contour your nose- Apply bronzer to either side of your nose, if your nose slops downwards a trick is to create a v shape at the end of your nose. Make sure you blend everything so you don't have harsh lines.
2. To contour your cheeks- If you suck in your cheeks, hopefully you can see your cheekbones. That is where you need to contour. Sweep all the way from the hairline and stopping an inch before your mouth.
3. To contour your forehead- If you have a predominant forehead, apply the product to the top of the head and into the hairline.
4. To contour your double chin- Apply product onto your jawline and under the ears, and bring the product down your neck.
5. To highlight your nose- Bring the product straight down the bridge of you nose.
6. To highlight your cheeks- Apply the product on your cheek bone, after your blush.

TIPS
~Use the picture above to help you place your contour and highlight.
~You can also add highlight to the top of your lip to create a fuller lip.
~Make sure you go to the hairline! Or you will be able to tell.

Katy Perry Grammy 2011 Inpired Makeup

Here is a great makeup look for Spring ispired from Katy Perry.
It uses purples, greens and bright lips! All the trend this spring
Here's what you need:
I used all e.l.f products- 100 palette top two purples, minty lip gloss- New York City, plumping lip gloss- Fushia Fanatic, Shimmer eyeliner pencil- Grassy Green, cream eyeliner- Black


Apply your eye primer on eyelid and under your lower lash line. Next if you have a silver base apply it to your lid, it will help the purple be more metallic. Apply the lightest purple all over your lid, with a crease brush take the darker purple and add it to your crease and blend. Take a eyeshadow color the same as your skin and blend the dark purple upwards.
Line your lower lash line with the pencil and go over with a lime green eyeshadow. Take a silver and add it to the inner corner.
Line your upper lash line with the black eyeliner and apply mascara.

Apply a pink blush.

Lips: Apply the Fushia Fanatic first then the New york city. If you rather go with a lipstick then a gloss use Gypsy with the New york city gloss over top.

Now you are all ready for Spring!
