Do you contour your face? Or is contouring a step you prefer to skip. Perhaps because you don't know how to do it or because you don't know which products are right for you? In a contour palette you will find multiple colors, which you can mix to create the perfect shade. But of course you can also use one of the colors from the palette. A contour palette sometimes also contains light colors, which you apply to certain parts of your face that you want to bring forward. You apply the dark colors to the parts of your face where you want to create shadow.
The handy thing about a NYX Contour Palette is that it contains multiple colors, so there is a greater chance of finding the right color for you. In addition to contour palettes, you will also find contour powder, contour stick, contour kit and much more contour makeup in our assortment! Always choose the right color and undertone. Bronzer and contour are sometimes confused, but bronzer often has a warm undertone and contour products have a cool undertone. If you have a very light skin tone, it is important to choose a cool undertone, while a warm undertone can look very beautiful on dark skin!
Contouring
The most important thing with contouring is blending; if you don't do this properly, a patch can be left on your skin. Therefore, use the right tools: brushes, makeup sponges, or your fingers! Make sure that the tools you use are always clean, as this prevents skin inflammation and will also make your makeup look much better. For example, do not use the same brush for contouring that you use to apply highlighter. Another thing to keep in mind is when you apply the contour products. Often the rule applies: cream on cream and powder on powder. Now that is not always the case, because you set your foundation with powder. But for contouring, this is very handy! If you apply cream products over your powder, it can quickly become patchy, the same goes for when you apply powder over your wet foundation. So use your contour powder after your face powder and your cream products before it.
