How To Do Jawline Contouring?

Jawline contouring is much similar to what we do around the cheek area and also the temple of the face (the forehead).

To contour your jawline, you’ll need the following-

• A Brown Concealer Or A Contour Kit
• A Highlighter
• A Brush Or A Beauty Blender

Step-To-Step Guide

1. While you are contouring your entire face, you can also apply a strike of the dark concealer or the contour shade to your jawline but a little above the exact jawline bone.
2. Using a beauty blender or the brush, whatever you are more comfortable with, start blending the contouring shade towards your hairline.
3. Do not blend the shade towards your lips as it may add a lot of depth to your cheeks, which is definitely something we are trying to get rid of.
4. Try blending the product more towards the hairline, but not too much, just enough to not leave hard lines behind.
5. Now take the highlighter and apply just on the jawline and blend the same using your brush or beauty blender.
6. Blend the same until the hard lines are visible. Let the highlighter go a little above and below the jawline for it to look as natural as possible.

What Type Of Highlighter Can You Use?

With many highlighter types available in the market, you can possibly go for any type of highlighter according to the setting of the day and your skin shade.

For a fair skin tone, it is better to use a pink shaded highlighter while for a medium skin tone, you may want to prefer peach or a golden shade.

For people with a dark skin tone, it is ideal to use a gold or bronze shaded highlighter. Hues like golden and champagne are best for medium to wheatish skin tones. Iridescent shades can also work but look for colors that have more warmth to them.
