Makeup base: which must be a tone equal to or similar to the pigmentation of your skin color.
Cream concealers: you should buy two of good brands, one should be dark and the other light. You must bear in mind that the dark hue has to be two shades darker than the color of your pigmentation, so you should aim for beige and brown.
Paint brushes: as much as possible for foundation, powders and concealers to use when you are going to blend. When you buy the brush, blur your features by practicing before starting the contouring process.
Cosmetic Accessories: bronzer, highlighter powder and others that you have to relate to.
Facial sponge: this element is optional depending on how you blend and use your makeup artist when practicing on your features.
So when you ask yourself
What makeup is contouring done with?
you already know it base and correct accompanied by a good cosmetic brush.
How to apply Contouring
I will explain step by step how to apply this makeup technique where you can take from the part of the arch of the eyebrows, the center of your forehead, under your eyes to cover the dark circles, as well as disguise the sides of your face to make them thinner.
With this information I assure you that you will be able to professionally mark all the contours that you want to improve, from the cheekbones to the chin.
Follow these steps using each of the products that I mentioned above and enjoy these tricks to follow makeup trends in these beauty tips.
The two shades you apply must overlap to achieve an effect on the body that looks more natural.
It repeats constantly until you can achieve the expected tone with both concealers.
Dark shades will be located depending on the type of face you have.
In which we can mainly find an oval head or a quadriform head.
For the elliptical face, the one that is oval in shape, generally has no flaws to apply corrections, so what you have to do is apply both on the chin, on the forehead and on the upper area of your nose.
If the sides of your face are pronounced, you should apply a dark concealer to hide and be able to sharpen.
On the other hand, for a quadriform face, what you have to do is disguise the types of square features, so I advise you to darken what the tips of the jaw are, what is known as the lower jaw region.
You should not neglect the frontal region on the part of the two sides.
The illuminator would have to be applied to give a natural light effect to the makeup, otherwise it will be very opaque in the sunlight.
The upper part of the nose as well as the chin must be illuminated with the concealer so that all that area of the center of the face can shine as it should.
How to Apply Contouring according to face type
There are different types of faces so what I am going to try is to mention all of them and give you the recommendation that you should use depending on the shape and size of your face.
The first thing you would have to do is locate and select what type of factions you have.
Knowing the type of face you have a starting point to change the shape of your features as many times as you want with this contouring technique.
What is needed for contouring?
For this you should buy a makeup base that you like and buy the contouring makeup palette.
Personally, if you ask me, I like some brands that I have been testing during these years.
First of all, I would like to advise you that I do not have any kind of exchange with these cosmetic companies to mention them, I recommend them for you to use them and they are the market leader.
Among the bases can recommend the Infallible Base Sculpt Loreal gave me good results then in powder for contouring makeup I can recommend the Master Sculpt Maybelline.
What is a palette for contour I recommend Flawless Contouring Palette by Laura Mercier I really like to blur, Cocoa Contour Palette, Too Faced with a vegan brush, Shade and Light Contour Palette, Kat Von D. variation in tones for the skins, Step by Step Contour Kit, Smashbox offers a nice light, Contour Blush, Nars offers a very natural effect, Contour palette, ELF good for its price, another option with nice shades is the palette of New Dimension Shape and Sculpt Kit, Esteé Lauder.
They also sell contouring kit where you can get the whole pack of the items you need.
With this you can already have a guide on what products to use for contouring.
Now select the type of physiognomy you have to implement the contouring that corresponds to you.
👩 Elongated Face
To know that you have a long face what you should do is measure the length of your face if it is approximately twice the width of it, if this statement is correct then you have to apply these steps.
So what you have to do is find the balance through the makeup of the features of your face to be able to visually balance what you want them to see about you.
You have to apply by making the shape of an inverted triangle, a light shade under your eyes.
Now you have to use a tone that is dark according to the pigmentation of your skin, in all the part of the hair root just by the line through a line that is horizontal at the end of your chin but that is above the jaw by the lateral line.
👩 Rectangular Face
To realize that you have the face as a rectangle in its shape, what you have to do is see if it is as long as it is wide and especially if the area of your jaw is very marked.
Therefore, if you are in this option, the tip that you can recommend is that by contouring you must stand out, marking the cheekbones very well so that the jaw can be more intensely concealed.
