5 Best Contouring & Highlighting Videos For Beginners

Contouring has become the latest 'must know' when it comes to make-up. A make-up technique that can completely change the shape of your face by carving out your best features and accentuating them. Since Kim Kardashian started posting selfies, showing off her perfect cheekbones, young ladies want to have those perfect cheekbones as well. If you like me and weren't blessed with flawless sky-high cheek bones or a stunning jawline, contouring is a must know skill to have. I've gone out to search for the best contouring and highlighting videos for beginners to learn how to achieve this glamorous look. I have chosen videos that show powder and cream contouring, as well as videos on how to work with your face shape. I recommend that you watch every video, reasoning being each share different tips than the last video, and this will really help to get you up to date.

1) This video is by the Australian beauty queen Katerina. She explains in detail all the steps and tricks to know when contouring and highlighting with powder, to help accentuate your cheek bones and jawline, and manipulate the human eye into believing you were blessed with sky-high cheekbones and a strong jawline. This video is for people for an oblong face shape.

2) This video is by the oh so awesome, Miss Shani Grimmond. As you can see this Australian beaut has a round shaped face, and she will show you how to work with this face shape. What I love about this video is Shani has such a bubbly personality which makes you want to hug her, as well as she shows you contouring & highlighting with cream and powder!

3) Now this video is my personal favourite because the lovely Jaclyn Hill, explains EVERYTHING in DETAIL. When I say everything I mean everything. Jaclyn covers everything from contouring, to highlight and baking.This lady talks fast so you got to keep up and concentrate. This lady has an oval shape face and uses powder.

4) This video is if you have a heart shaped face. Someone who has a defined jawline and chin and a round oval shaped forehead. This video is by Tina Yong, and she will show you how to contour & highlight with cream, as well as powder products. What I like about this video is Tina uses drugstore products, so for those of us who can't afford the expensive make-up, this video will show us how to get that beautiful flawless look without breaking your bank account.

5) If you have a square shaped face this is for you. Roxy Saurus shows us in a quick and sweet video that 'less is more', and also shows us that you don't need expensive name brands to contour & highlight. Roxy only uses cream products to contour and highlight in this video.

All this tips and tricks can be used for all skin colours and skin types. As explained in most of these videos, these ladies will tell you what to do if you have dry or oily skin, or if you have dark or pale skin.