In the area of the jaw line what you have to do is use a dark tone regarding the color of your skin, then you have to slowly descend to the temples in a way that is not very accentuated but rather light.
Another trick is to add below the cheekbones by means of a line that is very thick, also another line thick on the jaw line.
Now take the light tone and draw a triangle that is inverted with respect to your eyes, just in the area below them and you can also draw a circle in the central part of your chin.
👩 Round Face
To know if your face is round, what you have to do is look at yourself in a mirror and if your face is as wide as it is long, it is affirmatively a round face.
So you have to sharpen your features by harmonizing with a stroke that is vertical with a dark tone.
You have to go along the sides of your entire forehead as well as the temples, then surround your cheekbones to be able to finally trace in the grooves called nasogenians.
You only have to draw a circle in the central part of your forehead at this step and then you drew it by means of an inverted triangle that goes under your eyes and another one by means of a lying oval that is located in the center of the chin.
To finish once you applied all the strokes you must blur.
👩 Square Face
How can I know if I have a square face?
This is the first question that you will surely ask yourself and the answer is very simple. You have to have both the width and length of your face, both in the jaw and in the line where the hair on your head begins to grow.
You have to apply the darker shade both above the jaw and on your cheeks and also on your temples.
Then to apply the light tone what you have to do is perform it under the eyes, in the center of your chin and also in the lower arch of the eyebrows.
👩 Diamond Face
First what you have to be clear about is if you have your face in the shape of a diamond and for that you have to look at the line where your mane grows comparing if it is narrower than the distance you have between your cheekbones but you have to take into account If your chin is pointed but in a delicate way, the features are not very accentuated.
To find harmony you must apply the contouring technique by first applying the light tones both in the center area of your chin and forehead.
I also recommend you as a trick under your eyes as I previously taught you in an inverted triangle.
For the darker shade you have to mark your cheekbones with a line that passes under the cheeks and to end this process begins to blur.
👩 Triangular Face
If your hair growth line is wider than the area of your jaw, then your face is triangle-shaped, so the best make-up technique that I recommend is using the dark hue, rounding your face both on the side upper forehead.
You also have to draw a circle above the jaw and in the center of your chin.
With this what you achieve is to balance your face visually transforming your gaze to the mirror more harmonious.

If your hair growth line is wider than the area of your jaw, then your face is triangle-shaped, so the best make-up technique that I recommend is using the dark hue, rounding your face both on the side upper forehead.
You also have to draw a circle above the jaw and in the center of your chin.
With this what you achieve is to balance your face visually transforming your gaze to the mirror more harmonious.

How to apply Contouring
I will explain step by step how to apply this makeup technique where you can take from the part of the arch of the eyebrows, the center of your forehead, under your eyes to cover the dark circles, as well as disguise the sides of your face to make them thinner.
With this information I assure you that you will be able to professionally mark all the contours that you want to improve, from the cheekbones to the chin.
Follow these steps using each of the products that I mentioned above and enjoy these tricks to follow makeup trends in these beauty tips.
The two shades you apply must overlap to achieve an effect on the body that looks more natural.
It repeats constantly until you can achieve the expected tone with both concealers.
Dark shades will be located depending on the type of face you have.
In which we can mainly find an oval head or a quadriform head.
For the elliptical face, the one that is oval in shape, generally has no flaws to apply corrections, so what you have to do is apply both on the chin, on the forehead and on the upper area of your nose.
If the sides of your face are pronounced, you should apply a dark concealer to hide and be able to sharpen.
On the other hand, for a quadriform face, what you have to do is disguise the types of square features, so I advise you to darken what the tips of the jaw are, what is known as the lower jaw region.
You should not neglect the frontal region on the part of the two sides.
The illuminator would have to be applied to give a natural light effect to the makeup, otherwise it will be very opaque in the sunlight.
The upper part of the nose as well as the chin must be illuminated with the concealer so that all that area of the center of the face can shine as it should.
How to Apply Contouring according to face type
There are different types of faces so what I am going to try is to mention all of them and give you the recommendation that you should use depending on the shape and size of your face.
The first thing you would have to do is locate and select what type of factions you have.
Knowing the type of face you have a starting point to change the shape of your features as many times as you want with this contouring technique.
What is needed for contouring?
For this you should buy a makeup base that you like and buy the contouring makeup palette.
Personally, if you ask me, I like some brands that I have been testing during these years.
First of all, I would like to advise you that I do not have any kind of exchange with these cosmetic companies to mention them, I recommend them for you to use them and they are the market leader.
Among the bases can recommend the Infallible Base Sculpt Loreal gave me good results then in powder for contouring makeup I can recommend the Master Sculpt Maybelline.
What is a palette for contour I recommend Flawless Contouring Palette by Laura Mercier I really like to blur, Cocoa Contour Palette, Too Faced with a vegan brush, Shade and Light Contour Palette, Kat Von D. variation in tones for the skins, Step by Step Contour Kit, Smashbox offers a nice light, Contour Blush, Nars offers a very natural effect, Contour palette, ELF good for its price, another option with nice shades is the palette of New Dimension Shape and Sculpt Kit, Esteé Lauder.
They also sell contouring kit where you can get the whole pack of the items you need.
With this you can already have a guide on what products to use for contouring.
Now select the type of physiognomy you have to implement the contouring that corresponds to you.
👩 Elongated Face
To know that you have a long face what you should do is measure the length of your face if it is approximately twice the width of it, if this statement is correct then you have to apply these steps.
So what you have to do is find the balance through the makeup of the features of your face to be able to visually balance what you want them to see about you.
You have to apply by making the shape of an inverted triangle, a light shade under your eyes.
Now you have to use a tone that is dark according to the pigmentation of your skin, in all the part of the hair root just by the line through a line that is horizontal at the end of your chin but that is above the jaw by the lateral line.
👩 Rectangular Face
To realize that you have the face as a rectangle in its shape, what you have to do is see if it is as long as it is wide and especially if the area of your jaw is very marked.
Therefore, if you are in this option, the tip that you can recommend is that by contouring you must stand out, marking the cheekbones very well so that the jaw can be more intensely concealed.
In the area of the jaw line what you have to do is use a dark tone regarding the color of your skin, then you have to slowly descend to the temples in a way that is not very accentuated but rather light.
Another trick is to add below the cheekbones by means of a line that is very thick, also another line thick on the jaw line.
Now take the light tone and draw a triangle that is inverted with respect to your eyes, just in the area below them and you can also draw a circle in the central part of your chin.
👩 Round Face
To know if your face is round, what you have to do is look at yourself in a mirror and if your face is as wide as it is long, it is affirmatively a round face.
So you have to sharpen your features by harmonizing with a stroke that is vertical with a dark tone.
You have to go along the sides of your entire forehead as well as the temples, then surround your cheekbones to be able to finally trace in the grooves called nasogenians.
You only have to draw a circle in the central part of your forehead at this step and then you drew it by means of an inverted triangle that goes under your eyes and another one by means of a lying oval that is located in the center of the chin.
To finish once you applied all the strokes you must blur.
👩 Square Face
How can I know if I have a square face?
This is the first question that you will surely ask yourself and the answer is very simple. You have to have both the width and length of your face, both in the jaw and in the line where the hair on your head begins to grow.
You have to apply the darker shade both above the jaw and on your cheeks and also on your temples.
Then to apply the light tone what you have to do is perform it under the eyes, in the center of your chin and also in the lower arch of the eyebrows.
👩 Diamond Face
First what you have to be clear about is if you have your face in the shape of a diamond and for that you have to look at the line where your mane grows comparing if it is narrower than the distance you have between your cheekbones but you have to take into account If your chin is pointed but in a delicate way, the features are not very accentuated.
To find harmony you must apply the contouring technique by first applying the light tones both in the center area of your chin and forehead.
I also recommend you as a trick under your eyes as I previously taught you in an inverted triangle.
For the darker shade you have to mark your cheekbones with a line that passes under the cheeks and to end this process begins to blur.
👩 Triangular Face
If your hair growth line is wider than the area of your jaw, then your face is triangle-shaped, so the best make-up technique that I recommend is using the dark hue, rounding your face both on the side upper forehead.
You also have to draw a circle above the jaw and in the center of your chin.
With this what you achieve is to balance your face visually transforming your gaze to the mirror more harmonious.
